A word of warning:  I used to work with a fellow back in the day, who 
used a 3/8" impact to remove spark plugs (from aluminum heads).  In 
almost every case, the plug would come out of the hole spinning and 
wobbling to the point that he would screw up the last couple of threads 
in the hole.  Do that enough times, and you've made a problem for yourself.

If you must use a power tool, invest in a 3/8" air ratchet.  It doesn't 
develop the thread-killing rotational speed of an impact wrench, but 
saves your wrists from working.
