Measure carefully. The KT710 requires a 1.5m x 1.5m (5ft x 5ft) minimum clearance. You need room to swing the assist arm and bead breaker. Add another 3 feet behind for tire maneuvering.
The Bosch KT710 operates on all Bosch 18V Li-Ion batteries, including the older 1.5Ah, 2.0Ah, 4.0Ah, and the newer Core series 8.0Ah and 12.0Ah. bosch kt710

Analysis: On paper, the Bosch KT710 looks underpowered compared to Milwaukee or DeWalt. However, that is because those brands measure in "ft-lbs" (higher number) while Bosch stuck to "in-lbs" for this model. In reality, the KT710 is roughly equivalent to a 150-160 ft-lb tool. It is a "compact" wrench, not a "mid-torque" by modern standards. If you need modern power, look at the Bosch GDS18V-330CN (the newer replacement).
