I probably have the same unit type unit and yes it is powerful. (450ft Lbs) The knock off torque is outstanding. The new ones are bad ass. 750ft Lbs
I had mine before I bought my M20 Milwaukee gear or I would have bought their bare impact, still might. The M20 has more removal torque but not as strong on knock off.
I bought a couple of green no name DC 12V corded impacts back at what is now Cummins Tools on 291 back when I was redoing houses in Fort Osage area and keep one of those in the daily drivers. They put out about 230-250 as I recall.
I raise holy ****ing hell if an impact goes anywhere near my wheels other than to loosen the nuts. Just like you I've had nuts that wouldn't budge (using the above) on steel wheels and it's always at 3 am on a rain/ snowy night with passengers.
