You have to be careful when putting bolts back into stuff though with air tools. I've seen many bolts break from people hammering them in with air tools.

DEFINATELY don't use them for major engine work like head bolts or anything.

You got a compressor and all those tools new for $300? Damn! *runs to home depot*
Yea, it might of been $350 but Im pretty sure it was only $300. I know it wasnt any kind of special deal or anything because they still sell the same kits for the same price. Than you just to to autozone and buy the sockets for like $20 bucks.

I've already got a nice set of snap-on sockets. Paid wayyyy to much for them though....

Only $175 for an 8 gallon air compressor...Going to have to buy one this weekend!!!!

i got a 12 gallon tank and it works pretty good. i use it for sand blasting and anything i do to my car at home, taking wheels off, intake swaps, ect. the only thing i dont like is how quick the air runs out when im usin it. and then waiting for it to fill up. and if you dont know what kind of deal 300 is for all of that, my impact alone was nearly 300 [:@] the compressor was almost a grand i think. maybe more but its a crapsman
