[RC] cordless impact/lug wrench for travel? - Tx Trigger

Does anyone carry a cordless impact / lug wrench in their rigs for on the
road tire changing? I was looking at the DeWalt DW-057K-2 18V 1/2" Impact
wrench:

Voltage18 V
Drive Size1/2" square with detent pin retention in
No Load Speed  0-2,400 rpm
Impacts/Min  0-3,000 bpm
Max. Torque  1,650 in-lbs
Max. Torque  138 ft-lbs

Is that enough torque to get off a tight lug nut?  This would make life so
much easier when the trailer tire is shredded after a blow out, and trying
to turn the lug wrench means the tire just wants to spin around and around
as it has nothing left to grab on to the ground. And since I don't have a
generator or air compressor along, thought this cordless might be the
answer.

Thoughts?
