How Much Does Air Line Size Matter In Your Shop? See How Much Power You Can Gain

If you have the ability to test how much torque an impact gun actually makes, why wouldn’t you. And that is exactly what they have been doing on the Torque Test Channel. Because of their testing experience, they decided that they were going to do a test with two different air powered 1/2 drive impact guns and three different air hose sizes. Each gun was tested with each air hose size to see what the possible gains are and also at two different air pressures.

Seeing is believing with this video, an the data is super easy to see and understand as it is displayed on the graph in real time. Do you need a huge air line in your shop? Well maybe not huge, but certainly something more than the 1/4 inch. Watch and see just how much the differences are. This is interesting.

Below the air line size video you’ll see a video where they actually test Eric O’s impact gun from South Main Auto to see just how much torque it makes. This is one of the impacts used in the air line test, and arguably one of the more famous air impacts in history, so we thought we’d share that one too. Check them out below.
