Anything in HF over $50 is free shipping. That's why I always make
sure my orders are more than $50... not too difficult!
As for torque and speed, there are two adjustments. There is a knob
in the back which adjusts the forward speed and torque, but the lowest
setting is too high for putting wheels back on. The trigger is also a
decent throttle, and I don't think I've given it "full throttle" too
often.

The 2131 is nice and light and massively powerful. I'm really happy I
got it.

I am about to buy an air ratchet, and I'm leaning towards the CP
ratchet for $49.99:

I like the bigger high-torque ratchets, sure, but you can break the
bolt loose by hand and then buzz it off. I don't believe ultimate
torque is as necessary on the hand ratchets.
(If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will let me know!)
