I’m so impressed with the job that the 3/4" drive air impact wrench did for me on my shock absorber replacement that I’m rethinking my rigs air compressor “needs” (my needs really). For the last 28 ye...

One of my issues is that my RV is also my home. Currently I have a storage space nearby, mainly for family keepsakes and for now, my extra tools. However when I hit the road in a month or two the storage space won't be so convenient, hence my desire to have tools with me that can git-r-done. BTW I purchased a torque multiplier and didn't have much luck with it. I talked to the Snap-on tool man about it (I didn't purchase it from him). He said that they're made more for tightening bolts and not for untightening. I just don't know what to believe. He also offered to loan me an air impact wrench, but like a fool I didn't take him up on it.

Geocritter,
The Torque Multiplier I was talking about is this one:
Torque Multiplier
It's primarily for lug nuts that are seriously tight. I suppose it could be used for other purposes but, it would be real awkward in may situations. The torque multiplier you may be talking about may look more like a ratchet head than anything I'm speaking of. Yes, mine is primarily a single purpose tool but, it does that purpose outstandingly well. I can sit on my a$$ and with one arm, break free all 10, 450 lb. lug nuts without "breaking" a sweat. But, again, it's primarily a single purpose tool.
Good luck on setting up Shop while in your travels. It would be nice to have all my tools while out on the road. But, I'm finding that more and more, I just want to relax while out there, I'll fix things when I get home.
