I have had great luck with my ryobi 1/2 impact 261 and the stronger 262 model which I recommend. $150 for the 262 tool and for 3 yrs if it breaks drive to HD and swap it out.

The max torque is probably too much for most situations. I live in salt belt so I use a ratchet a lot of the time. Impacts just snap rusted bolts. Get the mid and max I can put lug nuts on with setting 2 and still leave room to torque them the rest of the way. Suspension and chassis stuff it’s ideal, but anything under the hood it’s too bulky. I’m curious how that mid does with lug nuts.

It’s amazing how compact and strong these tools are getting and for sure have become a must have tool.

Just took a wheel off and put it back on, here are the results:-

Lug-Nut Removal
Mode 1 350ft.lbs - Just couldn't undo a nut after 5s
Mode 2 450ft.lbs - Removed nut within 5s
Mode 3 550ft.lbs - Removed nut between 05s and 1.5s
Mode 4 550ft.lbs - Worked as described, undid the nut then backed it out at a good-paced constant speed, nice feature!
Note I did this straight-off without checking the nuts 1st as I didn't want to disturb them, I then torqued them up to 140 and repeated, the was no noticeable difference in tool's operation.

Lug-Nut Tightening
Mode 1 - Tightened to approx. 40ft.lbs
Mode 2 - Tightened to approx. 100ft.lbs
Mode 3 - Didn't try just in case.
Mode 4 - 30ft.lbs Max - Quickly wound the nut in then stopped as soon as it hit 30ft.lbs, again nice feature!

I also undid and exhaust flange nut as in the past these nuts proved very difficult to remove.

I use Snap-On and Milwaukee Fuel and have had great luck with both, have Craftsman and home for light duty stuff, I have a drawer full of nice air tools and rarely use them.
The Milwaukee tri pod light I bought is also really nice and the good thing is can run on a battery of 110 power.

I'll add the light to my wish list
