Impact Wrench recommendation for changing tires
 

Will be changing my wheels over to steel wheels/winters in a few weeks... looking to make things easier on myself and get an impact wrench that will handle the job perfectly. Looking for 1/2" electric drive if I can find one, for around $100 or less...

Any recommendations?

I'd only be using it to remove the alloys and put on the steelies. I have a proper torque wrench for snugging the bolts of my 18" audi alloys.. so not an issue.

Wondering what the proper torque amounts would be for the steelies and my alloys come next spring... anyone have these numbers? I know with vw if it was too high, major vibrations - no shop could figure it out and they were all torquing wayyy to high. 80 lbs was perfect for my GTI.

Why not use a regular drill with a socket adaptor to start them, and use your torque wrench to finish the job?
