Your problem is you are probably using an impact driver numbers vs impact wrench. Even compact battery impact wrenches can get over 300 ft-lbs of breakaway torque. The beefiest consumer cordless can get over 1000. That’ll rip those lug nuts right off.
They have a huge lineup of tools, some corded, some air, and then the battery lineup.
Probably something for everyone.
I think at those torque levels the hit of impact doesn’t matter, because its not doing an impact to try to torque a resistive nut, there will be a bracket that touches the workpiece to resist the 11000 counter torque.

You can get 11000 ftlbs in a battery handheld. www.radtorque.com/products/b-rad-x/

Ha, I haven’t seen these, the Torque Test Channel needs one!
Looks like a standard drill/driver with a torque multiplier bolted to it. I wonder what that does to the impact force?
The harder the hit the better generally, but cordless sometimes substitutes speed of hits, these multipliers would slow that way down.
