Don't agree there I'm afraid.
I've got a mains powered one at 450Nm that I've broken many rusty old Peugeots with now, only ever come across one crank pulley bolt it couldn't shift, but I couldn't shift it manually with huge extension bars either so something odd happened there lol. Does everything I ask, wheel bolts, hub nuts, crank pulley (usually lol), flywheel bolts, suspension and steering bolts. There's nothing tighter than 400Nm on a normal road car that I can think of. Only issue you may find with a battery one of 'low' torque is that the max torque only lasts a short while until the battery starts draining.
I have a Ryobi drill and jigsaw (they're part of the 'use the same battery' thing) and tbh they're useless. Much rather have a corded one and a 50 metre extension.
