You are not going to use a 1/2" with a 10mm socket...the small Snap-on 3/8" is the shizzle and it has plenty of torque.
It sounds like you gents are using them as powered ratchets. I can see the point in that. I had two air powered ratchets, one looked like a ratchet and one was a butterfly model. I don't think I ever used either, but in cordless gun form if they got in the right space, I could see using them.
