Not sure a Camaro owner will be happy with an M12 powered impact for wheel changes. In the Milwaukee line, M18 mid-torque is the sweet spot.

You guys suck. I didn't know I needed a new impact wrench but now can't stop thinking about it. lol

I'm deciding between these two deals...
https://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-1...SB2N/316087389
and
https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwauke...oduct-overview

I'm leaning towards the Rigid though because of the power but I also like the Milwaukee because of the size.

Or maybe, I buy both and return the one that I like the least!

Is this the one you have: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08XWPGKRG? I have a few too many Dewalt 20V MAX XR tools to switch to Ridgid or Milwaukee at this point.

I know a guy with a Miata who gave up on the M12 for lugs. For a Camaro I don't think it would work at all.

I have a 20V Dewalt Brushless model. Can't remember which model specifically but I think its similar or the same as that one.

I don't find it particularly loud, at least coming from an older 18v non-brushless.

I also have never had ANY problems getting it to break shit loose, including my old 2500HD's 140 lb-ft lugnuts. They'd come right off.

Good to know. I bought both but most likely will keep the Rigid and return the m12 Milwaukee.

Thanks a lot for the info, MightyBobo

I've been using the M12 Stubby 1/2 in. with 4.0aH battery for 2 years for at track service. Works like a dream, brakes lugs nuts torqued to 140 no problem with the wheel in the air. Trick is to use a deep impact socket without extension. Will not work with an extension. Recently upgraded to the 6.0ah battery for even more power.

You guys using these to break your lugnut loose.... Doesn't it ding the shit out of your nuts? I use a non-marring socket and a breaker bar.

Were I tracking, I wouldn't be using "nice" looking lugnuts as it is.
