Good luck with it.

I have a cheapo half inch impact that does pretty well at tightening but for some reason won't loosen worth a crap. Doesn't make sense.

Strange thing is, I also have a 110 half inch impact wrench that I completely forgot about. They say memory's the second thing to go and I forget what the first one is. I too worried about the skinnied up wall on the big socket.

I may try it if the next solution doesn't work.

That's a good link, BTW. Has a number of good bits of info. I searched but didn't find that one.
