Air ratchet finally gave out on a rusty exhaust job yesterday

I was under a 2004 F-150 at my buddy's shop in Tulsa when my old Ingersoll Rand air ratchet just stopped spinning mid-bolt. Didn't even have the torque to break a 15mm nut loose after 10 years of loyal service. Anyone got a recommendation for a cordless ratchet that can handle Midwest rust?

Honestly, it gave out mid-bolt? That's brutal, like it just quit on you mid-swing.

Wonder if it was a manufacturer defect or just bad luck with a loose screw nobody caught.
