[Roadsters] impact wrench

[Gary and Cindy Ault]

Larry,

In the trades, there is a type of wrench which is referred to as a 
"sluggin'" wrench, because it is designed to be snugged up, pressure put on 
the bolt or nut, and struck with a BFH.  I've seen them used on steam 
locomotives, but probably also on large bolts/nuts in other industries. 
Conclusion:  Your suggestion is a good one, just don't overdue the hammer 
part with a conventional socket.  Good way to crack one.  Impact socket is 
better.
