There are hex drive to 1/4 in. bits available for those type of impacts, then you could use adapters up to 3/8. Should be able to get one at a hardware store of Home Depot/Lowes. I have an 18V Dewalt with that drive that I am going to try. I don't know if that will have the torque required or not as I haven't done any plugs yet. But if you can get the adapter its worth a shot unless someone else has tried with less than stellar results. Just thought I would throw that in there.

I used a Dewalt cordless impact and a 1/4'' hex to 3/8'' socket on my plugs.
I started with a hot motor, and hit the trigger in the forward then reverse and didn't stop till i felt the plug spin freely. The back two i had to break loose with a ratchet then put the impact on them, and they came out fine, i didn't have one plug break.
I had 104k on my truck, so i would recommend the impact meathod.
