    It's nearly the same most likely except the tip is made for standard sockets. The same sockets you may already be using on an air driven impact drill.

    Which one of these do I need to bust the lug nuts on my Commander? I'd like a kit with 2 batteries/charger. Also what size socket do I need.?
    Where do you buy these? I've only found small ones at Lowes and Sears.
    Perhaps I should just try and flag down the Snap-On guy. I noticed the shop rotating my tires was using snap on.

    Order this:

    300 ft-lb, it's the strongest one they make.

    Then any 1/2" impact socket set will do. 3/4" (or 19mm) 6-point socket for the lugs.

    That thing really looks huge but it's half the price of a Snap on...They list for $570 online. Kinda pricy for a tool I wouldn't use that much, but could be a life saver if I need it.

    My friend has the snap-on... they're not much different in size.

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

    As a carpenter and I do 90% of my own mechanical work I love my Milwaukee. Have had for going on for three years with consent use and no problems.

    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)
