[Shop-talk] removing studs quickly

I need to strip a dozen  aluminum heads for the scrap drive.

I use a socket style stud remover with jaws inside to unscrew the 20 
or so studs in each head.

but, they require a hand ratchet, impact gun "bounces" or wibbles 
back and forth and releases the jaws , so the socket just spins.


what can I use for a power tool that maintains constant pressure?

I have some electric drills, but they dont have enough torque to spin 
out the studs, unless i pre-loosen them with the ratchet.


thanks
