I have an IR 2131 (I think there is a newer model(2135?)) with 600
ft-lbs reverse torque.  It is a quality tool and I have never been
disappointed.

You wouldn't use an impact continuously.

You are in fat city for an impact wrench.  That 6 hp may be marketing
hype.  The only number that means anything on a compressor is the SCFM.
 The max inlet pressure for air tools is supposed to be 90 psi.
