I have a 1/2" breaker bar with a two-foot handle that I slide a 30-inch
long piece of 1 1/2" waterpipe over and then add a four-foot piece of 3"
pipe.  Takes most of my 200+ pounds to break the bolt loose.   Here's my
set-up at work on my 200q20v:

my impact on bolts/nuts I want to reuse.   The impact is a 3/4 drive CP.
I tried it on the 200.  It wouldn't do the job with 125 psi air.  I'd have
to drag out my compressor that gets to 180 psi.
