Default damm my impact wrench is fooked, anyone got any ideas

Just bought a wheel nutt remover and need my impact wrench i goes to start it and all that happens is air coming out by the trigger, and nuttin turns etc, so took the fooker to bits, made sure all was ok, oiled etc but it still does the same, is there summit simple i need to do or is it fooked? it worked fine when it was put away and hasnet been dropped or anything really so a bit confused as to why its fooked, personally i think my car is delibertly nicking my wheel nut and fooking my wrench to purposly fook me off, i reackon the RST also nicked my multigym instructions as well

just took my compressor pipes etc off and retightened them, checked the tyre enflator and the sand blasting gun, plus the air gun and spraying gun all have lots of damm cold air and seem to have pressure behind them, may try to inflate a tyre or summit to check as if theres no pressure it shouldnt be able to inflate anything,

just turn comp right up as my spray gun etc will run at low psi but my impact wrench needs about 90psi to run properly

Hope you didn't check this by putting your hand over any of them

Hope your hand wasn't too close, compressed can be very dangerous (seriously).
