I'll bet that was an AIR impact that didn't remove the bolt.
You would be shocked to find out what kind of of grunt a good electric has. They put air impacts to shame.
You want that bolt to come out with no muss or fuss? Use an electric.
That's a very broad generalization, as my electric has 110 ft-lbs and my little consumer IR air has 600... and it really has 600, since I use GuardAir high flow couplers and fittings end-to-end. Air impacts in 3/4 and 1" go well over 1000 ft-lbs... with properly sized tanks and compressors.
I suspect your low opinion of air impacts has to do with air flow. Most consumer air compressor systems are constricted and highly limiting. When I first got my IR it was outperformed by my 18V battery powered impact (sad). Replacing all my constrictive cheap import fittings with GuardAir High Flows fixed that. My tank has two outputs so I was able to retain standard fittings for all my less intensive air tools.

Wow your idea seems so much better than mine. Maybe it's the forcefulness of your presentation!
