I sold it and bought the big Ryobi impact (PBLIW01B) and a Milwaukee M12 Stubby (Best power tool in existence, 2563-20).
RYOBI is a perfectly fine system to use. At $80 with a battery, you'll be super happy.
Get an impact socket set from Harbor Freight that has your lug nut size and keep this thing in your trunk. It'll be handy one day. As a reminder, check the air in your spare tire.
Also consider the RYOBI PCL001B tire inflator, uses the same battery.
If it was just a bit cheaper, i'd say its worth it as the entry point into such an expansive ecosystem. But it's only $20 less than Walmart's impact that has nearly 3x the torque (826vs375lbs). It really is currently impossible to beat Walmart's 1/2" Hyper Tough w/ 4.0 battery and charger at just $99.

I'm surprised to see someone recommend Hyper Tough over Ryobi when it comes to power tools.
I like Hyper Tough. I have several of their hand tools, tool adjacent items and I really like their modular tool box system. However, I don't think I would ever buy one of their power tools.
Everything I've seen says low quality and cheap. I looked at buying one of their drills to use for cleaning the bathroom (the little sponge things you can chuck), and I decided against it even though it was only $30. The batteries/chargers seem crappy too.
Plus, if you go with Ryobi, you're buying into a system that probably has whatever tool you'll need for the foreseeable future. They often have sales. And I believe their batteries are very highly rated.

Great for removing spindle nuts.

I actually looked up a review of this impact before commenting because I would have been happy to see they made improvements. While the torque spec seems to be there, I don't think it would last very long because of the battery/charger. And it's only marginally better than the cheaper ryobi that has a more robust line of tools to choose from.
I personally got an older ryobi drill from the local flea market for $5. It looks like someone put it through the wringer, but it still works just fine.
It would be cool if hyper tough upped their game and had a more reliable product at a lower price point, but they'd have to prove it to me with power tools and batteries.
Love their hand tools and stuff though.

Theres also not much on a normal car that requires much more torque than the lug nuts. I can think of axle nuts, subframe nuts, crank, but most fasteners are around the 80 max. Maybe its more for bigger trunks, which I don't have much experience with. This impact has been awesome at getting seized fasteners and bolts on rotating parts off.
