I have a rigid that came in a 2 in 1 deal with a drill was about 270 for both. The adapter is a Milwaukee. I used the adapter to do my control arms and then snapped it on the last one.

I've been doing that using a giant breaker bar then hitting it with the driver.

I ended up buying a rigid 1/2 impact wrench.

Look for some Impact specific adapters or switch to a bigger impact that has a 1/4 inch end or 1/2 inch end.

I just bought this
