^^ good info everyone of those statements is true. I'm the same way, if for some reason i take my car to a shop i sit there and watch to make sure they don't use an impact to put the lugs back on. When i was in school (UTI) we actually did a test, and yes impact guns can and will warp the rotors even if they are not on their highest settings. Sometimes it warped them so bad they could not even be turned in a lathe, they had to be replaced.
