You use these tools like you would use a regular non-powered ratchet by pushing/pulling on it to break the fastener loose, then you squeeze the trigger to zip it the rest of the way out. It only needs enough torque to overcome the friction and gunk on the threads.
In comparison, the VERY popular Milwaukee M12 [homedepot.com] version of this tool is 35 ft-lbs and 250rpm.
The biggest drawback of this Ryobi version is the size of the battery hanging off the end may prevent you from getting it into tight spots. Being able to rotate the head might help with that, but will then put the trigger in a potentially awkward location.
Edit: I should mention, the ONLY thing that annoys me is the direction selector on the back of the head is so small. It is difficult at times and impossible with gloves (for me). I still love having the tool and use it a lot.

Are these specs inadequate for typical uses of the tool? Is it something that would let me down for average work around an engine?
The Husky goes on sale for around $50 and comes with sockets and a hard case.
The Ryobi has interchangeable batteries. Both have around the same torque.
Husky looks like a "smaller" tool.
EDIT
eh, an impact driver with a right-angle attachment (which I already have) can do whatever a cordless ratchet can do and with more torque.
Unless you're working in 'really' tight spaces and/or with delicate machinery I see no special use for a cordless ratchet.
