Torque and Chrome

Would this be a good impact wrench for my air compressor?

Ok, im buying a craftsman air compressor for my bf for christmas. Its 27 gallons, 150 PSI max.Has a 1.9 HP motor and 120/240 dual volt-wired at 120 volt. 7.2 SCFM @ 40 PSI & 5.8 SCFM @ 90 PSI. The impact wrench is the craftsman 1/2 in. 400 ft/lbs of torque SCFM @ 90 PSI: 6.5 I would greatly appreciate someone suggesting another impact wrench. Preferably craftsman. This is going to be a suprise, otherwise i would of already asked him what he wanted. He restores cars if this helps any? Thanks!

1. That's a fine combination.
2. I used one every day for a year with no trouble. Once in a while I needed to borrow my buddy's Snap-On 1/2" impact driver if something was really stuck, but I never had a maintenance issue with it. I have seen problems with these, with the direction selector failing or leaking, and parts breaking, but they can be repaired.
3. u will need one with more psi
4. if I am reading you right your impact wrench its demanding more scfm than your compressor is going to deiver,,,, to me that woud be a nono,, because you are gonna starve your wrench of operating air,,,,, look for one that wil give you the recommended scfm recommended pus 50% more,, this way you wil not be working your compressor overtime to keep up with your tools,,, pus Im sure that once he gets started,,, there wil be bigger air suckers on the line,,,,,,,,,,,,, good luck
