Default 12 volt impact wrench

Anyone tried one of these lighter plug impact wrenches? I got to
change a tire a couple weeks ago, and really coulda used an impact.
But do they do any good, or are they all hype and no torque?

Specifically, don't know, but I would really doubt they have enough
impact/torque to do much good on an over-torqued lug nut (as is usually
the case if a tire shop did it -- seems like they universally just set
their wrenches on "max". ).

I keep a long breakover in the car for the purpose -- I _know_ it will
work when needed...
