Amazon.com Product Description

From the Manufacturer

After Porter-Cable captured the lion's share of the pneumatic nailer business it seemed natural to focus on a whole line of pneumatic tools. After two years of testing and redesigning and testing again Porter-Cable is proud to introduce their new line of pneumatic tools. This 3/8-inch pneumatic impact is packed with premium features you normally only see in a 1/2-inch impact. The 1,800 blows per minute create a maximum torque of 125 ft/lbs at 90 pounds per square inch of pressure (psi). With a free spinning speed of 10,000 revolutions per minute this unit not only has enough power to get the job done, it is fast as well. The best feature of all has to be the variable-speed trigger for precise control, a feature not normally offered on pneumatic tools. A one-touch forward/reverse selector, durable pin clutch mechanism, and cushion grip round out this tool.

4.0 out of 5 stars 3/8" NPT should be 1/4"., August 25, 2005

Impact wrench works great but I have two issues. First of all, the connector should be 1/4" NPT not 3/8". Secondly, it's harder than it should be to find the notch that the dial should be turned to in order to set the maximum torque. Having said that, this is a very good product and I would recommend it's purchase.
It's hard to find impact wrenches like this one that can actually be used to tighten without the risk of applying too much torque. Most other wrenches that have torque limiting features don't specify what the maximum torque is at each setting. Without this information, you really have no idea how much torque your applying and the adjustment feature loses its value.

I have used this with a small compressor to break lug nuts on mud-encrusted kart wheels and to drive large lag screws without bogging down. I am pleased and it goes with me to the cabin.
