    Now we're getting into another discussion, but might as well have it here. A few years ago I bought the cheapo Husky air ratchet set. I hooked it up to my air compressor and it couldn't even undo the lug nuts tightened to 105 ft/lbs. Now it just sits in my tool box. I think part of that is having a tiny, cheap, Harbor Freight (or Home Depot) air hose. One time my neighbor brought over his Aircat and larger hose, and then my Husky air impact worked better. I still forget that I even have those airtools though.

    tl;dr, I also just want an electric impact that can at least bust loose lug nuts.

    I have the same set, and want the bigger electric for the same reason.

    I do believe my air lines/fittings are cheapos and undersized, which makes a difference, but expected better.

    We only use the air impact after breaking stuff loose with the breaker
