I don't have one and I'm genuinely curious before I buy it, but can you use it like a hand tool when you need to apply more additional force than it can deliver to start or finish a bolt? Or would that break it?

You use this to crack the bolt loose first then hit the trigger to run it out

Q: Could this be used to remove the lug nuts on tires should I need to remove the tire?

Nowhere near enough torque to break them on even a car. You'd have to break them loose first, then this could do the other 90% of removal once loose

Thanks for the reply. Son gave me a breaker bar for Christmas - that should work with this for effective removal!

they make a high speed and a high torque. the higher torque one is better for breaking bolts free. However the new one that you can order now is 70lb of torque and 400rpm so that's the clear winner. that said, if you don't need it to break free bolts whatsoever and just want something to speed up manual labor, getting the current high speed one on sale isn't the worst idea. that said, these are typically around $130 for the bare tool at places like Walmart and combined with cashback etc, it ends up coming to this price. Woot also had them for a bit cheaper recently, and had cashback options at well, putting them around $100. Me, I'm just gonna wait for a better price on the new model
