I'll order the drive ratchet and adapter now. Mr Onze said literally the same exact thing with the masking tape.

And I'd prefer a gun just to be on the safe side so I can take tires off over the winter if needed. lugs are usually rusted on from all the salt. But why not use an impact? As long as you thread carefully and don't push, they're fine.

lol u got at 1/4" drive impact?

wat's the inch/ft? probably wont even come close to loosening your rusted nuts. you'll need something more in the 200lbs/ft+ range for that.

btw, my dd sits in the salt all winter long. ive never had to use an impact wrench to loosen the lugs.

Yea. I noticed that. I got it mainly for the drill. That impact driver i can use for other things. I may get a real impact wrench next. 90% of the time, the lugs come off no problem. But I've had a few stubborn wheels over the years make me suffer.

Debating on a cordless impact wrench or getting a $150 compressor and goign that route. The compressor would come in handy just for simply refilling tires.

yah, the drill (driver) is very useful to unwind/wind loose lugs while you are doing the wheel swap. i use it that way. i just use a hex to 3/8" driver adapter and use my 3/8" deep sockets. but the initial loosening and the tightening, i do by hand.

i too use milwaukee tools. that and a makita. also a small panasonic driver for my rc tool box.

for heavy duty work though you'll probably want a corded impact if going electric.

Oh yea. I wouldn't be using the impact to do the whole process. I'd break and torque the lugs first with a ratchet. Hence the new torque wrench i ordered. The impact would just come in handy making the process quicker instead of making sure the car is heightened enough to allow a wrench to fully rotate.

My grandfather used Milwaukee and he swore by them. So it just seemed natural. Plus they look badarse.

but i break loose the lugs while the car is still on the ground.. you dont want to be forcing the lugs loose while on your jack cause you can potentially knock the car off the jack.

might want to read up on how to properly do wheel changes or something.

yah, milwakee tools kicksarse.
