And for DIY, that thing is completely useless. You can jack the car up in 3-4 pumps with an $80 floor jack from Harbor Freight that weighs 40 lbs

Well, IMO it's not completely useless (but real close) and I hate how tough it gets to rotate it once there's weight on it (my shoulders are shot and I find it tough) and the handle pops out of the eye too easy. The idea to put a nut in place of the eye and using an electric impact on it is brilliant, but I would worry that I'd have to pack an extra wrench or the impact around if I could no longer use the crappy handle. You never know when you'd get stuck somewhere.
Maybe if the nut put on in place of the eye was the size of the OEM lug wrench it'd work, but I'd need to slip a cheater on the lug wrench handle for more leverage.
