2016 Range Rover Vogue SE SDV8 Corris Grey

One of the things we use our compressor here for is as an impact wrench. If you search for Air Impact wrench on eBay of Amazon and get a nice set if you need to undo/tighten bolts - including wheel nuts etc. (Draper, Hilka, Sealey, Stanley do good sets)

We've had differing results with different wrenches and you do need a bigger compressor to do undo really tight bolts but as a useful tool in the workshop now you have a compressor the air wrench is a good addition. With any of these sorts of tools (you can get air chisels, riveters, cutters etc as well) the key thing is to understand the air consumption a tool needs (thats measured in CFM) compared with the operating CFM of the compressor - i.e. if you buy a tool which needs more air than your compressor can provide you'll not get good results - match the tool to the compressor and off you go.

Hope thats of use

Scotland 2008 Range Rover Vogue TDV8 Stornoway Grey

+1 on the impact wrench but don't be tempted to use ordinary sockets with it. Usually they come supplied with high impact sockets. John
