Milwaukee has a new 1/2” impact gun in the M18 lineup.
It has 1000 ft-lbs tightening, and 1400 ft-lbs loosening. It can easily shear the end of an axle clean off in the wrong hands.
It also has an “electronic gearbox” with a 100 ft-lb setting, perfect for tightening aftermarket tuner lugs on the S2000 (not oem acorns)
A serious gun for heavy equipment repair.

Billman, have you tried it on the infamous rear bearing repair?

Yes, there is no axle nut out there that cannot be removed with this gun (or a subframe bolt) I use the 100 ft-lb setting (1/10 of power) for wheel install on the Ridgeline and Volks on the S2000.
I warn this gun will shear a subframe bolt off if you are not tool savoy. Start low and work your way up.
Back in the 90s and early 2000s, cordless impacts were a gimmick. The battery technology has advanced so far, air guns are now the underdog.
I have used my 20V Ingersol-Rand (leader in impact air guns) for everything in the shop. Haven’t touched an air gun in likely 6 years.

They are pricey, but honestly the new Milwaukee brushless impacts are the way to go. I am a tech for a living and I use the mid torque gun and the high torque gun. For everyday use, the mid torque fits the bill. The high torque has extreme power, but isn't much use unless you have a lot of room for a big tool. It is stronger than anyone's 1/2" air impact in the shop though

i bought this for Adam for the holidays. He plans to use it the next time he terrorizes junk yards for parts for his car and his friends car.

Gee most of our yards now you tell them what you want and they bring you the part.
the good old days of wandering the lot are long gone.

He bought himself a 2000 Toyota 4Runner and so far he'd gotten a locking rear diff from a junkyard and installed it with the help of a few friends. He goes off-roading with it. He's been terrorizing junkyards for a few years now.
