question re tools to use on my jeep

[ufatbastehd]

Know its not a YJ question but in a roundabout way it is


I just bought IR 1/2 inch thunder gun impact wrench and a
Central Pneumatic
4 HP, 120 PSI, 8 GALLON AIR COMPRESSOR.

My ? is the compressor is it good enough for working on my Jeep and round the house? I have a 2 gallon coleman which seems was only good for filling air in tires.
Hope to see a difference with the new compressor. Keep in mind not for shop use .I know the IR wrench is up to the task.

Planning on using these for my body lift upgrade and then my axle swaps.
And whatever else comes up

Going to ask for more air stuff for my bday and xmas. :brows:

These are the specs for the IR thunder GUN

Thinking I may call harpor f tomorrow and cancel the compressor unless I hear good things from you guys and buy a "name brand compressor"
