Was NOT expecting people to tune in and like these this much! We really appreciate it, when we started branching out into new tool types we weren't sure anyone would watch but were dedicated to seeing the category through because the lack of real info out there. People deserve to know what they are buying! As usual, forward any purchase from our t-shirt shop bit.ly/3z98ryF to TorqueRank@gmail.com for a link to all of our ranks lists!

You and Project Farm are 2 of the KZfaq GOATS 🔥

“Gently wake up your wife in the morning and she would still be willing to make breakfast” 😂😂 absolute gold

I love how ir pneumatics reward you with more power just by having higher line pressure. Perfect for shop use.

I’ve had the sunex for over 2 years now and used it as a full time auto mechanic and it’s been pretty solid. It’s very strong for the money and has held up very well. I’ve been pretty happy with it all in all.

I’ve been a mechanic in Michigan for 30 years lots of rust I would have to say IR is top of my list

I will say I have every one of sunex’s pliers and they are amazing, never had major issue. I did chip needle nose from misuse and they swapped them out so fast. Their shipping is unbelievable it’s so fast.

And again IR win the competition, I am proud to see my Air hammer win.

I’ve had the IR 119K for a few months now was really hoping it would show up on here, the thing has a stupid amount of power but I didn’t have much to compare it to. It really amazed my coworker to see a pretty large rivet get it’s head curled over and sheared off within seconds Can’t wait to see my likely next pickup, the astro 4980 get tested and I’m sure it’s on the way! Awesome to finally have a way to compare air hammers much appreciated

I’ve got an el-cheapo ($10)harborfreight air hammer that gets used a lot simply because of it’s size but when I’m not in the mood to mess around and need a heavy hitter my IR119Max has never let me down. I’ve also got an IR needle scale attachment for it that seems to work better than dedicated needle scalers, probably due to how comfortable the IR119Max is to run normally. If I had to buy it again tomorrow, I would have no problem paying full retail for it!

Just found your channel last night I'm so glad I'm not the only person that still uses BEANS as a unit of measurement

This channel is such a good service for consumers, I think it should get funding from the government

This is such a honest and good channel

Super video and great work. Also helped that your example video was from my favorite mechanic from my favorite auto repair channel! Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing.

You guys are killing it! I thought I'd know after this one which gun to go buy, but now I've got to wait for the next video in the series...just in case. Honestly, I'm leaning towards getting both the IR guns you've tested which would cover about anything my home gamer operation would need.

Been recently running into some stuff my short barrel IR is having trouble with (CV axle seized in the hub the other day.) Perfect timing on this.

My CP717 is 10 years old and has done hundreds of jobs. The Snap-On 3050 is a fine tool but the 717 does the business. Great content, thank you.

I have the IR and i love it. Been a beast for years. Ive had it for three years and still kicking. I bought mine for 120 online with a warranty. But from what i hear the Chicago Pneumatic CP717 Super duty is a champion amoung champions, its the OG design of Astros big nasty. Yes it has a bigger shank. But most will argue the astro Super duty .498 shank air hammer is a monster. It didnt get the title as big nasty for no reason.

I look forward to compare to the snap on air hammer, I have the Ingersoll Rand and a work mate has the snap on at triple the price in Australia, but we do the same jobs with them pretty well

holy cow I was just on amazon looking for air hammers! I was just thinking about TTC and it seems my thoughts were answered!

I'd love to see some of the SDS Plus Rotary Hammers tested on this dyno, see how well they stack up as an air hammer alternative

Excited to see the next video, my IR always got the job done so I've never looked at other guns. I'm curious to see how the tool truck guns perform.

Have been waiting to buy an air hammer until you released this

'The Most Powerful Airhammer' yet I don't see Big Nasty in the Lineup......Time to call Eric O again

I love the airhammer videos. I am a user of the med barrell harbor frieght with their 5 dollar chuck. Hehe only the best. Thanks for doing your work you guys knock it out of the park every video.

The CP717 is an absolute monster. It’s a .498 shank, though, so it’s a separate category.

I don't use these stuff but still love these type of videos 😂

Thank you for another fantastic video! 🙏

Awesome series of videos. Another vote to test Big Nasty to get some numbers behind the hype, and to see what .498 really gets you vs .401.

Would love to see the AirCat 5200-A-T tested. I had searched the forums last year looking for a new air hammer .401 typical shank. For price/performance the AirCat 5200-A-T kept coming up. I bought it, far better than the $20-40 crap short ones I've had for 20 years that seemed to do nothing. But I have no way to compare how much better. Almost bought the Ingersoll Rand 119MAXK, but the AirCat was thought to be as good, but saving a bunch of bux. Would be great to see that tested. Great job! been binging the vids !

Excellent, I’m glad you finally tested a rivet gun.

Appreciate this video, had my eye on the Sunex for awhile.

Just bought 119max a month ago. Impressed for the money but nothing like my Snap on. Great video and I loved LA Noire drop in 😁

I didnt notice you figuring the quick change bit retainers in to the value. Theyre definately worth having.

I completely forgot about souix! Glad you thought to pick one up 👍🏻 can’t wait for the tools truck brand video

Really excited for the next series because I wanna buy the Matco one really bad but now I’m gonna wait until you do the video to see how it stacks up against Mac and snap on

I've been running my Matco for 20 years. I think I'm getting the IR now. Thanks guys. I've been watching this entire series. Please review the new harbor freight Cheif

Thank you for helping us make better buying decisions.

Great video! looking forward to what snap on and mac can do! especially after just buying a snap on myself!

These guys have spent all their money the last couple videos lol thank you for that tho enjoy the channel a lot, I like seeing what's the best.

I don't know how you've been listening in on my private conversations... But that Mac air hammer has been on my radar for a bit now. Very excited for your next video. I've had really good luck with the few Mac air tools I have.

I've got the CP hammer. Awesome gun. Wish it had a built in regulator though. Just added one on. Good enough to spin #6 jic fittings off without damaging them when turned down and drives some pretty big bolts and pins out when maxed out so I'm happy. I'm sure all of the guns on this list are worth the cash anyway.

really excited to see the next air hammer vid!

I'm really happy there weren't any cp and dp jokes... also I've owned the new snap on, matco and Cornwell air hammers. Cornwell was the best in my opinion

I'm looking forward to a Snap-On air hammer test. I've consistently heard from mechanics how that's the one to get

Can't wait for the truck brands competing!

Hi, I had an ir that was ok, and a blue point that was a beast and still is, now I want cordless!

I would like to see the Chicago Pneumatic CP7165 perform, it's their latest in this range. Powerful, yet low vibrations are really important if the use is daily. Really nice test, if power is your only priority. Operator using the tool for extensive periods of time will benefit from better ergonomics.

Can't wait to see them next 4 all stacked up.

What kind of pressure can you get out of a 3lb mini sledge by hand vs air hammers.

Don’t forget to test ” Big Nasty” from Astro tools in the mix. Really curious on that one. I have seen Eric O from south main auto struggle with snap-on getting a lower ball joint out, then using big nasty and it lasted 5 seconds. I’m considering selling my snap-on and getting big nasty. Thanks

At 700 bucks for your whole collection I understand why a guy would not want to test it, but you gotta run the Snap On long barrel gun. In fact I'll loan you mine. Its twenty years old and used every day. Nothing I have experience with is in the same ballpark. It will blow a ball joint across the shop with ease. Nothing has ever even come close. I own a number of other hammers and the snap on is what I grab when you absolutely have to fuck something up. I have 4 other guys in the shop with a number of other air hammers, and when the rubber has to meet the road, they sneak my Snap on. And I am not a fan of snap on air tools, but their air hammer is the Diggler in my experience. In other news, love the channel, love the content and keep it up. I hate to admit that watching you guys rattle away at shit is interesting, but it is. So thanks.

I use the sioux model all the time at work putting together box trucks, damn fine piece of equipment

Thank you Sir! Now I know whats going under my Xmas tree this year.

I've had the Sunex SX243HD since Jan 2021, hard hitting hammer while being a bargain in price. Glad it stacks up as well as it does.

I bought the IR 119 a couple years ago, and noticed it was likely the most powerful .401" hammer I'd ever used, beating out my older IR by a good margin. Appears my hands weren't lying; I made a solid purchase.

Well thank God. This video game out literally a day after I ordered the IR. Glad it's not a slouch!

Love this channel thanx guys !!

I am going to check your channel before any tool purchases in the future! I would like to see how the .498 shank air hammers compare to the .401.. Like the Astro Pneumatic 498k and the Chicago Pneumatic CP717. Thanks!

That Sunex has a nice range, good low and pretty decent high. Nice do it all model for the home DIY guy.

I know it's niche but I'd love to see some chipping hammers or rivet busters. The really long ones run at under 1000 BPM with longer barrel lengths. Would be interesting to see the extreme end of the speed/impact side of things

I wish you can feature a CP-714, which is what I have. In my experience, it's comparable to some tool truck brands in power, but has great control/teasing trigger.

Finally a decent video even including the 119Max

I run the cornwell big boy now but my last air hammer was the ir 118 max long stroke and it was a beast aswell preferred it over snap on and matco

Can’t wait for the tool truck showdown!!

I bought a sunex tool cart and it’s just as well built as my snap on box.

Torque Test Channel i absolutely love your video can you do a air die grinder test where you test a bunch of them to see wich one is more powerfull and for the money ?

I have that IR long barrel... good for the price...you are getting good tooling with it and a good case..with that price..not just the tool...but, my Snap On 3050 hits harder...but it has its place...

Can't wait to see what the old faithful snap on 3050 does I've had mine for 20 years and it still gets the job done ...I've beat the tar out of it and only had to replace the trigger and the quick release once

Thanks for these videos. I am in the market again for a new air hammer since my cheif broke in half. This helps me decide what to go with. I'm at a toss up between the IR and Sunex. Which ever I go with will be used for normal automotive repair uses. Such as hubs,rotors,ball joints,studs,etc. While the cheif worked great till it broke, I'm wanting to try something else.

I have the sunnex one I love it it fit my budget and made stubborn suspensions stuff come out it win in my book bc it's under 100 bucks and did almost as good as the ir brand for a lot more

I've been selling surplus aircraft tools for over 20 years. I've sold no less than 500 rivet guns/air hammers over those years. The most powerful gun is the APT 800 .498 shank riveter. As far as .401 shank units go I think the Ingersoll Rand ACV-13 is top dog! The Sioux 270 is a great unit also!

So Mac tools has one with locking bits, that won't rotate. That would be quite helpful with cutting bits. Great channel...love the subtle humor.

I had a regular snapoff hammer. It finally died. I now have a IR long. I feel the snap was more powerfull. Not sure why. Love the test.

I think you need to throw an aircat branded one in the mix. A guy I worked with a couple years ago had one and it was an absolute monster

The Sunex is a beast for the price!

Will you be testing air drills and die grinders in the future?

Pretty cool! Comparison with electric rotary hammers maybe? Different tools, but it will be interesting to see how the mechanisms produce different power curves.

Great video. I would like to see the SHINANO SI4120A tested in your next non tool truck .401 video please. It’s quite affordable and is made in Japan so I’m hoping for good things

The mysteries of the auto universe solved! At least some of them. This is good

been waiting for this one

I been a tech for 25+ years and I will say most tools on the tool truck are over rated over priced and generally not worth it. Only reason they are popular is convenience.

I have the CP 7150 and thought it would do better, but the numbers don't lie. It's done everything I've needed it to and I only paid $35 for it on clearance at Northern Tool. Guess I'll have to buy an IR.

I have that CP, honestly it's hard to beat for the price...but after the barrel coming loose a few times and putting a few dents in the plastic switchy valve cap thing it now idles like a big bore ATV without a muffler as soon as it's plugged in to air. I think it's fun, but probably not ideal. I would love to see aircat's 5200 tested, but I'm not really sure if I like the idea of a composite air hammer...

All this beans talk, glad you had Eric O. at the end!

Great videos you're doing a lot for this industry, me and a lot of people I know in the market would really love to see two hammers and how they compare they are AirCat 5250-A-T Work Pad WP01129 The work pad looks like a good cheaper option comparison to the harbor freight and the air cat looks like a more affordable option to snap on or Matco

I worked in a shop and we had a few Sioux tools being used. Those tools are built like a tank and can take being used for 8-10 hours a day. We had an air ratchet that was old when I started 7 years ago. It’s tightened down and removed many fasteners for leak testing on tens of thousands hydraulic tanks over the years.

I legit thought you guys were making millions of doll hairs a year from KZfaq, lol. How do you only have 50k subscribers!? Should be a crime. EDIT: You'll be making millions soon enough, your channel is really good.

Looking forward to the Atlas Copco 7x rivet gun being tested.

Great comparison.

I have the IR and Im content with it. Im a car mechanic in cali so not much to use it on BUT.. im waiting on the Snap On review to see if I should get it because according to some colleagues, Im missing out😳

please do a CP 714 air hammer on one of your next time, I've heard great things about it

One thing i would like to see on a next video is trying out the astro pneumatic 498 shank. (BIG NASTY)

I'd like to see a cornwell aluminum body when you get around to the truck video. I've had it outdo a snap-on in the field

Since the Astro “Thor” air hammer is way out of my price range for as little as I use a air hammer, the IR might be what I’m looking for. I’m definitely interested in what you get from the medium barrel ones you can buy from Harbor Freight, Home Depot, etc.

If you've got the coin, Cp717 is the be all end all. You should show the leap in power as a comparison to the long barrels on the tool trucks. "Yes you can get these, but you could have this."

Look at the mechanics time saver MTS568, it's only 57 dollars and seems comparable to the IR and Matco. I just got it and my first impressions are positive.

Hey man would really like to see you guys review the Texas twister LT 855 air hammer it's really cool that it's a puller and a hammer would like to see how it matches up

Wonder how the m12 palm nailer holds up

Don’t be changing the rank of my IR! I already bought it. And it rocks.
