I think I have the Dewalt DW291 electric impact wrench (1/2 inch drive), rated at 240 ft. lbs. However, when I tighten my lug nuts to 85 ft. lbs, it won't loosen the bolts, even immediately after they are tightened, so I would estimate it produces something like 70 ft. lbs of torque. I would not buy it again. I got my dad a Milwaukee 1/2 inch electric impact wrench, and I have yet to get a report from him on its torque.
If it were me, I would spend more money and get a brand like Milwaukee. Everything they make is good, in my experience. I also like Porter Cable, and they have an electric impact wrench that is rated to 265 ft. lbs. Again, however, who knows if this is an accurate rating. If my dad reports favorably on the Milwaukee, I'm going to get one of those to replace my Dewalt. Best of luck.
