I am wondering if this air compressor at max 155 PSI would be enough to break loose 5 lug nuts on a tire with an impact wrench?

Yes but capacity becomes an issue. I piped 2small propane tanks togeather and use them as auxiliary air storage when I'm using a lot of air

This tank is not designed to operate air tools. 100 psi might drive a few Brads or staples, but the pressure will go down with each one. Works great for topping off tires

My compressor is a 5hp 80 gallon putting out 155psi and this regulator has handled that with no problems.I could not find out the max input before I bought mine either, and had to put the pressure to it and see what happened.It has been almost a year since I started using mine and I have regulated as low as 9lbs for powder coat.The gauge goes to 160.It's a pretty big well built unit that will take you by surprise when you take it out of the box.

For changing car tires or the like this compressor should handle it just fine. You can easily get 120 lbs of pressure out of it, but don't expect 150. You may have to wait for the pressure to build up again before you can go from bolt to bolt, but this is a home or light carpenter use compressor.

No...if its full of air... tank gauge should read bout 135 which is the factory cut off setting and your line guage should be set to at least 90 psi to run air tools

The maximum recommended PSI for use with this wrench is 90 psi. I've sometimes cranked the pressure up to 100 psi to loosen particularly stubborn fasteners with no harm to the wrench!

The max pressure is 130psi. There is a heavy duty compressor available with a max pressure of 145psi.

The pressure gauge used to both read the pressure, and set the maximum pressure, has a max setting of 150psi. The trip needle would probably make it cut out at 148ish. So in theory it should be capable of this pressure.FYI the compressor is fairly slow. I used it on a tire with 20 psi, it took about 3 minutes to fill it to 35 psi.

It should work fine for that. And while you could set the regulator down to the pressure you want in your tire, you would better off leaving the regulator at full pressure and using a manual triggered tire inflater (with pressure gauge) at the end of your air hose. Tire inflaters like this often have built-in air bleeder buttons too, allowing you to instantly release excess pressure if you pump in too much.

This tool is intended to work off no more than a nominal 90 psi, but given frictional losses in the airhose, you can safely set your compressor to 100 or 110 psi without doing damage. Harmonic balancer bolts may come in various sizes, so an answer is difficult - but I can tell you that I've loosened overtightened wheel nuts (probably run up to 100 lb-ft of torque), though only after boosting compressor output to 100 psi. As for SCFM, keep in mind that such tools are heavy users of compressed air, so continuous running will cause rapid cycling of the compressor, unless you have a commercial/industrial size unit. I use it with a 4 cubic foot receiver and find that adequate for cyclic use - but would expect the compressor to run continuously if the trigger is held down. I'm not sure I believe the assertions that the unit develops 500 lb-ft in the reverse mode, except maybe "instantaneously" since 500 lb-ft would probably shatter a wrist! Additionally, the unit may be stymied by totally rusted bolts, even of moderate size.

this has a small air compressor for inflating tires,not enough psi to run impact!!!!

If your hoses arnt rated for the max compressor PSI then you will blow a hose and hurt someone. You must use a open end air chuck.

You should be able to, the compressor looks capable enough. However the Nitrocat air wrench uses around 4cfm of air so If you want sustained power you may need a bigger compressor. I must say I bought this to replace my Snap on MG725 air wrench and its a great replacement.

Blew the 15 amp fuse in my truck attempting to inflate my "skike" tires to 100 psi(kind of a cross between xcountry skis and roller blades). Works fine inflating my vehicle tires to 32 psi though.

Don't know the maximum psi. Have used it on auto tires around 30-33 psi with no problems. It apears to be a well built item and am very satisified with it.

I don't believe that this compressor can drive air tools of that type. The only air tools that I've used with this unit is smaller paint spraying guns, inflating tires and multiple sizes of air nail guns. That's a good question and I would suggest going to the Bositich web site and sending that question to the Customer Service / Tech Help via the Contacts link. This is a really good compressor, it's fast, designed very well and it's not as loud as prior units that I use to own.

This can remove properly tightened lug nuts, but it is at its limit doing this and can't compete with air tools. The unfortunate part is many tire shops use an air gun to put wheels back on a car and over-tighten the nuts as the small amount of damage that does to the parts (that is very difficult to discern) is nothing compared to the liability if the nuts come off and the car looses control. An X shaped lug nut tool can be purchased for cheap and used to break loose really tight nuts, and the folding kind are great to keep in the trunk next to the spare tire/jack in case you get a flat as they are easier than the factory tool.
