Robert,

I believe...our wheel lugs are torqued to about 75 ft. lbs.
Both of those should work with no problem, (and a sufficient supply of air pressure).
Yes, you should be looking at IR! Not sure in the difference in the two models though.
My nuke sub had a two IR 4 stage compressors that lived to be dinosaurs. :thup:
IR is good stuff IMO.

I've got several, Ingersoll, Snap-On, Mac, etc...
The Ingersoll and the Snap-On work very well. If you get the Ingersoll, get the one with the steel nose housing. Snap-On air tools are expensive but work well. Another advantage of Snap-On air tools is that if it breaks outside of the warranty period, it's $75 to fix, no matter what's wrong with it.

By a steel nose housing, that's vs aluminum or cast iron?

This one...

has yet to meet a bolt it wouldn't move. I'm very happy with the purchase. I used it with my homemade rear spring bushing puller with no problem.
