Battery powered Impact WRENCH or Impact DRIVER?

Well if you have ever had your tires rotated at a dealer/ shop you can forget about the torque ratings for the lug nuts. My experience is that they use impact wrenches and the torque is way more than spec. Often it is almost double spec. Lug nuts on my fiver are supposed to be torqued to 120 lbs. When I had a blowout one of the lug nuts was almost impossible to remove with the t lug wrench. I had to use almost all of my 230 lb weight to push down and all my strength to pull up on the other side. I will guaranty it was torqued to over 250. Point is, get way more than you think you need unless you do all your own tire changing with a torque wrench. Good luck.

I work at Lowes part-time in the tool dept. and if you are going to use it for wheel lug nuts I would consider the new Kobalt 24 volt impact wrench. BUT you need the highest amp battery in the lineup you may have to buy it separately but it is worth it.
This is a powerful tool.

Since you have a specific torque setting for your truck you need to only verify the ability to reach that. I've got a Dewalt cordless 20 volt driver, but I've never tried to use it to torque or break the lug nuts, it's only a 1/4 inch drive. For Lugs I'd get a cordless torque wrench something with 1/2 " drive. Milwaukee and Dewalt both make them with about 220 ft lb capabilities.

This impact wrench is the one I use, but I have a lot of the tools that use that same battery and charger. It claims 300 ft-lbs of torque.

I have yet to figure out why someone would want to use an impact on their stabilizers. A decent cordless drill will do the job just fine. If the stabilizers are so tight that one would need an impact, that person needs to do some maintenance on their stabilizers.

I just searched Makita and found this 325 ft lb. Now you got me wanting one. :)

OH WAIT! I found this monster. When the stabilizer reaches the end of it's travel it would just rip it right off the rig! lol

I use my Makita drill motor vs the Makita impact. I like the smoothness of the drill vs the slapping or hammering of the impact. Mine is 18 v and 12 years old with half of that time being used while wrenching daily. Makita is excellent. The batteries are just starting to fail now. I have thought about going from air powered 1/2 drive impact to an electric but my wheels are really the only thing I'd use it for or hopefully the only thing as I'm trying to ease the beating on my old body by limiting my wrenching.
