Running Husky 1/2in 800ft lbs impact wrench with 4.5 gal Dewalt air compressor D55146

Review of Dewalt 4.5 gal 225 psi D55146 air compressor running a Husky 1/2 inch 800 ft/lbs impact wrench H4480. Although the impact wrench box recommends a 20 gal tank this 4.5 gal compressor was able to keep up with no issues.

Good videos thanks

[@joseacd01]

Thank you

[@ptaweston]

Tanks that can keep up with 1/2 inch impact wrenches achieve this either by being 20+ gallons in size with moderate pressure of 150-175 psi, or by using a small tank like this one with extremely high pressure 225 psi, which allows the tank to store more air in a small space. There are pros and cons of course.

[@homehackshowtos]

PTA Weston thanks. I’m going to look at adding an expansion tank. Hopefully that will give me the pros of a mobile compressor with some of the benefits of a larger tank.

[@craigguilder6593]

That it will

[@homehackshowtos]

I now have an expansion tank. I’ve paint sprayed with my Dewalt compressor using it and it works well.

[@enriquemejia5861]

@@homehackshowtos can you post a video of the expansion tank

[@homehackshowtos]

Yeah. Thanks for the idea. I will try to this next week.

It is great machine☠️

[@bryanmartinez6600]

I see many people use these but at the same time I see a lot in the garbage. Framers especially use this compressor but I have a Rolair wheelbarrow compressor.
Not really a long life compressor when running on job sites.

[@matthewgonzalez2360]

Is it quiet? Can it be used while in the verticle position?

[@homehackshowtos]

Pretty loud. I ended up buying a quiet small makita compressor to run things like nail guns, etc. No it needs to be flat when running. You can store it vertically.

[@coreymoore8991]

How has that Husky impact wrench held up over time ?

[@homehackshowtos]

It’s worked well. I haven’t had any issues, but my usage has been relatively limited.

[@rileychu4489]

if you couldnt buy the ones with all metal housings dont buy them anymore.

[@keithbandy8959]

[@homehackshowtos]

[@kennykenworthy8756]
