I've got two electric wrenches...they both suck.

The HF one is typical Chinese junk...I'll sell it for $20 (you pick it up...Silver Spring, MD) because it's just sitting in my basement for over two years now.
The second one is a porter-cable or dewalt or somesuch. Paid a LOT more for it and it's only about as powerful as the HarborFreight and looks suspiciously enough LIKE the Harbor Freight one that maybe it's what the Chinese used as a model! Neither one is powerful enough for anything but lug nuts and even then the electric ones are slow compared to an air wrench.
Although I admit the electrics are better than nothing.
BTW...the air wrenches really like 135psi or better. And 5hp and a 25-30gallon tank or mo better a 175psi and 30-80 gallon tank. Also use 3/8" industrial air couplers if you don't have 175psi...the 1/4" holes for std automotive quick couplings just don't seem to have enough air at the lower SCFMs.
