I hurt my foot doing the same thing. I broke down and bought a cheap
224-6VGA
CENTRAL PNEUMATIC PROFESSIONAL 1' drive impact wrench from Harbor Freight.
It is less than $200 and came with the bud wheel socket.(You have to buy it
extra) I use it about 2 times a year. They still show online for $175, but
does not come with the socket. They also have an Ingrsoll-Rand for $475 I'm
sure the cheaper one will not last as long, but no more than it is used it
should last a long time
