You are supposed to push/pull on it just like a regular ratchet wrench to loosen the fastener and then pull the trigger to zip it out the rest of the way. For that 35 ft-lbs should be more than sufficient unless the threads are really buggered or loctited. Too much more than that and you risk having the tool turn and smashing your knuckles when you pull the trigger.
Any powered ratchet, like maybe the cheap ones others have suggested, that says not to use it manually isn't worth it's weight in fiberglass reinforced plastic. Here's the owner's manual [thdstatic.com] for the 2457-20 and I don't see such a prohibition from Milwaukee.

Anyway, before I purchased this, I saw it as a throwaway tool, redundant and would see as much use as might other right-angle power tools. Probably something I ended up purchasing because I could've returned for a lower price on another item but was lazy or whatever. I can't explain it but having this, an impact, and a hand tool sitting near me under or inside a vehicle, this gets reached for the most. Or perhaps, sees the most RPMs 😉
Now it makes me want one of the "reach" ones, ideally a low-profile passthrough one if they weren't so expensive. No, you can't break most fasteners with it, but when you have like a 2-inch throw (forgive my improper jargon, I don't talk about this stuff usually) then you don't want have to take all day loosening with a ratchet. I realize it is an unreasonable peeve to have but it drives me nuts, so to speak.
