The air Earthquake is much nicer because you have three forward speeds, at least on my $100 1/2 drive bought four years ago. You can put it on wimp mode to drive the nuts on without fear before using the torque wrench.
The new air Earthquake XT 1/2" is $140. I don't know what you would need 1,000 pounds of tightening torque for but it claims to have it.
I just texted my pal with a giant IR battery powered one he uses to take the big center nut off his 911 Cup Car to see how long the battery has lasted. Just for grins. Edit: responded with the IR is still cooking just fine but his Dewalt batteries are tired. |
Hah! Mine should last a lot longer, I have oiled it at least 5 times!
