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)

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
Glad I could help!
And sorry to hear about your situationHope things are shaping up for you!
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!Glad I could help!
And sorry to hear about your situation
