Like I said before, it not really an impact like you have with a gun. This "impact" functions more as a knuckle saver. You still break and tighten fasteners the old fashioned way, then use the air function as a nut runner.
EDIT: Like the torque limiter on a cordless drill/screwdriver. It clicks when your torque limit is reached. It functions more like that than an actual impact although it does have some limited impact action.
