Compare specs before you buy. Some wrenches are rated for more torque than others...
You'll think you got this great buy on a nice brand name IR or CP wrench, only to find out it's only a 250 ft-lb model, and won't spin a finger-tight nut.
That said, we've had the same results and same luck with either "CP" brand, Central Pneumatic, or Chicago Pneumatics. The expensive wrenches just haven't proven themselves to be worth the extra money. They last about the same amount of time with occasional use.
Don't buy the $19.99 wrench. It's obviously junk. You can feel it. Look at the ones in the $50-$75 range. They're rated at 450-600 ft-lbs of torque and are clearly built better.
I've had one that I paid about $65 for three years ago. Still works when I need it and has no trouble with lug nuts when I open up both air compressors.
