One of those industrial tools that are priced stupid because they can.
The outfits that normally buy them basically don't care about the price, plus $20k is like $20 to us poors.
Check out Milwaukee M18 industrial stuff like for lineman. What would be $200 in the Homes Depot version is $2000

Programmable torque is interesting, you could save a lot of time and money if you run the kind of shop that torques lug nuts to spec.
Hilti had an Impact that would scan a box of their fasteners automatically select the correct torque spec and then store data on how many fasteners were torqued. I bet you could come up with a way for that to pay for itself even at this kind of money.

I have the air version of that guy. Works awesome for the 1000+ Ft Lbs stuff. It made quick work of torquing down track pad bolts

It must come with a large gold bar.
Bought several of the air style from Rad at a previous employer - used for tensioning fasteners on steel bridge girders. Worth every penny when you need tens of thousands of bolts to be in spec.

We have a something similar to that at work for torqueing tower crane section bolts to spec. 36v. $30k purchase price.

Not too samrt
Had a similar air powered one at the wind turbine place I used to work at. Set the right psi and there is your torque spec. Torque arm sure was nice for the 1"+ bolts too. Very cool tool

That price is crazy though. Must be something super gay about that unit.

we use those sometimes at work for torquing up well head equipment. they never seem to hold up to the abuse though. they are a lot faster than a normal hytorque.
If its like the one we used for steel towers It's a gear driven deal and the arm hold it. you preset a value and it repeatedly hits that value every time, And when your doing 100's of them.
