    This dude loves to show us the tools so much he took apart his whole truck just to show us.

    Thanks for reviewing the Capri and showing the Matco(who doesn't make one tool). I bought the Astro 1/2". Don't use air tools much anymore but this has its place. Super tight space where a battery wrench won't work as well.

    good review, I like the whole different applications you demonstrated. I always like to know the pressure recommended, as well as what's being used at also.

    This was at 150psi static pressure. I have never measured dynamic pressure with the tool running but it's probably around 120psi.

    As u can tell, I’m watching all your vids. I use mostly electric ratchets. My air compressor only goes to 120. I remember u saying u have a two stage pump so u r running 180. The air tools have a whole lot more beans at 180. I’m gonna try the swivels. I like the long reach 3/8 Hercules and the brushed Milwaukee 3/8 for weight, speed and balance.

    We run 150psi of static air pressure in the shop through 3/4" PVC air lines to 3/8ID Goodyear hoses. I haven't measured dynamic pressure but I imagine it probably drops about 30psi or so when a large air tool is running.

    All of these automotive grade tools are rated @ 90psi. If you run them at a higher pressure, you're just sending them to an early grave. None of these guns can handle much more than 130 psi. The focus shouldn't be on how much pressure you produce, but volume of air stored, and delivered. An 80 gallon compressor at 120psi is going to provide better performance than an 8 gallon compressor at the same pressure rating.

    @@LynxStarAuto I'm half with you. I look at it as the compressor fills the tank and the tank delivers the air to the tool. If tool demands more CFM than the compressor can deliver then the tank empties. Like if you spend more than you earn then your bank account empties. In that scenario, the larger the tank the longer you can run the tool before it gets too slow when there's no longer enough pressure left in the tank. But if the compressor can keep up with the tool then the size of the tank doesn't matter. So I agree it's not about psi in the line, but I think it's more about the CFM of the compressor.

    Very helpful review! I've been unable to find one important dimension for the Astro 1834. The tight space I'm dealing with has an obstruction beside the bolt head. I am trying to find the dimension from the edge of the Astro 1834 head to the anvil axis. Can you help with that question?
