Off topic:
You know that on civilian vehicles you're not supposed to use impact guns on the lug nuts either? At least if you're not using a torque stick (and even then, it's technically good practice to use a torque wrench afterwards).
Otherwise one risks warped brake rotors/drums an/or broken/bent/stripped lug nuts/studs/bolts. Not to be a so called torque nazi, but impact guns can really mess a lot of things up when used to torque things down. They're better suited for
removing fasteners (especially rusty stuck ones).
