| Rechargable Impact Gun/Wrench
Looking to be a rechargeable one since i don't have a compressor (or a garage) (edit: for changing wheels (thx fliptuner)). Recommendations?
Also, what is the deciding factor on whether to get a 1/4" or 1/2" drive? voltage?
The only thing I have to go by is this old article: Impact-Wrench Comparison: Seven Electric Models Tested - Gearbox - Car and Driver

I'm ASSuming this is for lugnuts. In which case, I'd say Milwaukee 1/2".

Not cordless, but CT always has these on sale for $50.. Its more than strong enough to remove lugs. I also have a smaller impact gun for other jobs, but I mainly use this on for tire swaps. Mastercraft 7.5A Impact Wrench, 1/2-in | Canadian Tire

i'm not sure if using an extension cord is feasible because i don't have a garage/driveway so i'm often doing this on the street

Milwaukee and Makita always rate at the top of cordless impact guns. I use Makitas all day at work and the only reason I chose it over Milwaukee, is cause it's slightly lighter.
Wait for a sale at kms.

1/2" milwaukee 18v impact if i were you
The 1/4" are useless for lugnuts, you'll probably want 3/4" if breaking axle nuts... Upsized adaptors don't do much, and don't use it in the engine bay when working with gas components.
They are around 400 but half of the cost is the batteries so if you buy more tools that use the same batteries it's worth the price. A tool-only 1/2" impact is only $250.

Spend $600-$700 and you can grab yourself a nice Snap-On one.
(or just use air tools...)

I use the Mastercraft 20V Li-Ion 1/2 drive impact wrench for many years now and its pretty good. Its not super strong like the cord impacts, or air impacts but for changing wheels and minor work its good enough. Plus they go on sale once and a while. I got mine for 100 bucks.

I would recommend 1/2" drive and up. Anything lower doesn't have enough torque to matter on car metal components. When buying an cordless impact wrenches, look at their max torque rating. Caution on the safer side by having more ft-lbs.
I have a Dewalt High Torque 700 ft-lbs, and it has served me well. No problem with axe nuts.

Every month They have different sales at KMS, KMS is like a tool only version of HD, also note that home depot has that same combo for 279... So you might want to look up the difference between the 500 and 250 dollar model, ie/ torque differences

My friend has an 18v Milwaukee Fuel 1/2" impact gun and he likes it a lot. I'm pretty sure it's one of his favorite tools in his toolbox lol.
I use a Mastercraft 20V brushless 1/2" personally since I mostly only use it to swap wheels.

I've got a 1/2" Milwakee 18v that I like, but I usually reach for my 3/8" Milwakee 18v, it's got 3 torque settings, 35, 75, 230ftlb., and that versatility makes it my go to.

I have the 1/2 inch Milwaukee M18 Fuel impact wrench. 1100 ft lbs of torque. That's a shit load of torque. It is a beast. If you don't have any Milwaukee batteries, just buy the kit. It comes with two batteries, a charger, and a really nice case. It is hands down my favourite tool. If you want, you can try mine out. Just pm me.
As for torque settings, If I'm not feeling lazy, I attach torque limiting extensions onto the tool.
If you're not in a hurry buy it on-line. Go to Milwaukee Canada's website and click on the buy on-line link.
If you need it soon, KMS or Summit Tools. If you have a flyer with the tool on sale, take it to Home Depot where they will beat that price by 10%. Unfortunately, I have never seen the 18 volt Fuel model on their shelves.
EDIT: found link. https://www.milwaukeetool.ca/power-t...rdless/2763-22
This is the place where I got mine. https://www.jccayer.com/checkout.php?ItemAdded=89
$379.00
Total, including taxes, is $398 shipped to door (free standard shipping).

Just like any cordless tool, unless your using it on a weekly basis the battery is going to shit the bed on you. Take it into consideration before you buy. Maybe the new lithium batteries are better, but still are meant for constant use.

On that note. If you already have a cordless drill, I suggest buying that same brand which uses the same batteries so you can make sure they are getting constant use.

i use my ryobi lithium stuff not on a regular basis. it's been 4 years and the batteries they came with seem okay? as in they seem to hold their charge for what i need to get done around the house... is there something i should be looking out for?

The Milwaukee guns are nice, but for $500 bucks just to change lug nuts and minor work seems overkill. Plus you can easily over torque bolts and nuts if you are not careful.
