"Don't use a impact wrench on a spring compressor! You are limited to applying not more torque than you can using a long-handled (presumably using a six point) socket wrench."

Really? I have never read this before. I have used my cheapie $20 compressors on at least 15 sets of struts at this point, and since I've owned air tools I always compress with the impact gun. Just did last night, in fact. Having done it enough times manually and my arm being totally tired out afterwards, I love having the impact gun to do it. How is that inherently more dangerous than the already dangerous compressors?

Just curious . . .
