[AT] Air Tool repair??

[Steve W.]

Gene, what doesn't it do? They are REAL simple inside Just a vane motor
and some gear reduction. The impact wrenches have a free weight and pins
that cause the impacts. Usually thin paper gaskets between body parts
and a few O rings for trigger valves and such. MOST Craftsman stuff have
repair kits available if you know the correct numbers on it. I do all my
own rebuilds on my air tools unless it is Snap-On stuff (I have a repair
policy with them).

If it is just gummed up from over oiling or wrong lube you could run
some alcohol through it and then relube it.
