The big repeated use for me is wheel changes and the 140 ft-lbs spec for the Camaro required something more powerful than the really, really, really old Goodyear thing I'd been using for 10+ years that, with a full charge, could usually bust 3 of 5 nuts off the first wheel.

The Milwaukee mid-torque has 3 power settings. The lowest almost feels broken. I use the middle to spin lug nuts on, but it's sometimes not quite enough to bust them off, so full power for that (600 ft-lbs, I think).

Ratchets are on my list. Just haven't run across a sale that quite gets them to the price point I want yet.
