Impact Gun mid torque vs high torque

[Bernardchan96]

Hey everyone, i plan on doing all my own automotive work at home like cv, brake jobs, rotations, suspension work. So i was planning on buying an cordless impact wrench for my use. Now I only want to get 1 gun for now as im slowly building my tools so i narrowed it down to the Milwaukee m18 Fuel but now its either high torque version or mid torque. I live in Canada so lots of salt and rust

How hard is it to maneuver the gun say for example trying to get behind tie rod ends or things that take maneuvering? do extensions or universals work well enough with an impact? Just cause the only reason im considering a mid torque is for those spaces that the high torque just wont fit in.

Unfortunately that's where multiple guns comes into play. I have 1/2, 3/8, and 1/4. I use all three but fine I use my 3/8 more then anything, then my 1/2 for the bigger stuff. They are great to have and a wise investment if you are going to wrench a lot.
