seeking advice on cordless impact wrench

[Converse986Black]

I have a 18V +One Ryobi impact with 300ftlbs of torque and 3000 IPM that I have used for the last couple of years. It has been a life saver on trips to Pick-n-Pull and for jobs around the garage. I have zero complaints about it. There are other impacts with better specs and worth more but this impact from Home Depot has earned what I paid for it five times over in sweat equity saved.

You have a uniquely powerful tool ? I hope you don't use it fully on any bolt on your Boxster.300 ft lbs +impact that is brutal !
If you check Ryobi ,it is 133 ft.pounds.(Plenty!) aka 1600 inch pounds

That isn't the impact wrench I was referring to but I do have that one as well . I know the research monsters are quick to check numbers, so I should have posted a picture and model number to avoid the confusion lol Without searching HD here's a similar one I was referring to..my apologies if there was any confusion in my response for the OP or anyone following/replying to the thread.

O.K. so tell us which 18v Ryob i impact wrench with 300 ft.lbs of torque you were referring to ?
BTW, 300 ft pounds + impact will destroy most fasteners on a Boxster so be careful with it or buy a lot of Helicoils.

My, my you are a determined one. As, I know you have the capability to search and search is our friend.... OP was searching for an impact wrench, I only informed OP of the one I have, brand name and specs from memory. For what the OP will be using the impact wrench for...I never said it was a driver, you politely assumed and chased the white whale for no apparent reason. I'm not a keyboard warrior about who knows more about these cars as I am a "novice" but not novice enough to destroy what I'm working on. In the military we had a saying "right tool for the job". If this impact doesn't fit into the OP's garage plans, I am not offended but for my garage plans it has been a life saver. Lykke til

Different tools for different jobs.

This is the tool my brother has 170 ft lbs, 18V lithium. It works great for most automotive applications in wheels, brakes, suspension etc. Great batteries and not too bulky. If you need this much tool I recommend it.

I have a lighter more general purpose cordless driver that I use every day on the job and it doubles as my automotive speed wrench. What it gives up in max torque it gains in getting into tight places and allows me to use it overhead without fatigue. For wheels I usually start and finish all lugs with a hand tool while using the cordless primarily for speed. I can change 4 wheels and check brake pads in 20 minutes pretty consistently. I don't need my cordless to remove heavily rusted bolts because I have a breaker bar with 4' galvanized helper for the heavy stuff I hit every 5 years or so. I don't live in the rust belt so heavy rusted bolts are damn rare. This is my favorite tool if you choose speed and compact daily use over heavy duty.
