I was just doing research on how to remove my car's axle nut and the thought of buying a more powerful impact wrench came up so i searched SD and found this deal. Great timing. Currently 8 tools deep in the M12 system so this will fit right in. Thanks OP.

Probably not going to be strong enough for an axle nut.
A major problem uncovered by the torque test channel with strong 3/8 impact wrenches, is the anvil can wallow out high quality impact sockets when driven hard. Not so with the 1/2" anvil. If you're not trying to remove stubborn fasteners, 3/8 probably wont be a problem, but it is something to consider for long term ownership. I went with 1/2 for that reason. But then, I probably encounter more stubborn fasteners than the average guy... just my luck!

Whats the nut size and factory torque spec? Is there any corrosion?

36mm nut torqued to 181 ft-lbs per factory specs. Haven't started the job so can't confirm if there's corrosion. Swapping out the clutch on a 2008 Civic Si.

Do you have a High Output 5.0 Ah Battery Pack? You need that battery to deliver a full 550 ft-lbs of torque with this impact wrench. You also have to remember that every time you add an extension, you lose ft/lbs. Add to that rust and corrosion, as commenters above said, it might not be enough.

Get this one, it's better to have enough power than not have it when you have taken your car apart.

The stubby will be fine if anything use a breaker bar if you can't get it before lifting the car. For that job drop the rack with the subframe and make steering wheel alignment marks. Also keep the bolts really organized and use OEM throw out bearing only

Thanks for the tips. I did order Genuine Honda throwout bearing based on all the horror stories I read online with the included throwout bearing. Also ordered ARP flywheel bolts, Exedy OEM flywheel (this my daily driver), and Exedy stage 1 clutch kit.

Nice, that's a good setup. Stay organized, and you'll get through it. It's a lot of bolts. I've done a few of them. This is also a great time to replace the power steering rack bushings (make sure you torque them evenly, or it will clunk), refresh the front suspension, and upgrade the rear mount/front mount if you haven't. I think the stubby will get it, use an impact socket, and hammer out the tang before trying. Even if it doesn't, the breaker bar will do it. Personally, I think you'll get more utility from the stubby, especially on this job. Everything after those axle nuts, the stubby will get them np and won't need to mess with extensions, etc. I love the 8th gen SI's such well balanced cars and the K20 is a beast.
