As the title says. Is it necessary? Or not. I am mostly working on cars and other mechanical stuff
Welcome to the forum.
The impact driver is THE best tool to install / remove fasteners w/ little to no damage to the head.
There is less utility for the impact driver on a car, as compared to a house.

Okey thanks! Then I might aswell get both right?
YW, FWIW I never used my impact wrench, despite extensive automotive work, so I sold that tool.
For automotive work I use a breaker bar when required, many different types of ratchet wrenches and a torque wrench during fastener replacement.
The threads on many fasteners are protected w/ either grease or Loctite to aid in future removal.
Short answer, no I would not also get an impact wrench.
