Right on. I got the same one.

I have one of these and have found it makes work MUCH faster. You may wanna check it out if you're doing the install yourself.

Thanks for the tip! I will be doing the install on my back

.

I have been doing lots of tool shopping past few days. My garage before yesterday just had a 100 pc tool kit and house remodeling stuff.

Next on list is torque wrench(s) and I'll take a look at your suggestion..do you know model number?

That Dewalt is DCF813S2. Just click on the pic I posted and it'll take you to it on Amazon.

I've worked on cars since I was a kid and have a garage full of tools, you can never have enough LOL

Nice thanks speedy. Is the battery good, or would you recommend a corded one instead? it will never leave the garage FYI

Definitely cordless. I have the one I posted, and a bigger one that's 18V and enough power to zip off lug nuts with ease. I carry my bigger one to the track to make swapping to DRs quick and easy. I have air tools for stubborn bolts, but these cordless ones I use most of the time.

Some wheels they fit some they don't. Just depends on the wheel. For the ones that don't fit you get aftermarket ones.
