Are you looking for a cordless impact that will take lug nuts off by itself (without manually breaking the bolts first)? I've never used the SnapOn ones, but your typical lug nut is torqued to 90 ft-lbs. If the SnapOn can do this, then by all means, get this. However, you will always need to properly re-torque the lug nuts back on, so you'll end up with manual tools anyways (unless you get one of those color coded torque extensions).

I manually break off and torque down the lug nuts by hand. I then use my trusty 10 y.o. Craftsman 18V cordless to do the rest. Be careful not to drop the nut onto your wheel.
