New tools got a good air compressor but pair it with a crappy impact wrench

Today my dad told me to go get myself an air compressor and an impact wrench as he saw that I had a hard time with my limited tools working on my car. So cool dad.

Any why just thought Id give everyone a heads up on this.

Its a craftsman impact wrench which has a maximum of 450 lb-ft of torque. Or so they advertised. Well it most certainly does not. @90 psi with a 17gallon compressor I could stop its rotation with my hand so clearly I could not get my lug nuts out with it. Well I should have known better it was a $60 gun that came paired with an air nozzle and other small things. I gave it he benefit of the doubt because it wasn't a harbor fright tool. But any why I am returning it tomorrow to sears and getting a better gun.

Just wanted to share that info and give a heads up to anyone in the market for an impact wrench. Avoid this one.
