for 3/8" I use an IR model # IR2115TI.
advertised torque is 230 ft. lbs. Max reverse is 280 ft. lbs

Actual torque is substantially lower.. It's a great gun, but if the air pressure is slightly low it has a DRAMATIC impact on maximum torque. With our shops air a harbor freight will probably have more torque...No problems. I have dropped it numerous times.

for 1/2 inch I use the matco MT1769. It's rated @ 700 FT LBS. It's no where near that with our shop air, but again in the last shop I was in this gun was badass.

The strongest gun I've ever seen was actually a cordless gun. It was an older model snap-on. The batteries kept dying, so he traded it on a $700 Makita set that was rated at more power, but had no where near the torque of his snap-on....I was I knew the model #, but they don't make it anymore.
