HELP: Need power tool to remove lugs at the track
Hey:
Can anyone recommend a tool that is cordless or runs off the cigarette lighter, that I can use at the track to quickly remove the lugnuts on my car? It takes me too long to wrench it by hand. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I dont think your gonna find anything with enough amps or torque to remove lugnuts at least one that plugs into a cig lighter. you can use a cordless drill but you would still have to tighten or loosen by hand a full turn before it can actually turn them. Me personally like to feel that there on there tight.

Snap on has a tourqe gun that is cordless. My buddy has one and unless some bolts are stuck it gets everything on and off There are a couple of other cordless tourqe guns but Im not sure of the amount of tourqe they provide nor have I used any of them.
I would still personally do one turn on and one turn off by hand with a tourqe wrench to be sure they are tourqed properly though, especially for track use.

Bump back from the dead. I found this post while looking for a decent (i.e. well priced) torque wrench for the track. I spend so much time taking wheels on and off, not buying this piece of equipment is just silly.
I see that 24V Goodyear one in a few locations. It claims 200lbft of torque. Although I doubt it will get all the way there, I can only assume that it torques above the 85lbft that I torque the lugs to. Would you guys use this to put ON the lugs as well (then tighten by torque wrench)? I'm concerned about going above the recommended 80-90lbft of torque for lugs, and I don't believe that these particular cordless torque wrenches have any sort of throttle control. Thanks.
