Only reason I sold mine because I did the 2x 4Ah Ridgid Max battery with mid torque deals last month because I need additional batteries and the mid torque was at a sweet price spot.

If you're working with screws or small fasteners (<3/8"), a 1/4" impact driver will get the job done. For larger bolts & nuts (3/8 - 3/4" or 10mm-19mm if Metric), a 1/2" impact will be more successful.
I use a pneumatic gun when my 1/2" Kobalt struggles. It happens sometimes. You'll know if you're overloading the tool because it will just keep rattling away without removing the fastener and the nose will heat up rapidly. Stop before you burn up your tools. Sometimes bolt removal needs an alternating combination of static, dynamic, penetrating oil, and heat. Be especially careful if you combine the last two (oil burns). If you're unlucky enough to have to remove a drive pulley bolt, look into Lisle Harmonic Balancer sockets--goes great with a 1/2" impact and it will save you a LOT of headache.
Good luck with all your future fastener forays.

If you plan to do your own auto work, I strongly recommend investing in one or more torque wrenches. I presently use Huskies and Pittsburgh/ Harbor Freight. They're fine for at home work. None have exceeded 4% deviation during testing. Handle them like precision instruments and they will be.
If you're not ready to get a 1/2" torque wrench, O'Reilly and the other auto parts stores rent them out for "free" (just remember to bring receipt when you return rental tools).
