I have very little experience. I handled two large impacts (both for
selling on ebay as I have no need for them).
One was a 1.5" splined I-R impact (sold to a rec.crafts.metalworking
member). Another was that 2.5" impact.
I did not have enough air to spin up that 2.5 impact to full speed.
But I did have enough air to spin up the 1.5" impact. I held it as
tightly as I could, and still it almost jumped out of my hands.
