Impact Wrench!
What sort of torque should I be aiming for and at what price (for removing wheels nuts, etc).
I've seen some 18v Makita ones with 200Nm at the £100 mark.

Isn't an impact driver for screws and things and an impact
wrench for wheel nuts?????

Yup. You're talking impact wrench. Personally I just use a cheapo £90 compressor and a £15 impact wrench. Does the job nicely 
Not sure re those elecy ones....

Do what I do (if you like), buy an electric with whatever torque you can get for reasonable cost, bulk and weight, and a long bar for the occasional
nut that it won't undo. Even a 12v Makita will tackle most of what crops up on a car, and obviously you will use a torque wrench for final
tightening anyway

Just bought one of these for £100...
230 NM should be enough to shift most car bolts!
