I don't know if you have one or not, but the rechargeable 20v impact wrenches have plenty of oomph for passenger vehicle lug nuts. My harbor freight 3/8 drive one seems like it could bust a lug if you worked it too hard.
Need to get another hand held light, thinking about getting a Modlite PLHv2 instead of a cloud defensive light
Also need to get a couple headlamps & keep them in the truck as when it gets dark it really gets dark & changing a flat at night stinks……
Need to get some kind of road side flashing warning lights also & possibly a couple stupid reflective vests to keep in the truck also
Im paranoid of being stuck somewhere without cell service & have to change a tire
but don’t have any reflective gear & need to rectify that, yep they are stupid but at 0300 on a 2 lane highway it could save your butt
I also need to get a couple headlamps of some kind to keep in the truck as I’m sure that would be easier than holding a flashlight
have both C02 powered air impact wrench & a ridgid 18v impact wrench
also have a 3ton “off road” pro eagle shop Jack
+1 on the head lamp.
16 years in towing & roadside assistance, I finally accepted looking stupid while increasing functionality about6 years before I got out of that business and started using head lamps while working at night. I had my big ass LED mag lites, I had my hand held like that went everywhere, but when I needed both hands I got tired of sucking on my handheld light.
Good call on the impact guns too - people give Ryobi a lot of shit, but we used Ryobi One+ tools on our trucks, and our guys were doing 2-5 tire changes a day on average with them per truck. Those tools would last a couple years before having to be replaced. I also had a couple One+ battery powered air compressors to serve as a backup if the big compressors we mounted in each vehicle failed. Not fast, but they worked.
