I got one of these,

I don't worry about tough nuts.
When things get real tough this never fails.

It took two people pulling as hard as we could on a 4 foot breaker bar to get mine out. An impact would make it pretty easy as long as you don't shatter a socket.

When I removed mine, I couldn't budge it with a 4 ft cheater. But if you put pressure on the nut using the cheater, then knock on the socket with a hammer, it breaks right loose. Almost works as well as an impact, just not as fast.

Redneck impact!
