Lug nuts stuck
Trying to get left rear duallies off to work on brakes. Using a cheater bar, I busted the truck wrench that came with the RV. I about to call a local truck place and see what they would charge to com...

I have a few (almost all of them) shock bolts that my pneumatic impact won't loosen. I don't recall what kind it is (similar to a Campbell Hausfield) but knowing me when I bought it I didn't spend a lot of money on it. I'll guess a quoted 250 ft-lbs @ 90 psi.
So I'm faced with taking the moho to a truck shop and giving them my green or buying a better tool for the job. I hate being beaten, I'm leaning the latter.
I looked at the Harbor-Freight electric varieties. I don't think 230 ft-lbs will do the job, especially when ALL the specs I'm looking at are best case scenarios.
Milwaukee Electric seem to be overpriced for the ft-lbs they deliver. 300 ft-lbs @ $179
DeWalt DW292 / DW293 electrics have 345 ft-lb in a price point I can sit down with, barely. $139 Amazon
Craftsman 9-19984 pneumatic is quoting 580 ft-lbs (I hope that's at 90 psi) on Amazon for $110. I'm guessing that's enough for any frozen bolt.
Ingersoll-Rand 2135TiMAX pneumatic is porking out at 750 ft-lbs. The price porks out too at $259. Might do more damage than good with this one?
Also, the wheel lugs seem to be a loose fit for 7/8" socket (2002 Ford F53 chassis). Could these be metric?
Electric impact would be more convenient. For $30 less I get 235 more ft-lbs of torque and more confidence in getting the job done. I just need to haul the compressor from the basement.
1 1/8" socket, don't know the bolt size without crawling back under. Is 580 ft-lbs enough for rusted suspension bolts?
