Dewalt likes to be tricky. They won't tell you how much torque their drills have, it's UWO (unit watts out) which seems like a made up unit of measurement that only they use to avoid apples to apples comparison.
You can find torque ratings easily, they almost always list them in European product literature. No, they don't use it to avoid comparisons, they use it because it is a more accurate description of power. Torque is a function of gearing and a drill rated at lower torque but able to deliver it at higher RPMS means it can deliver more power to the application. I have a 20V impact that can deliver 8,400 in-lbs of torque but it won't drill a 1" hole in a 2x4 any faster than the 1/2" drill/driver will.

I've been going back and forth on the decision to get a battery powered 1/2" impact in addition to the pneumatic one. I already have a 3/8" one that works well. Not even close to as strong as my 3/8" pneumatic, but they are similar in size, and it is very handy.
My biggest gripe with pneumatic is dragging everything out, and the biggest problems with battery-powered stuff are battery life, price, size, and weight.
I've also had to cut new threads in stuff with my air impact, that a battery-powered one probably couldn't do

No you don't, unless you're talking about a wrench and not a driver, but those are rated in ft-lbs and you'd need some kind of chuck adapter to drill with it.
Milwaukee makes the most powerful impact driver I've seen at 1800 in-lbs. You have one almost 5x more powerful?
