When I graduated from high school I was honored to share a very prestigious award along with my Plymouth Trouble Shooting Contest partner, Mike Devlin, as being the top mechanics in the senior class auto shop class. He got to go to a trade school for 6 weeks while I got a nearly new electric impact wrench from the local Ford dealer.
I've used it when rotating tires many a time. I would always loosen the nuts first by hand though, never with the impact. Putting them on would be the same, run 'em down with the wrench but tighten with a torque wrench.
It has only been in the last few years since I've aged considerably, that I've come to really appreciate the true value of that award.
