I have one of the Harbor Freight 3/4" drive impact wrenches that sell for not
much money. It has taken off everything I've set it to with ease, but you have
to have adequate pressure and delivery of air through a large enough hose to get
it to work at those higher torque ranges. What runs a 1/2" impact wrench won't
cut it with the 3/4" wrench. FWIW.
