I know you said air impact but you may want to look into the Milwaukee M18
Fuel cordless impact.  They claim 1400 ft-lbs of torque breaking and 1000
ft-lbs tightening.  I follow a couple heavy duty mechanics groups and this
cordless impact gets high scores with many guys preferring it over their
pneumatic.  There is even a 3/4" version available.  I know I plan on
replacing my 18V DeWalt with one once I have the spare cash.
