It's been mentioned here before. Looking to get one for lugs on flat tires.
Torque needed?
Power?
Brand?
Thanks.

Unless a 12 volt supply wasn't near, I think I would get a 12 volt that can be plugged in to a car battery,
Doesn't need to be charged up, and probably more power.
Had a buddy had one for his Jeep then he got a drill chuck that fit. Two tools in one.

At home I have an air one, an electric one and I carry a 12 volt one in the vehicle, actually used it on a hunt to swap a guys atv tires around as they were in the wrong position, kinda handy

Thank me later. lol Huh? On a screw Jack (or scissor jack) a cordless drill or impact makes the job of raising and lowering the vehicle fast and nearly effortless. I recall a 12vt corded impact being quite useful for lug nuts as well.

Thank me later. lol Huh? Get a second socket so you can use the cordless to raise and lower the vehicle if it has a screw jack. A 6 point works well enough but a square socket works best. The lug socket works to raise and lower the tire if it is on a cable. Get a real 1/2 inch cordless. 18 volt at least.

Mine was stolen a few years ago, but I think it came from J.C. Whitney catalog.

I have a craftsman, I'll check the model tomorrow, that has been great on truck and trailer lug nuts. It's never failed, even on some corroded saltwater trailer lug nuts. Might be my favorite tool!
It was fairly cheap to.

Picked up a Ryobi at Home Depot a couple of years ago... 18V, has given real good service...
I like that Idea of using it on a scissor jack...
I usually break the lugs with a breaker bar first... saves wear and tear on the Ryobi...

When I die I hope I don't start voting democrat.

I have a 19.5 craftsman impact wrench that has lots of power. It will loosen and remove the rear lugs on my 150 Massey Ferguson tractor. Admittedly not all of them on one battery, but several. I have an inverter and just take my charger when traveling, and a spare battery. The chargers now work very fast. Should mention that it is a 1/2 drive. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.
