Not much to say here except I have a better spring coming. Use a 12 point 3/4" impact socket. I ordered a nice Ingersol Rand butterfly impact and realized there was no clean way of mounting it and it delivers way more torque than necessary. There was a crack in the housing at the nose so I returned it.

The lesser brand was 1/4 the price and has a nose more adaptable for mounting.

For added stability I mounted a steel bushing (JB's your Uncle) -

All the parts and pieces (the base and risers are 1018, the bushings are Al-Bronze and all else 6061) -

assembled -

Mounted and tested. I like it, balance is good, no binding. Spring is so-so and will replace. 60 psi through 3/8" is sufficient torque.

I keep thinking I want to make one with a pneumatic cylinder to push it down and all that. But this is style sure would be easier to build.. Nice job!
 
Very nice simple good looking tool. :cool:
 
Here are pics of the one I built a couple of years ago with a CP 3/8 drive butterfly ratchet wrench. I added the push button valves just to be different, they work great.
