Not sure what you're talking about. It has 1400lb-ft of reverse impact force and 1000lb-ft of fastening torque. Fastening torque is not terribly important anyway, since impacts are primarily utilized for "removing" nuts and bolts, not fastening them.

Pretty sure this is the most powerful impact on the market today; if it isn't it certainly gets the best ratings and performs the best.

Thanks for posting that. Whenever I spend a fair amount of money on something, I want to be sure I'm getting the best bang for my buck. I will research something to death because I'm always concerned I'll buy something pricy and then find something better for the same or less money.

Unfortunately, I'm probably about to drop $450 on this danged Milwaukee impact wrench.

Having a difficult time deciding between the Graco 395 for $999 or Titan 440 for $899. Reviews on both are great and specs are identical. Parts locally are easier to find for graco but cheaper on Titan. And warranty is better for titan. Tough decision!

You'll be very happy with it. As I said earlier, the best power tool I've bought in a long time. Maybe ever...

I own the Ryobi P261 1/2 inch impact. It does a decent job, but 300 ft-lbs just doesnt cut it. I've been using a buddy's Milwaukee M18 Fuel 1/2 inch impact and its impressive. If i didnt have the Ryobi lineup, I'd be switching everything to M18 tools.
