I've tried about everything I could think of at one time or another. 
Usually, it's my 1/2" Holeshooter, but that's heavy and strugglesome 
on those days when I'm old and tired, which is any day with a vowel 
in it.  I've done a couple in the last two years with an electric 
impact wrench, and I kind of like it. Next one, I'll borrow my son's 
pneumatic and give that a try. Actually, they don't have all that 
much torque. It's the impact that hammers those lug nuts down to the 
equivalent of forge welding, not the torque. Pulling pins with one, 
it starts kind of slow (if the pins are tight), then really whirls 
them out of there once it has the pin moving. Borrow one and give it 
a try. Let me know what you think.
