Yabbut, methinks the 1,000# figure is calculated using Searz Foot

Yabbut, yathinks wrong.

That was deep and enlightening. snort

OK, checking online, CP (my recollection of the finest product) shows
their top of the line 1/2" impact gun, the CP 749-2, putting out 625
ft# of torque. That amazes me.

I still think the 1000# is a bunch of marketing ****. Air gun
technology doesn't appear to have changed much since I was using them
on a daily basis.
