Same for me , I have managed fine for 40 years of home use with a 1/2" square drive 2 ft bar . and a 350 mn torque wrench for doing up .. In a professional environment when something goes wrong, you can always get a new bolt or have the tools to get around any damage misuse of a power gun causes .
A power gun can cause some big problems when used at home , captive nuts tend to break off in the chassis with the shock loads where they would not with a constant torque from an arm :-) Camshafts ends can break off because cast iron is brittle . and torx and allen headed bolts can round off .
