The product, in the report: Earthquake 1 in. Aluminum Air Impact Wrench 61616 alternate photo #1 1 in. Aluminum Air Impact Wrench 61616 alternate photo #2 EARTHQUAKE 1 In. Aluminum Air Impact Wrench MOdel EQ01A UPC 61616, 92421, 6
Impact gun engages while being maneuvered into position for use. Please keep in mind this tool is very heavy requiring a firm grip just to pick it up. The trigger is located at the grip on the outside of the handle. Making the gun dangerous to just pick up from the floor if it is connected to air supply. The natural method of using this tool is to align the socket on the nut to be removed or installed by twisting the drive anvil with one hand and press the tool into place with the other hand using the rear handle at which time the tool inadvertently engages because of the trigger placement. The location of this trigger could be compared to having the trigger on a shotgun on the rear of the shoulder stock! just getting it in place ready to use and it goes off.
