With an impact it acts as a long torsion spring, so the head flexes the shaft, but none of the impact is applied to the socket end. Hand you can wind to compensate for it, but the impact only acts to turn in small increments, so if the flex is such that it cannot click to the next position it will simply wind up and release the energy every cycle, and not apply to the driven end. Torque is still the same, just that the impacts that are applied are damped down in flexing the shaft. Using long ones, and a deeply buried socket, I have gotten to a quarter turn of flex, before the bolt actually got enough torque on it to break loose.

Rags are cheaper than washing and drying them, as there is a lot of old clothing that gets cut up to make rags from the garment trade, who want to move stuff that only is used 4 or 5 times before being discarded, because "fashion" demands it.

@derekhobbs1102 Normally those go for either incineration or into a hazardous waste dump. The oil filters would have been crushed for the steel content, and the oil collected for disposal. Rags simply baled up and either burnt with other waste, or buried in the dump as a bale.
