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) ...

Why the 11pages now, like every other thread about wheel lug torque?
If this is a scintillating subject for some, I feel sorry that your lives are not more exciting!
There really hasn't been a thing in the world I lost sleep over on how I tightened up bolts, and nuts Only thing back in the day I used a torque wrench for was putting an engine back together , tires, hitches , setting up dies in the plant etc , even a length of pipe for a cheater to get those dies tied down to the bed of the press ,so they stayed there .Takes a bit of tonnage to punch a 2" hole in a 1*1/2 steel plate , plus the force on the top die pulling it off. Or to pierce ,and corrugate large culvert plate . The list goes on ,not a torque wrench in sight . I only worked with 90- 1250 ton presses ,and there are much bigger out there.
Do I take the time now on my truck ,and fifth wheel to torque the wheels , Yes I do, but then I got lots of time :)
