P.S. yes you need what are drop forged sockets, as the broaching in standard chrome vanadium sockets won't withstand the impact pulse
Brian, yes electric. I did have a pneumatic one but did not find it to be very good and running up my compressor (270L tank with 2 x 3hp motors)
is a waste, good for shot blasting however I have also used a pneumatic drill via the compressor for polishing headlights, that worked well
