The impact though, by it's action, often breaks fewer things than a
hand tool would.
The hand tool will allow you to apply force in a way that you reach
the elastic limit of the piece, exceed it, and then shear it off.
Though the impact applies a good amount of force, it does so in tiny
blasts and then the part is loose again to spring back to the unstressed
position.
Rather than turning the bolt head 30 degrees and snapping it, it
turns it 5 degrees, releases, 5 degrees, releases, over and over again,
until it lets go or you give up.

Perhaps you are using = instead of EQ to compare values.
