Airguns / Impact wrench for tire removal
I am looking for information as to what airguns or impactools are used in the pits for changing tires. Please advise manufacturer or brand/model. Our company is interested in getting into CART / Indy type racing.
Thank you |

lots of teams use an Ingersoll-Rand model- easily found and ordered through websites.
Also company named models are out there- Klein, Beta, matco, SnapOn,Mac- hunting on some race parts sites might reveal something as well. I figure price would range (my normal impact was $310Aust. so figure on 270-450 dollars US. The nifty titanium ones are really light but, expensive. |

Don't a lot of people use nitrogen to power the guns. I think its because of the less expansion which makes them more accurate when set to a specific torque using those torque attachments which are supposedly a little iffy with compressed air

many gun guys do use Nitrogen tanks to power the guns as there is no worry of internal damage over a season (no water on moving parts) so they go this route to have a consistent non jamming gun
