Dunno about the rest of you blokes, but at my age, situations that require the use of such equipment don't tend to happen unexpectedly. It's a sad thing, but he days of young attractive women making salacious advances are well and truly behind me. I still live in hope though  :D

I have a DeWalt 18v cordless impact gun, I have used it 3 times and it is about to be binned after successfully fucking the wheel stud and nut thread every time it was used. It is always a thing of great joy when you convert a simple wheel change or a puncture repair on the ride on mower into a full dismantling of the wheel and replacement of studs.
 
If it's stripping the threads when you tighten the wheel nuts, you should be able to adjust the torque back a bit.

I prefet to tighten nuts by hand rather than with an impact gun. Put the gun on its lowest torque setting just to spin the nuts on and nip them up, then go around with a spanner to do the final tighten.

If you really want to get rid of it, I'll take it off your hands for a reasonable price.

Wrong tool for the job Davo, little bit too much oomph for ya mower,

if your that lazy get yourself an air ratchet, much more civilised
 
Ryobi 18V Lithium cordless drill. Break the nuts loose with a wrench and spin them off with the drill with a 1/2" socket adaptor, spin them on and torque with a wrench.  Use the drill also to polish, light grinding , mix paint, use as screwdriver (these things will drive a 3" deck screw and countersink it with ease) etc., oh and  a drill as well. Keep a second battery in the charger. Amazing power and endurance these Lithium powered tools.
