I bought cheapo from hardbor freight. Couldn't even take a bolt off tightened with less then 100ftlbs. Bought the husky for like $80 from home dohpo and it works great. The second i hit the trigger with it on its lowest setting the same bolt flew off.

I use a Makita 3/8" to get lugs off with if I'm not using my air impact. I heard the big daddy Snap-On gun they just came out with has the most torque of all impacts. Your best bet is to go to consumerreports.com and check their reviews, they just did a test on impact guns a few months ago. That will get you the best bang for the buck.
