Also, if you're using a nitrogen tank for your airjacks you could run an air impact wrench off of the tank. Ingersoll-Rand unit for 350 ft-lbs ~ $200. A quick release coupler at the end of your hose will let you use the wand and wrench interchangably.Did you get a new car ('04)?

You can run a single take of nitrogen and just put a T in the line. Put the car up and then back the pressure down to use air tools..For some reason they dont like the 400 or so psi of air running thru them.

amondc, good point.
Another note - there are different flow rate regulators. If you will run a big impact you need to make sure the diamater of your hose and regulator can support the needed flow of nitrogen. For airjacks it seems not to be an issue.
BTW - the proto wrench was also about $700, but the torque multiplier was only about $200 (if memory serves).
