It’s not cheap but probably the best 1/2 gun on the market, mine is used daly for removing tractor wheels, front and rear.
Or get the 3/4 version if you need bigger, carful of shearing bots and stripping nuts though. (Decent compressor required)

I have not used my half inch air wrench for many years. Always battery wrench now.
But if I need to undo really big or tight stuff I use a 3/4" air wrench.

Go buy your self a Milwaukee high torque 1/2 or 3/4 impact gun, wont have to part with a lot of money then.

Milwaukee is your best option id say.
1/2" adapter ok for smaller jobs, but will lose a bit of power, Milwaukee are needing to add a decent 3/4" socket set to there accessories.
bosch 2608551103 or 2608551104
Are decent set for ag wheel nuts.
Can only find them on Amazon tho
Never liked my Snapon anyhow. Useless expensive batteries that stop working after a year and the bloody thing couldn’t tighten a bottle top now. It starts and stops.
What is this Milwaukee like with removing or tightening tractor wheel nuts? Will a breaker bar be needed to tighten the nuts that bit more after the gun?

It will a little bit but for wheel nuts cant beat the 3/4 drive.
I got the older non onekey version and love it but had a go with one in my link and is slightly better again.

We have a 3/4 Clarke xpro that is very good. No need to slacken wheel nuts of with a socket. I think it cost less than £200 on line if I remember correctly.
air is dead you want a battery one

If you are regularly using them then I think the cost of the Milwaukee is going to be good if you use it once or twice every 3 months there has to be a more cost effective option. I don’t know what make it would be. we have a Beta 3/4 air gun that’s 20 years old but I only use it properly a dozen times a year.

I have a 3/4 dual voltage Hikoki, was Hitachi. More torque than my 1" drive air gun. They aren't Milwaukee but more than adequate for my occasional use.
