Check the CFM ( cubic feet per minute) requirement for the tool and also the CFM output of the compressor . Also pressure drop on a 5/16 " hose @ 90 psi , 7.5@10' 9.5@20' . It takes a lot of CFM's to run an air wrench and of course you need the correct pressure.You may have to wait for the compressor to "catch up "between tasks. A large tank of reserve air will help.

Merry Christmas,
