I saw that but the M18 only has 125 foot-pounds of torque. That's more than enough to put them on, but not enough to reliably take them off. If I need to crack them with a breaker bar, a 4 way wrench is easier than an impact wrench. Plus a 4 way never runs out of battery.
Upgrading my tire changing tools
I have been using my socket set to change out snow tires every year, but it's too slow. The best thing would be old fashioned cross lug wrench, but I can't find one that works. The aftermarket alloy wheels I use in winter need a thin wall deep socket, and cross wrenches are always too fat to get on the nut. I could get thin wall sockets welded onto the wrench I already have.
AN impact wrench with a torque stick would be even better, but I don't have compressed air or even electricity where I change the wheels, and I'm afraid a battery powered impact wrench wouldn't work well enough. Does anyone have any experience with battery power wrenches? What are good brands?
Any other suggestions?

That's exactly what I was looking for. That has 300 lbs-ft of torque which should usually be enough.My Ryobi P261 impact wrench works great. It easily removes the lug nuts on my Crown Vic that are torqued to 100 ft/lb. I can rotate four tires with the battery at 25% charge. Get a spare battery and you could work on a fleet.
