That could be normal, really. When the impact is hitting resistance
it turns very slowly.
Normally removing a stuck bolt with an impact is a second or
so of vibration with little movement, and then ZIIIIIIIIING it
comes all the way out as soon as it's free. The "free" speed
is very high.

The air ratchets generally don't have a lot of torque. Maybe
50psi? The tools likely came with at least one sheet that
has some specs.
