You have to check the requirements for the impact wrench.
In my case I bought a Husky impact wrench that requires 5.1 cfm (cubic feet minute) @ 90 psi to allow the 350-375 ft/lb torque.
My compressor is a 4.2 cfm @ 90 so basically it doesn't have the guts to use that impact wrench, I have to break the lug nuts loose then the wrench will do the rest but no way it will ever have the power to undo lug nuts.
Actually I'll sell my compressor and buy a new one with enough volume@90psi but I found they're all belt driven. The small ones like mine have the built in pump and motor and at least in Home depot none of those small ones will give the volume @ 90psi.
I highly doubt the wrench is gummed because they're oiled in the factory and comes with caps on all ends.
