Ok, so before you say "What kind of stupid question is that?", I am asking because I am going to go get an air compressor and all sorts of tools. And the spec will determine which wrench, which will determine which compressor, etc. I know typically specs in general are 70 - 100 ft/lbs.
Anyone know?

Cool, I guess the 250ft-lbs impact will be sufficient!
