Best sub compact cordless impact for removing lugs?

[HondaTech]

M12 3/8 Stubby will kill anything out there.

Routinely takes off Pioneer and Talon hub nuts with 3/8-1/2 adapter and deep well impact socket. $279 with batteries.

To the OP...I definitely think if you don't already have some power tools brand that you already own, that it is important to think through what you all want and keep the tools in the same brand and battery setup. I have these with me on virtually every ride I go on.

Like I said, it was a guess.

They work surprisingly well, just slower than bigger saws.

Yes it is one BA little saw!! It really surprised me at how well it works!! I've had to spin it around a log but it did it!

I carry the full-size Milwaukee chainsaw and it does great! Milwaukee has come along way and it’s a great tool set to get into it if you haven’t already gotten into another brand.

Looking for a compact impact driver for changing tires? But they seem to powerful for the torque needed to remove/install. Is there one that the torque is adjustable? I think the Honda recommended torque specs are 80lbs?

The impact driver is nice for getting nuts off and quickly getting nuts down. In general, I usually final hand torque by feel and then throw on a torque wrench to check my work. Drive, have fun, then re-torque. After a while I can almost set the torque by feel, especially useful in the field. My mechanical experience is mostly building aircraft, so I tend towards process overkill.

They make torque sticks that look like a 6" 1/2 drive extension that limit the torque from an impact tool. I'm not sure if they make one for the exact torque but I think I remember seeing 100 lbs.-ft.

Agreed, get one that matches your other cordless tools. Then they all use the same batteries.
I have a variable speed Makita and it works great. Finish off with a torque wrench to know where you're at. If you don't already have a cordless drill, get a combo pack with as many tools as your budget allows. Impact, drill, sawzall, circular saw, etc.

Love my 3/8 drive RYOBI. Small light weight but powerful.......

I bought the ryobi 3/8 and it couldn’t take off my lug nuts in any setting? Am I doing something wrong?

Sounds like the nuts are simply tighter than the impact is capable of removing.

I recently bought the Milwaukee M18 stubby. I chose it because I already have a M18 screw gun.

So far it's been impressive. Took the blade bolts of my Honda lawn tracor with no problem.

I have the 3/8 drive M18 Milwaukee for shop use and I just throw it in the packout box when going for a ride.
