Only 2 types of people use air guns to tighten bolts, NASCAR pit crews who tighten lug nuts and lazy mechanics that don't give a hoot about customer cars. Guess which group overhauls their guns the most to ensure proper torque settings.

It is the second kind that I have problems with, they are probably too lazy to change the torque setting on the gun anyway. Guns usually overtighten nuts by a few pounds and using a ratchet is much safer for the threads.
