Thanks very much for the reply.

I guess part of the issue is that I have no clue how much torque I’ll actually need to get this thing off. I’d get a 120v Impact if I was sure that it was up to the task, but I notice that most electric guns don’t advertise nearly as much max torque as the pneumatic guns. But then again the effectiveness of the pneumatic seems dependent on having a capable compressor.

Can anyone recommend a 120v impact you think is worthwhile?

Part of me feels like the heavy duty 1in breaker bar is the best option, as it ought to be able to deliver higher amounts of torque. (Though infrequently.) Do the repeated right-angle strikes of the impact wrench really make that much of a difference? What if I put an impact socket on a heavy breaker bar?

Thanks again
