I bought a 12V cheap a$$ impact tool for $10 at a garage/rummage sale. Brand new/no name unit that runs of your car battery and it popped the rear pulley nut off an Audi 5 cylinder and they're on there with a suppozedly 225 ft/lb. of torque. Don't expect it to last forever and wouldn"t use it to put lub nuts on however. My tire guy has a Milwaukee in which he paid a lot more money for(Li Ion battery 14v maybe) and he loves it for wheels.
