Larry,
In the trades, there is a type of wrench which is referred to as a
"sluggin'" wrench, because it is designed to be snugged up, pressure put on
the bolt or nut, and struck with a BFH. I've seen them used on steam
locomotives, but probably also on large bolts/nuts in other industries.
Conclusion: Your suggestion is a good one, just don't overdue the hammer
part with a conventional socket. Good way to crack one. Impact socket is
better.
