I have a 1/2" drive Craftsman electric. Its ok on light jobs, but fails real bad on heavy jobs. It wont bolts torqued real tight. I also have a Ingersol Rand IR-2131 which has 600 ft pounds in reverse and 450 ft pounds in forward. It has 4 power settings. It requires 1/2" hose to feed it.
Feed it with 1/4 or 3/8 air hose and its very much reduced in power. With 1/2" air hose, it will loosen the prop nuts on a Iowa Class Battleship. They list for over 200 bucks but you can find them on sales at $179
just do a search on Yahoo for (ir 2131) for specs.
