I agree with Kevin and Otto, I always hand tighten to final torque whatever that may be?
Also make sure the threads and nut faces are lubed. I know the race car pit crew have their impacts calibrated to a certain air pressure and torque.
But that don't apply to us. Yes spin them on with a impact till they touch, then either hand tighten or use a torque wrench to the final torque.
Never hammer down with a impact because you really don't know what torque it is at!
