Hi, Scotty,

[Love your videos, die-hard 78yr.-old fan.  Have saved many a dollar by trusting your experience:  TY!]

(Q) I’m new to air tools & compressors and would like to know what lug nut air tool that incorporates torque settings so I don’t strip threads on my wheel lugs.  Do you know of any?  Thanks.

I would never use one.  I just use a regular torque wrench.  Then I KNOW they're right.

For tightening/torquing lug nuts, I use a standard torque wrench.  That’s the proper way to do it to mitigate damage - also what Scotty does if you have seen his videos.

Don't bother with all the compressor and hose nonsense. Get a battery powered impact wrench. When you become proficient with it, you don't need to use a torque wrench.
