And it's a huge disappointment. The torque is terrible. It's also one of the few milwaukee tools that gets a lot of bad reviews.

The impact driver I linked above is my goto instead. It's fantastic. Fast and powerful. The only down side is it doesn't fit into tight spaces as well as a wrench. But it's still way, way smaller than a big impact gun.
You’re using the electric ratchets wrong. You DON’T WANT a lot of power. I would pay more money for one that was even smaller and less powerful. The whole point is to get it into tight spaces and spin. Breaking torque is not important.

Edit: I bet that M18 one gets lots of bad reviews because it’s too much of a compromise. Too big and heavy to use, but to compromised to have any power. You need the little M12 one that does 35 ft-lbs.

This is the one that I use. It’s fucking fantastic and it does things that no impact would ever do for me.
