crankshaft bolt

I'm lookin at a 300ft/lb torque electric impact wrench to get the crankshaft bolt off my 3rd gen max and some other cars... or do you guys think it'd be better to go air impact wrenches with even higher torque? I know it varies from car to car but shouldnt this be more than enough? I just dont want to end up buying it and have it not work for me.

IF you want power, Air Impact is the only way to go.

Air is nice but it's quite cumbersome. Having a loud compressor that can support enough volume. The electric wrenches deliver just as much torque and can be used virtually anywhere. I have used both and I prefer the elec. for this very reason.

Craftsman and Dewalt both make some really nice electic impact wrenches.
