I'm not trying to revive the tools thread from a few months ago, but I've
been eyeing a few electric impacts ($49 and $79) from Harbor Freight.
Claims 240 ft-lb, fwd/rev, torque settings.  Some of the BMW digest guys
even admit to owning HF stuff - wrenches and that darned aluminum jack.

I know, I know.  The thing will snap off bolt heads or fry on me, leaving
me with a big PITA.  But hey, it'd only be used a few times a year.
