I have to agree that 250ft/lbs is not much good for anything. I have a 1/2 inch drive Craftsman impact this is 250ft/lbs rated and I was very frustrated with because it wouldn't loosen anything that was really tight. I ended buying a slightly used 1/2 inch drive IR 2131QT that's rated at 600ft/lbs and after almost four years of use I am still very happy with it.. There is not much this thing wouldn't break free.
I'd look for an impact wrench with the highest ft/bls rating that is within your budget.
Good Luck.
