Air Compressor and Impact Gun

I need to get a bolt off of one of the front strut in the engine bay. I managed to get both off when I first installed coilovers a couple years ago, but I can't seem to get one of them off. Can't remember if I did some kind of trick or workaround to get them off. Or if it was just that easy to get the stock stuff off.

So something that can do this job and possibly remove lug nuts off of the wheels as well.

Minimum 30gal, preferably a 60gal. for good torque with a quality impact gun.

Hop on eBay and get a 1/2" Snap On cordless impact. My friend has one, it busted the u bolts loose on my pickup trucks axle with zero drama. Makes lug nuts a cake walk too.

yeah...i picked up a craftman and it did the job real easy. removed the strut nut, lug nuts for 6 wheels and took off the caliper bolts ...and it's still charged.
