I'm getting to be a little too old to use a star wrench on my lug nuts, and I don't want to spend hundreds/thousands of dollars on air tools and their accoutrement, so I'm looking for a viable electric impact wrench that can loosen lug nuts that are torqued to 100 ft/lb.

I've read that cordless wrenches can chew threw a battery in just one use (four tires), so a corded wrench would be okay, or even preferred.

Can anyone recommend one? I'm capable of finding the various models available, but I'm looking for real-world "I bought one and it sucks/rocks" opinions.

Thanks in advance.

 

I have the craftsman electric impact wrench. I have had it for well over 8yrs and it has been faithfull. I use it all the time, I have a spare set of wheels for my explorer with winter tires on them so every fall/spring I do the change over. also every oil change I rotate the tires on the truck and wifes car. Great tool and the price isn't bad also the dewalt is a great one, iether would serve you well.

Many thanks. I'll check them out.

 

I use Makita electric impacts. Really a great tool. Dewalt makes a good one too.
