Fuhell no haha I *have* used it (and other pneumatic impacts) to remove lugs but it's rare and when I'm really not feeling putting the effort into using a breaker bar. As far as installing lugs, I thread them on by hand, and if an impact happens to be extremely handy, I'll turn the air all the way down or whatever, spin them till they're barely seated, and torque them the rest of the way by hand.

I don't trust torque sticks.

I do it all the time (but tighten with torque wrench). What danger will befall me?

Sheared studs worst case.
