Hi Dan,
I used to do that too, but then I got an old Skil 1/2" drive pneu rattle wrench with impact bits that I grind to fit. I can lean really hard on that gun and then tap-tap-tap on the slow trigger setting and walk them out - quicker than the hub can turn .... but I am saving that one for the next installment of "Stuck Fasteners."
