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

You sure you have your regulator on the compressor set @90psi? Also check the adjustment on the impact wrench. The other factor is your hose inside diameter. Craftsman make very good tools and should have a lifetime warranty. @ $60.00 that is a deal.

Some questions.....

First, is there any chance the gun is adjustable? Lots of guns have an adjustment that actually dials up/down air flow into the tool that changes power. Read your manual.

Second, 90 psi is all well and good. How many Cubic Feet Per Minute does the compressor flow? Impact wrenches use a VERY high volume of air. If the compressor can not put out the correct volume at a high enough pressure, then the anvil will have no torque.

Third, how large is your air hose? If it is one of the coiled plastic hoses that come with most compressors, it will not flow enough air to operate an impact properly. It would however work to a point, just not well.
