Don't have any personal experience, but previous discussions on other lists 
have had several people talking about these 12v impact wrenches.  here's 
one: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=92349 
not as cumbersome as an X-Wrench and I'm told the torque is impressive.  The 
ad says 150 #'s.

YMMV
