$770 but "Tough steel clutch housing. 300-1400 ft./lbs. working torque range. Average 12 cfm at 90 psi. 1/2 in. NPT air inlet. 1/2 in. minimum hose size."

Suspension bolts and crank bolts can get their dumbass selfs torqued with rust or through the course of wear to around 300 ft lbs no problem.

Here is a black and decker for $99, Notice it only does 83 ft/lbs at its max rating. Seems to me wheel lugs are ALL you're going to do with this. Now this is 12 volts, but for 10 dollars less you can get this 14.4 volt machine.

well be careful because this craftsmen is only rated to around 70 ft/lbs which isn't really going to cut it in terms of wheel lugs.

if you want to go cheap you could also just get a very small fold up hand drill motor, break the lugs with a spanner and then spin em off quick with a $30 motor. I saw that in this months sportscar. This is the same thing I currently do but my drill motor was $300, I just happened to use that since I had it.
