Agree, sometime a few ways to skin the cat. I like to gently up the size of the tools and its nice to now have next level when its called for.

Nice! I got one of these years ago after an afternoon at Matt De Maria's shop. We were doing something to my car and a bolt was stuck. Like stuck-stuck-f**k-you-I'm-not-coming-out-ever-stuck. It was up from near 20 gal of 93 octane so he didn't want to heat it. He pulled out an air hammer and the SnapOn version of this: https://www.amazon.com/Mayhew-37316-...008M23A5U?th=1.

Put a socket on the end, turned the pressure down so it didn't beat the shit out of the bolt, pulled the trigger and used a wrench to turn the bolt. The bolt released like it was nothing and came right out. I ordered an air hammer and that tool the next day.

How's that work? Sort of of like those impact screwdrivers? Whack and (you) turn at the same time? Having a hard time picturing it.
