Default High impact torque wrench for centerlocks?

Has anyone used one of these for the centerlocks? Seems like you could loosen with a breaker bar followed by one of these for removal. You cold retorque with this up to 525 ft lbs and then use a hand operated to get the rest of the way. Not worth it given that it doesn't torque to 600ft lbs?

I think the C/L torque spec is 600Nm. So this is strong enough, although I don't think our hubs would like the pounding. Also how accurate can it be? Allan

Oops- yes it should be enough torque at 440 ft lbs (600nm). My bad! In that case it could replace the breaker bar and the torque wrench. Wonder if anyone has tried this? I think accuracy would be good.

From the Suncoast page for the centerlock removal tool:

"Note: Do not use with impact wrench, to be used with a standard type wrench. "
