Most bench top machines do not have enough torque to even justify using a impact wrench to tighten the draw bar to begin with (way too much torque). Even with running a 1 1/2" carbide flywheel cutter on my X2, I can still get the draw bar tight enough by just holding the spindle/tool alone to while hand wrenching the draw bolt. On collects, I just grab the spindle alone for the last bit of tightening.
