Called BS on my buddy's "just buy the impact" advice for months

I was always a hand tool guy for wheel work. Thought impact guns were for lazy techs who didn't care about torque. Then I did 4 tire rotations in a row on a rainy Tuesday at the shop in Nashville. My wrist was killing me by lunch and I still had a brake job to do. Borrowed his Milwaukee 1/2 inch stubby just to try it and man I was wrong. It pulled those rusted lugs off in seconds and I had that brake job wrapped up before 3pm. Anyone else stubbornly stick with hand tools longer than they should have?

Bought mine the same week after telling myself I wasn't a sellout.

Did you also catch yourself muttering "I'm not a sellout" under your breath in the store aisle?
