We use the Milwaukee 1/2" drive 18V cordless impact wrench, there's only one
model. It turned out to be one of the best investments we've made in AXing.
I also bought an 80 ft# torque stick for tightening without needing a torque
wrench. It's variable speed, so there is no problem running the nuts up snug
if you want to finish with a hand torque wrench. We once changed 16 sets of
tires with it on one battery charge.
It's a serious tool!
