Cordless impact wrench recommendations

Folks,

I've relied extensively on my Snap On 12V cordless impact wrench (CT3110) for decades (~20 years!?). Swapping wheels, suspension, just about everything.
But after 2-3 battery rebuilds, it's approaching the end of the road. I'm shopping for a replacement.

Ideally, the max torque could either be calibrated, or match wheel lug range (100-120 ft/lbs).

What are you using?

Any feedback on Snap On's 14.4 V 3/8" Drive unit:

TIA,

That's pretty sweet! I was going to say Milwaukee's don't know if they have the brake feature. I have an older 3/8" Milwaukee fuel and the brake feature seems like a must.

Milwaukee Mid-torque. I love mine, but it's much stronger than what you're looking for with no adjustment. I'd never trust the gun to tighten a bolt to where I want it, I use a torque wrench for that.

Garage List
I've used a Ryobi P260 1/2" impact wrench for around 10 years. Normal use for this is to remove the wheels for a brake pad swap to track pads prior to a track weekend. Then it goes to the track to be used to swap the wheels/tires at the track. Back home, the brake pads are swapped again back to stock.

I used it on my wife's 2011 335is Coupe since 2011 when we were both tracking her car. When I got my 2016 M4 it was used for both cars. In 2018 she got an M3 and we bought the newer Ryobi P261 1/2" impact wrench so we would each have one. This also has 2 speeds. Neither one has ever failed either at home or at the track.

The newest Ryobi 1/2" impact wrench is the P262. During Ryobi days, you can buy a two-pack of batteries with a charger for ~$100 and get the tool for free. Don't turn your nose up at the Ryobi as being an inexpensive tool. It does the job without fail!
