It's a thought.... but it's only partly the size of their impact.  The other
half is that their impact, although it grips the lug nuts, is just starting
to take the corners off of them.  So if that one takes them off, it just
seems like a bigger one might just take the corners off faster...  it might
be worth a shot though.

Thanks,
Ryan
