Hi chaps,
This is my first post so be gentle....
Bought the Aldi compressor a few weeks ago (25l, 2.5hp 8bar) and also the Aldi impact wrench to use on my cars. The impact wrench wouldn't crack the bolts on my Golf so i took it back and got a refund - afterall what do you expect for a £15 wrench? To replace it i treated myself to an Ingersoll-Rand 1/2 2135qti impact wrench second hand off e-bay. Again i have tried the wrench on my car and although it is better than the Aldi one it still struggles. I am using the 10m air line that came with the compressor that i estimate is 8mm internal diameter (difficult to tell though without cutting it). The hose is terminated in the Euro quick connectors and i'm also using the Aldi inline water filter and lubricator. The wrench runs for a good 10 seconds before the compressor kicks in. Do you think this is down to the compressor (too small?) or do you think there is something else wrong? Would changing to 10mm internal diamter hose help?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Matt
