I'm with you there. I use a Craftsman cordless C3 1/2" Impact Wrench and it worked great for removing the lug nuts on my wife's van the last time I rotated the tires. It hammered them right off and the lug nuts fell into my hands before I could release the trigger. I've been thinking about an IR compressor for the heavier duty jobs, but I can't seem to justify the cost or space it would take up for what little use I would get out of it.
