    A step up would be the Milwaukee.... more then Dewalt but less than Snap-On. This one is a beast at 475 ft-lb

    That's looks exactly like what I want. ALso made in the USA is a big plus to me. Now which impact socket set do I need for it? It will only be used to change tires on my Commander and two XJ's and then only in an emergency. I'm old and can't be wrestling a 4 way in the desert heat. I travel to a lot of remote areas and changing a tire has always been a concern to me.

    This little setup here will take care of any wheel (except for custom wheels that require thin-walled sockets)

    Matt, I just ordered both items. Thank you very much for your assistance. I used to be a big strong guy who never met an obstacle I couldn't overcome. Since the death of my wife I have had two open heart surgeries and changing a tire is a big deal for me. I'm just not nearly as strong as I used to be. I was trained many years ago to adapt and overcome. This tool will give me confidence to stay self sufficient. (it'll also be a good bribery tool to get some young guy to change it for me. HAHA)
    Thank you
    HT

    Actually I feel pretty good for a guy pushing 70, but with the medical procedures I've had you never regain the strength you had before. Getting old isn't so bad. I can get in my Jeep and drive anywhere I wish without a thought of cost or how far it is or how long it will take. I've decided I'm not going to stay home and count the money I saved by not going anywhere. Damn what a beautiful country we live in!
