I abandoned my Mastercraft corded electric impact gun because it wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding and it had more than twice the torque that cordless model claims.

I also have a bit of a burr in my butt for Makita. I bought a Makita cordless drill when I was working as a cable installer and the thing smoked out (literally) after 3 months. I replaced it with a Hilti which is still working perfectly 7 years later. Same voltage for both drills, but the Hilti has way more torque and the batteries last much longer between charges. It also cost 3 times as much as the Makita though so it is a classic example of getting what you pay for.

I love the sound of pneumatic tools. Makes me feel like a real mechanic. Comparing the sound of pneumatic to electric impact guns is like comparing a flat six to a ricer motor.

That's not to say that I disagree with what you're saying - it's just intersting how we all get different results from our tools.
