    I used a Kawasaki unit similiar to these 2 a few years ago and it was pretty bad ass. It removed some stuck trans crossmember bolts that were rusted on, it revs up then hammers.

    I've got the 12v Kawasaki. I'm pretty happy with it.

    I'm still thinking cordless.

    As for being able to plug a regular 110 v in - I just don't think that will work.

    Milwaukee 2754 model 3/8 drive. Takes lug nuts off, and can turn power back to 75 ft lbs to put them back on. I have the 1/2 version as well, good enough to take lug nuts off, but better be careful putting them back on.

    I use it on vehicles to break stuff loose or run the balljoint and bushing presses.
    To tighten lugs, I use torque sticks.

    The new ones can be adjusted by your cell phone so you can adjust speed torque rpm etc.

    I use torque sticks also, but not with the 1/2 inch impact. Mine say they are rated for 250 inch lbs, they are made by mac. I use them with a 3/8 inch impact and are about perfect. I use the 1/2 inch to brake the harder bolts loose though.

    Op you could use a Milwaukee 2764 3/4 impact wrench, you have 2 modes. 1st mode 375 ft lbs and mode 2 750 ft lbs. use mode 1 with torque sticks and you will be fine. I have one and there isn't anything this thing won't remove. I like this one better then the 1/2 version 2763, because you can cut the power in half. I have the 3/8 impact as well and use this one the most, powerful enough for lug nuts, and can set power to 75 ft lbs to put lug nuts back on. Works great for atvs and brake jobs as well.

    Everyone seems to be glossing over the fact that 3/4 drive impact wrench typical impact socket sets are bigger than what you're going to run into on the typical vehicle or trailer. If you want smaller sockets they are typically indivually ordered (anything below 7/8in or metric equivelant. Get a high powered 1/2 drive unit if you're concerned about rusted fasteners, any brand will do.

    Will agree 3/4 is too much, unless your removing harmonic balancer bolts regularly.
