How can I boost that by 10-15 PSI????? My impact gun has a label that says to use at least 115psi and at 105psi it does not bust lug nuts loose.

It may have instructions on how to adjust it under the cover. There should be a screw/nut for pressure to cut ON and when to cut OFF - you may need to turn a little at a time and waste the air to see where you end up. Note: This no doubt has a "blowout" valve that will just release pressure at a certain pressure. Some are close to the 100psi you have and going higher will mean another safety blow out thingy (nice word) T Loren Champlain Sr Veteran / Moderator Dec 4, 2008, 6:33 PM Post #3 of 3 (2532 views) Re: How to increase air presure Sign In LOL. Pressure release valve? Thingy is a good word, though.
