hey what is a good impact wrench at low cost? i have been searching, but the ones that claims to have good torque turns out to be junk and lies. any experience? i do a lot of work on the car. i have a breaker bar to break loose tight bolts and lug nuts, but im getting tired of it.

Torque Obsessed

I recommend picking up a set of racheting wrenches. I got mine at pep boys and they have been great, very high quality. Very useful when I installed (and later removed) my turbo kit and SC kit.

I personally have a set of craftsmen 8, 10, 12, 14, 17, 19, deep&standard sockets, 4 & 5 allen socket, 3/8 drive rachet and extended 3/8 ratchet, a small and large extender. Sparkplug socket and O2 sensor socket. A 30 LED rechargeable light (from walmart) needle nose & standard pliers. 2 Duralast 4 in one ratcheting wrenches. electrical tape, a set of electrical connectors, crimp pliers, zip ties. a 23mm socket for diff and tranny. and most importantly a Rigid impact driver with drill bits. Oh and another important thing... Jumper cables

How about an affordable electric impact wrench? I seem to take the wheels off my car a lot and boy it's tedious with a lug wrench. I know pneumatic is better, but I don't have an air compressor with enough flow to use it.

Usually the battery life on those is really short.

You can buy them with a cord to run off 115V power.
