I'm going to be doing a lot of dissassembly over the winter. Many of the bolts I'm working with will not have moved since the day the car left the factory. So far I have been lucky. Only casualties have been bumper bolts and one rotor retainer screw. I've learned that a sharp rap with a hammer on the breaker bar is preferable to just torquing it. I've never worked with air tools but that is basicly what an impact wrench does. So my question is whether or not an impact wrench is the right tool for removing things like exhaust headers. Or is it just too powerful for risky bolts?
