Not an often visited category, but hardware store air hammers next? It's worth keeping in mind that the creator of this channel is working in product development for Astro tools, and while the tools tend to make what they make when hooked up to dyno's here it's always a good idea to consider multiple sources when looking at a tool!

I'm a huge fan of the minimum power end, so I really appreciate y'all testing that. Hammering out axles and ball joints is important. But sometimes you need to do surgery with a chisel bit. That variable trigger is a must when you need to twist a rusted fuel pump lock ring, or loosen a rounded out Subaru CVT fill plug.

While I do not know about Aircat specifically, i can say that these kind of tools do not use a "typical" shuttle valve like you'd see in a solenoid. Instead, they use a tilting valve: a nail-shaped piece sits in the air passage to block it; trigger pushes on the 'shank' of this 'nail' and tilts it, causing the 'head' to come off of the hole to allow air to pass. My guess is that it all depends on the shape of this 'nail', its seat, and how long it is (for leverage).

It's amazing to me that noone talks about longevity long term. I bought my snap on air hammer 15 + years ago and under HEAVY almost daily use i haven't seen any loss in power. The only thing I've noticed is a little bit of loss of trigger control. So, what's good today may not be good in years of heavy use. Just my 2 cents.

I used a V shaped chisel and rotated the bearing which got it started moving. Chief for the win

I really think the power range score would be better expressed as a ratio rather than a straight subtraction Subtraction means that there are basically no points awarded for doubling your range at the low end. A tool with a 500-4000lb range scores almost exactly the same as one with a 125-4000 range, even though the former's minimum force is 400% worse. And a comparably small improvement in max power of 500lb (12.5% increase in power vs 400% increase in dynamic range) would actually yield more points in the current version of this field. If you want to be really nerdy about it then a log of the ratio would be best, but a straight ratio is still a big improvement in reflecting the control and range you get from a tool

Super Impressive on the new Astro, but I'd be tempted to pony up for the Aircat just to get that trigger. The problem with the Aircat is that I'm not sure my compressor can supply the 11.7 amp current draw the Amazon listing indicates it needs. Drat.

I’ve got the SnapOn and love it. Bought it used for $200. Hits hard and has the best trigger control I’ve ever used. Looks like that Astro is pretty close, so it would be worth checking out if I wanted to replace it. The Aircat looked good and would probably work, but it loses too much power when you hold it the “proper” way. Not an every day issue, but there’s been times I need all the power I can get.

It’s a good thing to remember that all of these companies are in business to make money. Snapon particularly because they have truck salesman. I can’t be sure about now but in years past they also had industrial sales people. The difference between the two was of course the truck versus a salesman with the catalog. if you were an industrial salesman you offered a 25% discount. If you were a truck salesman your profit was 40% the last time that I checked and that was quite a while ago. You have to remember that snap on is in the banking business, they charge interest for the money that you borrow to pay the truck salesman and that’s what it is a financial agreement. It’s nearly impossible to get through peoples head that’s something for example it cost $500 and you can buy another tool that is comparable to that for $150, but you have to lay out the 150 bucks all at one time versus the $500 over a period of time. There’s lots of ways of overcoming that but if you want a prestige look then that’s what you buy. It’s your money you spend it the way you want.

@cian.horgan
@cian.horgan 11 ай бұрын
That's a fun idea! I reckon it'd be disappointing though because the rest of the design is tuned around the existing weight and size, so the airflow would likely not be able to accelerate the tungsten anywhere near as fast. What could be cool is using a tungsten slug to make a much shorter piston with around the same weight as the original. That makes it much more likely that the air can accelerate it, and you effectively get a much longer stroke for free

That guy doing the Jeep axle did it the hard way. A) The blocking ring snaps as soon as you grind 80% of the way through it, no need to worry about hitting the axle with a cut-off wheel. B) Once you cut the cage off, you can get the inner race off by standing the axle vertically and then gently heating it with the torch. It'll fall right off. Might even be able to do it with propane/MAP. No need to possibly melt a spot on your axle for that.

I've been using the snap-on one for something like 7 to 8 years and it still works as good as new as I can tell. I feel it was worth buying considering the performance and longevity.

You prolly won't see this, but getting back to the air flow question, while I know hi-flow fittings are minimal restriction, do straight thru fittings like Chicago claw fittings provide a notable benefit on big air hog tools (I'm curious because I ended up going with 3/4 hose and those to feed a 1" impact to really get those precious beans)

Pure numbers don’t tell the whole story. Trust and reliability in a brand is important. Where they are made matters also. Who cares if a tool hits harder but dies prematurely or when you need it , pay the price and buy the best tools , from American companies

Geat video as always! Just wanted to know if you guys ever planed on testing the Mueller Kueps HD Vibro air hammer, aka "BIG CHOOCH"? Would love to see what kind of score that monster would get.

You mention the air cat having a funky air pressure regulator. The snapon has the same one and I say that because a lot of people I’ve personally came across doesn’t know it’s there 😂

Have you guys heard of honsa air hammers. They are more of an industrial grade air hammer . Curious how it’ll compare to a snap on.

Thor impact is amazing. Strongest around and cheapest too. I value power over price however and my Matco air hammer is an absolute BEAST and I would rather buy another one of that for these rust belt cars, than buy the Thor hammer. Great looking tool though.

With the exhaust covered, the Aircat is merely about the same as the Souix, which is fantastic company to be among. For my money, the Aircat wins this as I really feel like that trigger is worth the premium. (*cries in HF Chief*)

My air tools are about do for upgrading, looking like Thor is gonna be doing it. One thing i find odd is my IR long barrel has a super smooth and easily variable trigger, i wonder if its just well wore in

Another way I could see air hammer OEs making more power is a more dense piston, however I doubt anyone would be willing to pay what would be required for an air hammer with, for example, a tungsten hammer

If one comes across your path, id be keen to see a comparo of a CP7165k and the cream of .401s. Based off of the numbers, it seems like it will party.

Wow I don't have a big need for a heavy hitter very often but that 1 or 2 times a year when I do it would be great to have. I kept saying I would get the harbor freight chief when it was on a really good sale. Well I never picked one up. Now I might just pick one up. I usually buy once cry once but on a tool that I use 1 or 2 times a year I think one of the less expensive ones will be finding its way into the shop.

@torquetestchannel Hi, I just bought a mint 8 year old Craftsman 30Gal 6HP-2HP 150 PSI compressor. I’m a diy mechanic. I had a brand new but older short barrel Craftsman air gun but it has no power. What short barrel gun do you suggest for automotive? I need to knock out some lower ball joints this week and I want to be future proof for rusted suspensions. Is the Thor .401 too big to maneuver in tight spaces around a vehicle? Also how about the IR 119Max or the shorter 123Max? Hopefully you see this message, I’m hoping to grab one tomorrow, thanks 🙏
