I realize that you are looking for mobility but I know of no battery operated impact driver that has the power you need to reliably remove lug nuts; they just don't produce enough torque. Most battery powered impact drivers produce less than 100 ft lbs of torque with a few producing as much as 140 ft lbs whereas many 3/8" drive air impact wrenches will produce closer to 300 ft lbs. My Snap-on 3/8" drive air impact wrench produces 300 ft lbs of torque and will still at times struggle to remove some lug nuts.

... but I didn't get the speed wrench thing... What is that? "looks like an old hand drill"... it seems like ti would just be quicker to use the T bar...

They're called "speeders" or speed handles. Never seen them used for removing lug nuts--doesn't mean you can't use them for that though

My new cordless impact wrench is a cheap one I guess, but it's 24volt and it says it has 200+ ft. lbs. of torque... and it didn't budge the lugs...

Just a guess on my part, but the thing probably will _tighten_ to 200 ftlbs as advertised but loosening (or "breaking") might require significantly more force.
