    extended anvils

    What is the point of buying an impact gun with a 3" or 6" anvil rather than the standard anvil? Would it be better to just buy a standard anvil and an extension set? I only plan on buying one impact so I want to weigh out the options. :beer:

    I have a lot or combo wrenches but it seems that I don't use the open ends unless it is absolutely necessary. Does anybody else feel the same way or am I crazy?
