i knew my cheap crap Kobalt one wasn't good, but holy crap was it ever horrible in comparison to my new Aircat 1150!
remove all the lug bolts from the wifes jetta in less than 1 second each, and the axle bolts took about 5 seconds each. after all that my 20gal air compressor still didn't need to refill, the kobalt would have gone "woosh woosh" at the axle bolt where then i would have needed to get the breaker bar out btw from the factory that axle bolt was torqued to 148ft/lb + 180* more
they changed the spec on the newer cars to 52ft/lb + 90* and changed the bolt. they were torque to yield so i had to replace them and i would much rather try to put another 90* onto the new one than 180* onto the old, wonder how much torque that would actually be, well over 200 for sure!
it is really amazing at how much power and how efficient it is compared to my old one or anything else i have ever used. i'm definitely afraid to try and install bolts with it for how fast it moves them! probably won't ever
summary, Aircat 1150 kicks ass, go get one!
