Tried swapping my breaker bar for a Harbor Freight impact wrench on rusty truck bolts

I spent 3 hours fighting a stuck leaf spring bolt on my '84 F150 last Saturday with a breaker bar and some PB Blaster. Finally borrowed a buddy's Chicago Electric impact wrench and that bolt came loose in under 10 seconds. Has anyone else had a cheap tool totally change how fast they can tear down a project?

A $30 impact wrench did that?! That's wild honestly (I've been using my grandpa's old Snap-On that probably cost more than my truck). Now I'm questioning every hour I spent crying over rusted bolts with a breaker bar.

Who knew a cheap tool could save that much knuckle skin, right?
