That's why they make the 1/2" set. It usually doesn't make sense to make larger than 19mm with 3/8.
Not ready to buy a full 1/2" impact socket set yet, but I do have a 1/2" breaker & torque wrench now, so I'll probably get one eventually now. HF at least carried single 1/2" 21mm impact sockets.

I know Torque Test Channel has pushed 3/8" ratchets into the 200s ft-lbs but that was testing catastrophic destruction, and a 90 ft-lb lug nut could easily need 50-100% more than that to break free. 1/2" square drive is double the cross sectional area of 3/8" (which is double 1/4").
Once you crack it loose on the ground and raise the car, you can spin it off with a 3/8 impact or even one of those little 1/4 drive impact drills.
May not kill a 3/8" right away, but I wouldn't want to make a practice of it unless I had a backup handy.
Only complaint so far is the unnecessarily large top of the blow-molded case. Wastes a lot of space.
