You should see the new 20v Dewalt DCF-900 impact.  Over 800ft-lbs in a
1/2-inch impact.  Best you can buy right now.  I have used it to remove the
lug nuts from a tandem axle dump truck.  I have yet to encounter ANYTHING
that I could not get loose with it.  Including the axle shackles that broke
the bolts rather than come loose.  Seriously this thing isa BEAST!
