I am planning on buying an impact wrench for car maintenance. There are many of them out there. How much torque should it have?
 
that all depends on whether you are looking for air powered or ac powered but either way 450 ft lbs should get you though most situations. Anything that requires more torque than that just get a $5 steel tube and a breaker bar you can get up to 5 feet safely and break those frozen nuts.
