Best impact wrench for changing tires? Cordless vs pneumatic

I'm setting up a home garage and I want to get an impact wrench for changing tires on my cars. I'll also use it for some light auto repair work. Should I go with cordless or pneumatic? I already have a compressor so that's not an issue. What brands/models would you recommend? Looking to spend around $150-200.

For home use, cordless is the way to go these days. Yes, pneumatic is more powerful but you're dealing with hoses, air tanks, and noise. I switched to Milwaukee M18 Fuel impact and haven't looked back. It's got plenty of power for lug nuts - even on my truck. The portability is huge. Plus, you can use the same batteries for other tools.

Pneumatic is still the gold standard in shops though. I've got a Snap-On pneumatic impact that's been going strong for 15 years. If you're doing serious wrenching, nothing beats the sustained power of air. But for occasional tire changes and weekend projects, cordless is plenty. What matters more than corded vs cordless is getting a quality impact with good torque. Look for at least 300 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque.

Good advice on the torque. I was looking at the Milwaukee 2767 (M18 Fuel) - is that one overkill for a home garage? Also, any recommended socket sets that work well with impact wrenches?

Not overkill at all - that's basically the industry standard now. For sockets, get impact-rated chrome molybdenum sockets. Regular sockets can shatter under high torque. Tekton and GearWrench both make good affordable impact socket sets. Don't cheap out on sockets - a flying socket shard can do serious damage. Also, get a set of impact-grade extensions.
