I took a better pic today - they got the trailer out of my bay that wasn't supposed to be there but a few hours (!) 
You should have heard the MATCO guy when he came through this afternoon...

To tell you all about who I work for, why I work there, what it's like, and how it feels...

Hey - I tell ya what: There is an Ingersol Rand butterfly impact that cranks out 175 foot pounds that I talked to the MATCO guy about. We talked price, and he can get it...
This is similar to the old Chicago CP225B Butterfly that RAGED for me for years! But it's smaller...
SPEC= Ingersol Rand, Model number: 154154-216 8,000 RPM 175 pounds foot 3/8 drive. OBTW: If the square drive breaks - it's forty bucks to replace the anvil. But I don't think it will go down... *I questioned that, cuz it only has a 1 year warrantee.
There are also CP (Chicago Pneumatic) air ratchets that lay down 90 foot pounds of torque (they're a bit slow - but they CRANK IT ON!). He clued me to a high-end wrench that only puts out 75 FP at first, but is $280. - Until I mentioned CP. WE'RE TALKING TURKEY now...
Those I promised I would buy off of HIS truck... (His price was close to what I saw online)
I know those tools, I was brought up on them, I also know better than to go S.O. markup on them.
Trust me - I know what I'm doing...
