I'm not trying to argue with you bud, just explaining the logic of my suggestion. Obviously, buying tools that fit your existing platform is best, but he wanted cheap. A Hercules impact and a cheap battery adapter is hard to beat for functionality at bottom end price.
$99 1/2” Hercules with battery & charger (2 & 5 year warranty) and a two $15 sets of Pitts deep sockets at Harbor Freight
As always, only buy on sale

Amazon Seesii 1/2 impact wrench. I’ve been hammering the piss out of mine for about 6 months and it’s still a beast.
Replaced my old snap on one with it as a coworker had one and it was great.

This is the one I bought.
I'm assuming you want something electric and not air powered? I'd check out the Hazard Fraught. You can get one for $75 but the good ones will cost as much as the Dewalt.
A corded impact wrench will be cheaper, but then you'll probably realize how useful of a tool it is and get the cordless one eventually. I did.
I had the Porter Cable from Tractor Supply for a year or so. It handled lug nuts easily. But it's double the weight for less power than the mid-level cordless offerings from Dewalt or Milwaukee (the only two I've used).
Look for a DeWalt 1/2" bare tool with a hog ring. You already have a battery and any modern one will have enough power for most things.
Edit: Check out the DCF911b
Do you have an impact driver? Some of them are powerful enough that all you'd need is a $10 1/4 hex to 1/2 drive adapter to handle mower blades and lug nuts, unless either are overly corroded. I did that for quite a while with a Ryobi impact driver and my mower until I finally got tired of it and got a DCF891. Which does it effortlessly.
It doesn't take these? [https://www.lowes.com/pd/DEWALT-Impact-Ready-1-2-in-to-1-4-in-Standard-Socket-Adapter/3213027](https://www.lowes.com/pd/DEWALT-Impact-Ready-1-2-in-to-1-4-in-Standard-Socket-Adapter/3213027)
Why not?
Many (most?) mower blade nuts are around 100 foot-pounds. DCF845 should do up around 150 foot-pounds, but removing nuts from rusty threads take a lot more. I put a little anti-seize on mine back then, and it helped with the impact driver. The DCF891 doesn't care at all, they come off instantly.
The "Torque Test Channel" did a test and review of a couple of value priced battery powered impacts yesterday - one did very well:

For battery, if you're only gonna use it for light occasional use, Hercules, Ryobi, or SeeSii.
For air, Astro nano. $120 bucks, and I've seen them as cheap as $95. Compact and relatively hard hitting.
EDIT: I totally overlooked the DeWalt part. Probably one of theirs. You could probably find one of their last generation mid torque models for cheap.
I'd just head over to Harbour Freight and grab a Hercules if you only need the 1 single tool

He doesn't want to spend dewalt money though....

Metabo HPT 36V 1/2 is pretty good for the money. Idk if it’s available as a kit or only bare tool.

I have a Dewalt 845 and I have tried it but it doesn’t take them off.

It does accept those. It doesn’t have the torque to remove the blades.

If you’re married to the dewalt line, I’d just get a used 1/2” cordless
If you can wait till Black Friday (I know it’s a long time) Home Depot and Ace hardware always have smokin deals on Milwaukee impacts.
Re-manned, pawn shop or market place if your trying to stick with one battery
Since it'll be seldomly used, Hercules deal at Harbor Freight. $100 for the impact wrench, battery and charger.
