[s-cars] NAC - Impact Wrench Question

[calvinlc at earthlink.net]

On the topic, I have no idea where impact wrench manufacturers come up with
their torque figures.  I run a "350 lb-ft" gun at 120 psi and have never
gotten anything over 150 ft-lbs off.  I have tried numerous brands and the
only one that even comes close is MAC.  Anybody ever tightened a bolt with
an impact wrench that says 300 ft-lbs and measured removal torque to see how
close it really comes.

Milwaukee makes an 18V 300 ft/lb cordless impact. It rocks.
