Impact not working??

Have no Idea just grabbed it off the shelf and aired it up. Forgot to add its pneumatic. I don't think my little pancake compressor is cutting it, the gun says 5cfm@90psi, and the compressor is rated 2.3cfm@90psi. My dad to back his big 50 gallon kobalt compressor

The pancake should be good for one lug. If your impact truly is an impact not an overgrown air ratchet.
Get a breaker bar and a torque wrench. Better safe than sorry.
Check and see if you got a china tool palace near you. Just keep in mind you get what you pay for. If you break their tools buy a better one if you really used it.

Or just buy weekend warrior king craftsman stuff at sears.

that must be some wussy impact! a pancake compressor should be able to run a decent impact, it's not like you're hammering non stop (atleast you shouldn't be), just a little burp of the trigger should bust those lug nuts loose, you just have to let the compressor recover. i think you need a new (quality) impact.
there's a reason they make torque wrenches, and this is that reason. torque them, drive it, then within 60 miles, re-torque them.
overtight can be just as bad as not-tight-enough.

Obviously you aren't picking up what we are putting down.
A pancake compressor will NOT get your lug nuts on safely. Nor will a cheap gun attached to a pancake compressor. Those compressors are great for roofing and stuff, though.
And you are supposed to oil your pneumatic tools EVERY TIME you use them. 3 drops MINIMUM. If you don't, then they aren't going to last.

My dad's got a 25, and it takes off three wheels, and 4 lugs on the fourth before it has to fill back up.
I can't wait until I have a shop. I'm getting a 80 gallon.
One thing to remember for those of you who live in colder climates is to drain your compressors. Depending on how cold it gets, that's how often you drain it. Here, when it starts dipping below about 0, we start draining the compressors at work daily. If it's below freezing, it's just once a week.

Really? I would never use anything less then a 10 gallon on auto stuff. The motor just runs too often on anything with less then 10 gallons cycling through it.
