As above. It’s a good wrench but often wheel nuts will be too much for it. I have both and use them both equally, but a lot of my stuff is larger/rusty. 

What kind of wheel nuts though? Tractor or car?

As i said i'd get one like these

I was using my impact driver the other day, thought I would update this thread with the final outcome.

I went for DTW285, it's been great. My chipper blade bolts are only M10 so undo on medium, a lot of things undo on low.

Had two that lasted barely a year each. The Milwaukee equivalent is cheaper and almost as powerful as the Makita 3/4”. 
 

sorry to piss on your chips, I used to be makita through and through.

Hmm maybe, guess the obvious question is how long have you had the Milwaukee so far? Trouble with saying thats cheaper, I don't have batteries or charger.

To be honest I don't use it often enough to wear it out, but when I do it makes the job a lot easier and quicker so I'm happy so far.

Test the water as I did with a makita to Milwaukee battery adaptor 👍🏻
 

ive almost entirely switched over, and hand on heart, Milwaukee is better in every way. I always buy the top of the range so it’s a like for like comparison. 
 

I did buy a Makita rebar tying gun the other day though, as Milwaukee don’t make one.

I have the big 2000+Nm Milwaukee impact wrench, great tool but the body might as well be made of foam, very poor quality.

I have heard ( on here I think ) that there are different " grades " of tools made by the top brands . The lesser grades are sold in screw fix , tool station etc . If you go strait to the Milwaukee web site you pay a bit more but get better quality . I don't know If this is the case though ?
