I always seem to just grab the biggest impact wrench I can, but sometimes that's not what's needed. For smaller jobs that require as much torque as possible, the M12 Ratchet really shines. With 60 ft-lbs of torque depending on size, it should speed up the process of getting the bolt threaded and torqued, including the ones on those darn Corvette headers. They make 7 of these things in various sizes and lengths. I think this one would be my 3rd choice.
My order of purchase would likely be: 1/4" Fuel Extended, 3/8" Fuel Extended, this 1/2" Fuel Ratchet, 1/4" Fuel Ratchet, and finally the 3/8" Fuel Ratchet. I know many like the regular, non-fuel version due to the smaller head size, but I never find myself using those.
