[Shop-talk] Impact wrenches (heavy duty)

[eric at megageek.com]

Ok,  I know this is a new religious topic here, but I'm looking for a tool 
recommendation.  Stay with me.


 So I ended up buying a new (to me) dump body F350 with a powerstroke 
diesel. It only had one owner, and was well maintained (he gave me every 
single record for it.)

So I am starting to do my "once over" before I put it in service.  One of 
the thing is removing the wheels and checking the brakes.  Well, the 
mechanic that did this last had a really HD torque wrench.  I managed to 
eventually get every nut off, but it made it clear that I need a more 
powerfully impact wrench.

So I come to the experts.  I'm looking for a heavy duty air impact wrench. 
 I prefer 1/2, but I'm willing to listen to any advice on moving up to 
3/4.

I'm looking for a tool to use when my 'normal' impact can't handle to job, 
so it will not be used a ton.

Any ideas?  Price isn't much of a concern as it seems even the top end 
ones aren't outrageous.  (Note- I'm not a Snap on junkie that likes over 
priced brand names.)
