No need to weld, drill two holes in a "thing" to fit over two lugs, piece of pipe, bar stock, etc. Drill to fit the lug nut so you don't bugger the threads, and snug it down to normal torque spec.
Most modern 1/2 air impacts have serious torque, 700 ftlbs is common, 3/4 is more like a 1000 ftlbs, but I suspect they will get most people into trouble isn't needed often enough for most to own one. 1/2 is small enough to get used most of the time, unless you have a "good" 3/8 which these days has enough torque to suit most jobs and is lighter and smaller.
Harbor Freight Earthquake is both cheap and powerful.
Problem with a breaker bar is that most have WAY too much flex so that hitting one with a hammer is almost useless. Better to use a shorter slug wrench.
