125 is definitely enough to take off a lug nut. You'll figure it out, i'm sure that you just have the regulator turned down like they said.

Most garages operate at 120psi but have at least 100 gallon tanks which means they flow a lot which is more important than pressure.

Really? I don't understand why... most air tools say not to exceed 90psi... is this geared towards DIY mechanics who don't have inline oilers and air.water separators or what?

What size air line do you have coming to the impact gun? Im assuming its a 1/2" drive gun.

It's a regular 1/2" drive gun. The air line is really thin actually. probably like half a cm or something. It came with the compressor kit.

You need a bigger hose. I assume the one that came with the kit is a coil type. Those are fine for nail guns and ****, but not impacts.
