It's like the drills we get with the chuck having many settings to allow it to stop turning at a predetermined torque setting. It's of no use if we set it too high. With the drill being used to drive in screws while drywalling, if the setting is too high, you can drive the screw right through the drywall and into the studs. With the impact wrench set too high, the lugs can be tightened so tight that you better have the Incredible Hulk in the trunk to get them loose!
