The operation of pneumatic torque wrenches is quiet - below 85dB (A), absolutely without impact, reducing damage to tools, sleeves, and locked objects. These two factors can make tool users comfortable to operate, reduce fatigue, and improve safety. The maximum torque can reach 300000 N. m.

Compressed air is the most common power source, but there are also torque wrenches that use electric or hydraulic power, and batteries as power sources, which are also popular. Air impact wrenches are available in every standard ratchet socket driver size, ranging from small 1/4 "driver tool groups for assembly and disassembly to 3.5". Air impact wrenches are generally not suitable for fastening installation parts with ceramic or plastic components.
