Darn you burst my bubble!
The tools you recommend are at the higher price spectrum. No doubt that Chicago or Ingersol would be a great tool in my box. However, I just want a low end way of using an air tool to remove my lugs when I swap out my wheels. I will have to rethink this.
Thank you for the detail info.
Take care!

No problem with a Craftsman compressor, but the one you show is for a nail gun. You need something more like 1.6 hp. 26 or 33 gallon tank, preferably on wheels.
Add in an accessory kit with a tire chuck inflator, and air nozzle. If you have the compressor, a 3/8" drive air ratchet is handy. Get Craftsman impact sockets.
Make sure you don't use the impact wrench to install the wheels, you still need the torque wrench.
Don't use the air compressor when you need clean air, such as blowing out computer parts.
Good luck.
