i don't have a compressor, so i have been looking at electric tools.

such as an electric impact wrench and body saw - here are harbor frieght examples, but i'd prefer better quality brands.

it does appear that an electrci impact wrench puts out about half the torque that air does, 220lbs vs 400lbs.

any suggestions???
