Yes i just did mine the other day with an impact... Worked like a charm, just make sure you use a electric impact or turn you air impact on low and the compressor on like 60psi..

You would think an impact gun would snap them right in half!

it doesnt sound that crazy, but i think that worst case scenery you will break some and will have to use the tool....

The gas engine dealers here use this theory and have reported great success.

Makes perfect sense, it was the continuous application of torque that broke my plugs off.
The impact probably shakes up the carbon deposits as well.
