Within your ~$150 budget and available immediately if you have a Northern Tool near you- Aircat 1404 http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_861253_861253
If you don't mind waiting- Aircat 1150 for $165 from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007WQQ90A/?tag=atomicindus08-20
Honestly- I would first step up to larger hose and air couplers/fittings if I were you. I use 3/8" couplers and fittings in my garage.

Yes, that's part of the equation,,, a 1/4 line is too small for a 1/2 gun. no mystery why it doesn't work at least some better.
I have an aircat 1150. Very powerful, I can pull semi truck nuts off with ease, and put some on a couple of weeks ago and checked the torque and the nuts didn't move (500 lb/ft). Axle nuts, etc no prob. Quiet too compared to the snapon ones at the shop. And good value for money

Is 1/4" line even big enough for anything?

Stronger than a new Mac, and less than 150? Your parameters need some adjusting.
So I guess you're after bang for your buck. Look into Aircat.
I bought an AirCat when they first came out and I'm still running it 15yrs later and I'm happy

Yeah, I work at shortline ag equipment dealership. Kinze is one of the lines we carry.
Nice catch on the nailers. I want nothing to do with carpentry, and tend to forget air power is used for things other than mechanical.
Yes it is a staked nut. It seems to be all the way Unstaked though. I went and bought 3/8" line and fittings today. Fired up the large Kellogg American compressor and still the MAC AW234 will nut budge it. I will have to look at a large 3/4" breaker bar I guess. I will be getting a Decent 1/2" gun this week. I talked the wife into spending a couple hundred bucks give or take. My MAC gun is only rated for like 300 Break away. I'm hoping a larger 900+ gun will do the trick. I am going to get a large bar or ratchet from a friend to try that. But a gun definitely this week.
Thanks again all.

I have a Snap an MG725 that I bought about about 6 years ago(very pricey) but its definitely worth it at this point. That gun is a beast and its lightweight as well. I have an IR 236 also. The 236 isn't a beast but its a great all around gun and I've been using it just about daily for 8 years without one issue yet. IR 231's are probably the best bang for the buck out there.
