Seconded. I had a 1/2" IR thundergun that couldn't loose even half the
rusted out lugs on my brother's truck. Me and him standin' on a 6' steel
pipe slipped over a 1/2" cheater bar, well, that's 1500+ foot-pounds. Ain't
a 1/2" impact gun out there that'll match that (Thundergun was about
500ft/lbs as I recall). They came right off. All but the one that broke, of
course...
