They waste the excess torque by twisting I believe.  Also... I realise
this is *not* a legitimate answer, but a lot of time spent with an
impact wrench gives you a pretty good "feel" for what it is doing.

Each individual pulse of the impact gun is pretty small, just ask
Brendan how it felt being the "vise" while I undid his cam sprocket
bolt!
