Hi Brad,

I've read several of the "poor man" impacts and while they sound good the
theory is wrong.  An impact wrench pushes IN on the bolt/nut question.  A
sharp rap on the end of a wrench just adds more torque.  The impact relieves
the tension between the threads and allow the bolt/nut to unscrew
