20 Most Recent Craftsman Tools 1/2" Air Impact Wrench High Torque Questions & Answers

Make sure the fitting are tight on the hose and gun. Also make sure that the switch for forward/reverse is solidly in one position, if it is not it will cause what you described.

I test my impact wrench on a good vice and with a high grade steel nut/ washers and bolt that can take high torque. Select bolt with thread almost to the head. Hold head of bolt on solid vice and place two washers(more if needed to reach into threaded area) and nut on bolt. Set air pressure to max (I have 125psi). Run nut against bolt head with impact. Remove nut with torque wrench for reading. This low tech method will give you a rough idea. Higher pressure may give you better result. If you have used your air wrench for a while. Clean by adding diesel fuel into air fitting. Little at at time until diesel comes out rather clean. Then add a few drops of oil. Then test again. Good luck.

The Chicago Pneumatic air wrench is not the same as the Craftsman, but it's a good brand.
Probably you could sell it if you have no use for it yourself. The impact wrench would have been used to remove lug nuts or other fasteners on an automobile, most likely.

Good luck on deciding what to do with the items.

The seal is bad inside leaking air pressure to the gun without squeezing the triger. Get a reseal kit from Sears

Question edited for clarity. Question moved from Misc to correct category. By 'stride wire', do you mean just short across the switch? Yes you can but really you need to fix the problem. You know these things can blow up and spray shrapnel 30 feet? Google Craftsman (model) parts You may have a short in the motor, in which case, shorting it out won't fix it. https://www.google.com/search?q=Craftsman+Air+Compressor.+I+have+to+press+the+reset+button+on+it

regulator is bad, or tank is not low pressure. you could return it for another one.

capacitor weak --motor drawing to many amps if using extension cord[s] not correct or to far from source and causing to much voltage drop -motor faling--compressor failing

That model number only shows in this post. I don't see how a compressor can be 'oil-less', the friction and pressure is enormous! https://www.google.com/search?q=6.5+HP+oil-less+60-GAL+MOTOR+%22K56A28B23%22 ..

is the plunger sticking below the housing . if so push it back in with a screw driver

Craftsman Electric Stapler Model #193.684231 aka 9-68423. (Came out in 1984) Can take up to 5 different size staples depending on your project. One feature is the "dual power" knob at the top which allows you to use "HI" or "Low" impact depending on the size staple used. Sorry about the blurry pictures, they are sharp on my computer. Try Googling the model number or looking on EBay. "No. 6" means "Heavy Duty Wide Crown .417 size."

I have 351.181720 and the driver does not return. I've had this for years but it has not seen extremely hard use (probably less than 500 brads). Suggestions. [email protected]

Either the compressor or the motor is defective.
