I'm cleaning my cheap impact wrench and I will show you how. Air tool maintenance is important, and I've put this off for too long.
The impact wrench was filthy after 10 years of use and didn't always work all the time. Now it's rejuvenated and working great!
We also get to see the inner workings of an impact wrench while cleaning it.

"If is not broke,fix it until is broke"...😅😅...soo funny...my kind of philosophy 🤣

Thanks! After watching this, I just tore down my Campbell Hausfield I got at Walmart probably 20 years ago. Cleaned it and oiled the parts while I put it back together. It'll remove lug nuts again... Before, it would only do that if I broke them lose first. Just wish I'd watched this BEFORE roatating tires a couple weeks ago the hard way!

Good idea! I didn't think about an oil additive.

Thanks buddy, I've just bought one of these cheap, it's got low power so I'm hoping a good clean will work wonders like yours did!

Great video! Thanks. $50 bucks now at Harbor Freight. Covid. Of course it's Covid. We are ALL going to be paying extra for Covid for the next 100 years. At 75, I'll just go buy my last ever impact wrench. My problem is the trigger. It's stuck in the "Always On" position. The only way to stop it is to push that chrome button "thingy" on the back and the front. Thinking of buttons, my wife has a cute innie belly button!

Looks similar to a Campbell hausfeld impact, they might sell rebuild kits.

Did you check the alignment of oil ports?

@Jack-js7zc Жыл бұрын

I bought the same impact at GoodWill for $5 but it blows air through the exhaust and I’m going to try this

@bahitman3239 Жыл бұрын

Ok air tool oil just goes in through your air line. Most oil bath impacts call for 30W non detergent oil to lubricate the hammer mechanism. Air tool oil is for the motor and 30W for the hammer mechanism

Nice video. I have one just like 👍 t and it works great, but the forward reverse selector is loose and moves out of place.

I have a husky brand one that came with a 10 gallon compressor. It’s releasing air out by the trigger even tho it’s still working. But I feel like it’s not suppose to release any air from it to make it work. I have to see if I still have the receipt as Home Depot has a 3 year warranty on pneumatic tools according to their website (HD owns husky). If not I’ll be giving this a shot. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for this video, I bought an Impact wrench just like this from an lady next door, that was cleaning her basement out after her husband had passed away, and she did not know if the air tools I bought worked or not, well the impact wrench was doing the same thing as yours blowing air and not working, I will try cleaning it and see if it improves its function.

What size compressor are you using

@riyazshabodien2036 2 жыл бұрын

Could u show me more of the trigger, because it seems like mine there is air escaping and therefore doesn't want to turn...

Use blaster air tool lubricant it’s the best way to go

If I get an air impact gun I will definitely do my best to make it run better

just cleaned up thee old Mastergrip I got from Costco for like what $30 almost 30 years ago? good heavy stuff haven't used in it 10 years or more the 1/2" impact was frozen a good cleaning and she purrs like a kitten minimal wear compared to many others i have seen here online.. I'll have to get into the 3/8ths that came with it see if its spinning, prolly needs a good cleaning, darn I forgot tool the bearings before I put it together, dangit .. they get a thicker oil at first, maybe slosh 30 weight around in it then drain it? ah I might as well take it back apart do it right
