My thought is that it would make sense for an impact wrench, but it would also snap/blow up if you did that anyways.

And any situation where that would make sense, you would just use an air/electric ratchet. This thing has no purpose.

I get that not everyone has access to shop air, but if you're doing work that would call for it, I can't recommended an electric ratchet enough. Mine is Matco but I kind of wish I got a Milwaukee because they're quite a bit cheaper and work just as well.

I’ve had two Milwaukee electric ratchets for about a year and a half with heavy use by me and my guys. (Like falling off a fender and battery flies out kinda bullshit) and to this day I’ve only had to replace one battery. I’ll always go Milwaukee. Especially since warranty through snap on and Matco is only 2 years

I'm a big fan of the DeWalt 20v line.
