Hi (another very off topic), Wheel bolts on my VW are seized pretty hard. Standing on 24in breaker bar doesn't help, and that's 300ft-lb torque. So, I'm thinking about getting an impact wrench. Those with greater than 300ft-lb are very expensive. I found one with 250ft-lb spec at my price range. Question is, is there difference between static torque vs impact torque? In other words, will 250ft-lb impact wrench loosen 300ft-lb bolt? Browsing YouTube, I learned that torque specs are always misleading and inflated. This means, I have to find 600ft-lb or greater, and that's serious money.
