I have a husky impact wrench, set at 100psi, but all that happens when i squeeze the trigger is air comes out of three vents on the bottom of the wrench, just adjacent to the imput hose. Is there something wrong with the wrench or am i doing something wrong?

There should be an air control valve adjacent to the air inlet, is it opened sufficiently. Failing that there is a problem with the drive motor. It could be seized bearing or a broken vane. There is nothing you can really be doing wrong, it is a very straightforward tool.

Get some air tool oil and put it in the hose connection and manually turn the socket end by hand,the air vanes have frozen in place and can't hold the air in to operate the unit,make sure when you do this squeeze thge trigger to let the oil into the units barrel,then connect to an air supply and try it,you may need to help get it started by hand,then let it run and add some more air tool oil again to keep it lubed

When the trigger is pulled air blows out a vent at the bottom and the anvil doesn't rotate.

If debris enter the gun, over time the vanes will not move into proper positon and react to air-flow. Vanes can become stuck if stored for long period of time. Pour small amount of diesel fuel into the gun and activate the trigger. The fuel should come out clean, if however black gunk comes out, keep adding fuel until gun is clean. Eventually all the the debris will be washed out and restore function. Good luck

Where is the o-ring for the air intake

The problem is in the trigger valve and is a very common problem with these and other brand, some even do that when new! Most people just live with it but you can dissassemble the gun and try.
