Tire/wheel change on the road
Acme Tools, has this M-18 FUEL™ & M12 FUEL™ Mid-Torque & Ratchet Combo Kit for $379. Seems like a really good price, question is would this impact driver be a good choice to carry for my truck (3500) ...

My 3500 lug nut spec is 140 ft-lbs. Nuts are easy to remove if torqued correctly to begin with. I use a Proto 6014 250 ft-lb torque wrench which is long so I use it to break the nuts and retorque correctly. Tire shops almost always over torque the fastener. Best when you get home from the shop is to loosen the fasteners and tighten correcty so you won't have issues on the road.
Sorry, I didn't bother to look up your suggested items.
I would never use a torque wrench to loosen a fastener I could think of no better way to mess up the calibration of the wrench!
I carry a 24” breaker bar, but also have a pneumatic impact wrench along with a VIAIR on board air with a 2.5 gallon tank.
