True, and at least some of them are sold by HF ! I have a high-torque
impact wrench from them that can twist off a 3/8" wheel stud if you try ...
which is exactly why you want a lower torque wrench for changing tires!
Then there's the 3/4" drive impact wrench from HF ($45 on sale) ... which I
haven't tried yet because I've yet to find a bolt or nut that the high
torque 1/2" drive one won't turn (or round <g>).
