Ok. I've got a craftsman cordless 1/2 in impact wrench. Is this acceptable to use on spline lug nut on my method wheels?

I've seen some opinions that impact wrenches should not be used.

I use impacts all the time on spline lugs they do just fine, (even better than the crappy oem capped lugs IMO) But just like any other lugs, don't just keep hammering away at them, snug em down good, and then get your torque wrench out and bring em to spec.

Thanks for reminding me. Need to put the torque wrench in the new truck.
