Is this wrench powerful enough for lug nuts?

No. It is a 12V compact wrench meant for light fastening. For wheel lug nuts and suspension bolts you want an 18V or corded impact wrench with much higher breakaway torque.

Does it come with a battery and charger?

It is commonly sold as a bare tool, so check the listing for what is included. It uses Makita 12V Max CXT slide-on batteries, which are not the same as the older 12V Max pod-style batteries.

It has a 3/8-inch square drive, so any standard 3/8-inch impact-rated socket fits. Use impact sockets rather than chrome hand sockets for sustained use.

How does it compare with the 18V Makita impact wrench?

It is smaller and lighter and fits into tighter spaces, but it delivers far less torque. Choose it for assembly and light automotive work, and the 18V for heavy fastening.

Does it have a light and speed control?

Yes. It has a built-in LED work light and variable speed with multiple gear settings, so you can slow down for delicate fasteners.
