Will An Impact Gun Remove My Wheel Nuts?

Yes, it will, but….

An impact wrench is only as good as the wrench that put it on or the torque the nuts were set to.

If there’s corrosion, dirt, salt on the wheels, if a stronger wrench was used or a high torque was used. A breaker bar may be needed to break the nut free.

The wrench regardless of breaking the lock on the wheel, is a great tool to take the nuts off without using a ratchet socket set and constantly hitting the wheel or your knuckles

But ultimately, yes.

Even when using an impact wrench to put the wheel nuts back on a torque wrench should be used to the manufacturers specified torque. Do not torque with the wrench.
