In general, I don't think air powered tools have less torque. Rather, they have less torque at low rpms.

Ah fair enough that makes more sense. The description made it a not quite as clear. I think it's too bad home air compressors tend to be more of a niche/hobbyist thing or situations like the Amish. I honestly never really appreciated the power and versatility of a compressed air system until working in a place that works off of and relies on it.

    Home air compressors produce so little compressed air that they generally can’t even keep up with the needs of a small tool at 100% duty cycle.
