I think the manual says 90 psi max. **Q: Have they fix the trigger issue yet?** A: Nope **Q: Is there a protective cover or boot for this model?** A: No but the over moldings are very durable i have whiped them down with mineral spirits and also Virgin Mask Wash (think like Lacquer thinner but stronger) and the results are a clean tool. No color removal or fading of any kind. I got the mask wash on my Dewalt 1/2" impact and it resulted in the plastic looking like spider web cracks, it was only visual though. But not on the AirCat it's built with industrial shop life in mind **Q: Is this the 1/2" or the 3/4???** A: 1/2 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/100525071-aircat-1178-vxl-1-2-vibrotherm-drive-composite-impact-wrench](https://www.desertcart.us/products/100525071-aircat-1178-vxl-1-2-vibrotherm-drive-composite-impact-wrench) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-29*
