I'm curious what a "Standard" impact gun is? I've never found anything that I couldn't screw into with my Makita. I just did some 8 inch structural screws with it yesterday.
I've never installed 2 inch oak, so I'm surprised that your impact gun struggled. Good thing you have the half inch impact, that looks like a really useful tool!!!The smaller one on the left works for a few screws, but 300+, not so much. Luckily I had a T30 socket drive and adaptor, so the 1/2" impact on the right worked great.
This is off topic a little but I really enjoy my 1/2" impact. The battery lasts forever (well just about) and you can take them anywhere. Every farmer around here has one. You can run out to your center pivot and remove the flat tires 8 rusty bolts and install a replacement without fighting with the rusty bolts.I've never installed 2 inch oak, so I'm surprised that your impact gun struggled.

Good idea!For your ramp, good luck. It is going to feel steep. No problem for walking, or a capable 4 wheeler, but.
Your could consider copying what I did on the one side of my bridge that needed a ramp also - cut into the poles and have part of the ramp with your wood decking. In my case it lowered my ramp needs about 6", which if you think about a 12' long ramp, is actually a LOT of dirt saved.
