Looking for a good and reasonably priced cordless impact gun or kit, to remove and replace lug nuts as well as other things.

Looking for both 1/2 and 3/8ths sizes

Got a dewalt at work , we use on water main work has held up great for a couple of years for the conditions it’s in (thrown around in the dirt and in the rain at times).

There was a huge discussion on this subject over on the bullet.

I have been very happy with my Milwaukee both at home and the track

Just got a Milwaukee M18 with 1400 FPT better that air at Home Depot was on sale.

I have a Ryobi where the batteries interchange with my other cordless tools. I don't use it a lot, mostly for the race car or trailer. In the shop I use air.

I have a Ryobi also. You can find it for $100 with battery and charger.

I can do all 6 trailer wheels off and on with a single battery. Torqued at 115, 8 per wheel. Good enough for me, especially for the price.

I have a 20v 1/2" dewalt that works good. also have a 3/8 dewa;t that's ok my my 3/8 Ingersol rand is much stronger then he dewalt

Got Milwaukee m18 3/8 stubby. The thing is tiny and incredible. 250 ft lbs. Has different settings to prevent breaking. Love it.

Bought the 3/8 90 degree, similar to air ratchet. Between both I got three batteries as the stubby came with two and three ratchet another.

Compared them to snapon... And couldn't justify the extra. Few years back I bought another big air compressor for my other garage... Wish I wouldn't have with these tools.

Milwaukee

I just picked up a Milwaukee M18 Fuel 2861 mid-torque wrench. This is in between the new stubby series and the large 1400 ft/lb models.

I got it to take in the truck in case I need to change a tire on the side of the road. This one has a rated 600 ft/lbs of break away torque.

I also plan to get a 3/8" stubby M12 but with the videos I saw it took too long to remove larger truck lug nuts.

I have 3/8 drive dewalt its nice. I am looking to get bigger one for wheels and such. Good post and gave me cpl to look into I had not considered. Cheap scares ma most the time.

Kobalt 24v Max. Good reviews, inexpensive batteries.

The best part is you put a charger in the trailer and you have 1 style battery for your impact,drill,sawzall and a tire inflator you can carry in the car.

Do you have the P261 model impact? Will it remove truck lug nuts torqued to 125 ft lbs?

I'll ck the # of mine but it buzzes off the lug nuts on my 5/8 studs torqued that tight.

I have several brands at work- Mikita, Dewalt, Snap on, Ryobi & Milwaukee. For the $$ ryobi is hard to beat, Milwaukee is good also.

Milwaukee M18 3/8" I also bring to the track my M blower, B/t radio, 1/4" driver,1/2" drill, flashlight,5" grinder & sawzall

I have a 20V Dewalt 1/2". With a charged 5AH battery it will remove nuts that my 1/2" air impact can't. Also have a 1/4" hex driver that uses same battery, I use a 3/8" adapter to use sockets. So far it has twisted off 3'8" Gr.5 bolts. Like these tools. JB

we just got the 20v earthquake from harbor freight. 1100 ft/lb of breakaway strength. nice tool to remove nuts and bolts. non-adjustable torque so we dont assemble with it. rich
