Can the new Impact Driver TID 18 be used to loosen wheel lugs?

If need be I could crank out lugs with my teeth — but I do not want to...
So some more feedback on this
I've been using my TID 18 for wheel maintenance (wheels rotations, brake works...) and I must say I'm happy with the result
Not once has to TID struggled to break a nut loose (I work on properly torqued nuts so I can't comment if it could loosen a nut that had been over torqued to 500N.m by an idiot at the auto shop -yes, they are many).
Quite conveniently, the lowest level will torque to less than 50N.m no matter how long it is applied. That is quite a good thing for fastening : I bolt the nuts back with the TID on low, then finish them up with a torque wrench.
FYI second setting is above my target torque so I'm not using it for fastening.
