The problem here is that some of us are thinking "Air Ratchet" and some are
thinking "Impact Wrench"

My Impact Wrench does 450 ft-lbs, whereas my Air Ratchet only 65 ft-lbs.
They are both big enough. Well, an impact Wrench is never really big enough.

There are all sorts of jobs where an air ratchet is the bee's knees.
Things like engine oil pans, where you have 2000 nuts or bolts to take off,
and they're all three inches long.  Nothing that can't be done with a
regular ratchet or wrench, of course, but saves lots of time over the course
of the day.
