Finally bought myself an impact wrench after 13 + years of working on my cars.

Anyone know how to tell the torque equivalent of the speed settings?
The instructions only specify maximum value.
I need to achieve about 90 ft lbs for a task where a hand torque bar isn't able to do the job.
By the way, it's been a great purchase thus far. Very pleased with it.

those sticks are for impact guns, and its really your only option, short of getting a $1,000 impact gun testing device

1st you need a torque wrench to set final torque.
How much torque the gun is putting out can vary depending on how much input air is going through it. I really don't know how to convert it.

that's not how it works
you can spin it on and let it impact once, you can sit there hammering all day, those will be different at all settings and at all input pressures/flow rates. the max torque listed in the manual is some lab-created calculation based off ideal conditions, usually in reverse and basically has no place in reality
you either put a torque stick on the impact or you use a normal torque wrench, there's no other way

I've used torque sticks for a while and they're really close to what my Snap-on torque wrenches click at. Normally you can get just the one you need for much less but because your torque requirement is not that common I posted that set.
Good luck with your project
