Is a cordlees impact wrench as above ok for wheel changing?
I was wondering if its worth it for swapping between road and mud wheels, should i get another set of rims.
Is it worth it for changinmg flats? I like the idea if it saves work lol!

yep there good, easier to carry and cheaper
you would most probs need a power bar to losen the nuts anyway before the impact wrench

Now my technical kwnolage about cars is limited. When i have filled the back of the postage stamp up i will read it all out to you!

Are wheel nuts not meant to be done up to a "setting" of something ft/lbs or such like?
Or do you just give them a good tighten with the long bar thingy?
