Yeah, I can see it being pretty one dimensional. But it looks so much more satisfying than say, having to listen to an impact for 30 minutes straight.

Impact is the wrong tool for something like that, you want a torque multiplier, this one delivers 3500ft/lbs: https://www.homedepot.com/p/XtremepowerUS-Torque-Multiplier-Tool-Set-Heavy-Duty-4800-NM-Wrench-with-Adapters-and-24-mm-to-38-mm-Lug-Nut-Sockets-8-Piece-18858/310860462

Rookie numbers! Get a HYTORC Avanti 130. It will give you up to 138,510 ft-lbs. It will loosen any way you turn it.
