Ed, all 1/2 put out at least 200 ftlbs, which is more than any bolt on a common job, even rusted ones, will take to remove. Id bet money that your gun puts out at least somewhere in the 200 range. Your problem may not be your current guns lack of power, as it might be the lack of air to reach that power. Usually, the cheaper the gun, the more air it will eat, because of a more effiecient design. Look at one of the IR super duty grinders compared to the Standard ones. The superduty ones take like 14cfm, the standard ones use like 19.
As fo that gun, it should be fine. It has a better warantee than both IR and Snap on combined. Check out the impacts per minute rating on the gun if you cna find it. If you dont have as much air as tbhe gun takes at full load, you wont reach that full torque range, or you will, but it will quickly fall off. IF it has a very high Impacts per minute rating, like in the 900+ range, you will have more initial removal torque, and you will see greater sucess, despite not having all the air it wants.
