USATCO Break Loose Tool

Post by sansouci »

Based on another member's suggestion, I bought a new Break Loose Tool from US Air Tool Company (USATCO) for about $US44. P/N was 53.541AK. I got the kit directly from USATCO with the adapter and some bits (flat blade, philips). And I also picked up an air chisel from HF to power it. Just not sure that my small pancake compressor has enough oomph. Bit I'll add a picture and a follow up on how it works on my oil pan and trans cover bolts.

nice!

Re the compressor, if the CFM isn't high enough to run the air tool all the time it all depends on the size of the receiver on it as to whether you will get to use it for long enough or not. I guess it is a suck it and see job.

cheers
