Amateur here.
Semi has seen salt air for 13 years.
Was thinking of pull off wheels and checking and changing brakes if needed. Shops getting $100+ per hr. Hmmm.

Do not have 1 inch impact. Do not have large compressor.

Would a torque multiplier be a good investment for my job? I watch them being used on YouTube and it is hard to imagine just turning that short 12 inch long crank will take a rust nut loose.

I tried my 3/4 inch drive set and can see why I would easily break it, so I know that is out.

I could use my 30 gallon tank/compressor at goes to 125 psi and has a 1/2 inch line. Feed that air into my portable 10 gallon tank and run a 3/4 or 1 inch line about 10 ft long to a 1 inch impact wrench that I would buy. Does that make sense or will I still be short of air power for the impact? Instead of buying a torque converter.
