Tool Question on Impact Wrenches

All,

I've got a question for all the air tool users.

I just bought an impact wrench at the home depot (Husky brand) and it seems to have a slow leak when attached to the compressor. The air ratchet I bought at the same time works fine, no air buzz at all.

From within the main cavity I can hear a relatively small, but not un-noticable weezing. I've returned the tool thinking that it was a defect, but the replacement still does the same, but it sounds a bit louder.

The air is not leaking from the quick connect or the hose, both are on tight and I used teflon tape. And the weezing sound is not coming from anywhere near the bottom of the handle where they attach.

My question is, is this normal, or should I return it an find another brand?

Thanks in advance,
/Kevin
