I have what I thought was a decent quality cambell hausfeld 1/2" gun which
is rated at 380 ftlbs. All fitting are 1/4" M style and hose is 25' 3/8" ID.
It will not remove my lug nuts from my chev 1/2 ton truck. I tried pressures
from 90 up to 120 psi with no luck. It removed a few of them but some will
not loosen at all. I am using 1/2" drive impact sockets as well. Anyway are
these guns over rated, it is made in Taiwan. I noticed some ingersoll rand
and even sears brands rated up to 600-700 ftlbs, is this what I need. I
tried a friends Chicago pneumatic and it would not spin the nuts either.
Also there is an Allen set screw type plug in the side of the gun and it
says oil, how do you know how much to put in? Thanks



Having used Campbell Hausfeld exclusively for a couple of years, I just
bought an Ingersoll Rand 231HA. Now everything I tighten turns into
shrapnel. Still learning how suddenly important the power control knob
is.
my advice is to go he

and spend 97.00 on one vs. 45.00 for the CH, you're getting 5 times the
gun and power.



I have an old IR 231 which has lost its poop. I also have a 3/8"
butterfly wrench that has lost its poop.

Where can I get these rebuilt or can i order the rebuild kits and do it
myself.
