I use a Makita rechargeable and it works fine. It won't break wheel lugs
loose or tighten them to proper torque but it's a big time saver when
changing wheels at the track (I have 3" studs). It has also come in handy
for just about everything else smaller that I've needed to remove or
install. Just use a torque wrench for the final tightening.
