For most passenger vehicles equipped with standard lug nuts, a 1/2 inch drive impact wrench providing around 300-400 ft-lbs of torque is sufficient. This covers common lug nut sizes of 14-21 mm on This is too weak. To weak

a Popular Mechanics article said this removed lug nuts of 150 foot pounds with ease. It tested it against Dewalt and Milwaukee similar units. The Rigid was third of the test, but easily did the 150 foot pound lug nut test. Its a third the price

It could not loosen my F150 4x4 21 mm lug nuts that had been torqued to 150 ft lbs at last tire rotation. I had to use my larger RIDGID 1/2-inch impact to get it done. That was trying all the different settings. The "3" should have worked but it didn't.

Not reliably. If you broke them loose by hand, you could then remove them then reinstall them with this. Then you would hand tighten them for safety. Unfortunately many repair facilities have inexperienced kids with high power impact wrenches who seriously over tighten them. The proper way is to tighten with a torque wrench.

No, don't count on it

I tried it for that purpose. Maybe close, but no cigar in my case. I also have the R86011 1/2" standard size/torque model (not the high torque full size), and that thing works great for lugnuts. I kinda feel like that one on high could even bust them off while tightening if I set it on full and kept at it, but I only set it on high for removing them. I use a lower setting for replacing them, then tighten with a torque wrench. If I didn't have a torque wrench, I'd still do the final tightening with a breaker bar by feel rather than go at it with the impact and maybe overtighten. I have quite a few Ridgid power tools, and so far I've been very happy with all of them.

Yes, this tool works very well for this unless the lug nuts have been severely overtightened, in which case you might have to use a breaker bar first. I also use this tool, with a torque stick, to tighten the lugs after reinstallation. Big time saver!

Depends on how loose your lug nuts are on. On most vehicles, no.
