edit: don't use torque sticks. ever. my company stopped using them about 5 years ago, due to complete and utter failure of consistency between the torque of each individual lugnut. great way to have a wheel off. do it the right way, use a hand torque wrench with the manufacturer supplied torque specifications.

Snap on, pay for it once, and use it forever.

However, you will always need to properly re-torque the lug nuts back on, so you'll end up with manual tools anyways (unless you get one of those color coded torque extensions).

I manually break off and torque down the lug nuts by hand. I then use my trusty 10 y.o. Craftsman 18V cordless to do the rest. Be careful not to drop the nut onto your wheel.

The snap on will break loose the lug nuts on the Camaro with ease, even with the torque at 140 lb/ft. It is rare that I find a lug it can't take off.

My Harbor Freight 1/2" Impact Wrench has been in use for 15 yrs. Paid $49 for it and it is great for homeowner use.
Bought a second spare when they had a coupon for them for $29.

Dewalt 18 volt ,use mine all the time and works great.

IPAINTBRIDGES31 · 01-16-2011, 10:59 AM

Dewalt has an 18 volt and a 36 volt cordless. I have them both and they have both taken an absolute beating putting in suspended cable working platforms. The 36 volt is an absolute beast but is very expensive. The 18 volt will do what you need as well. I have used the 18 volt to change tires on 16 float trailers on job sites several times.
