What do you do when...

[Kurt W. Deschler]

Good point, except with the air chisel you can regulate the amount of
torque very precisely (with you hand) and can work in much tighter spots.
Also, the hammering can be much more aggressive for the amount of torque
being aplied, which can help knock loose stubborn fasteners that may
otherwise break or strip. I do have an impact wrench and I do use it when
I am sure it won't break or strip the bolts. For some large lobs such as
axle nuts, I sometimes find myself standing on a breaker bar and using the
air chisel.
