You can get battery powered impact guns on ebay, don't you fancy one of them?

Having one that hooks up to the fag lighter means quick wheel changes and they're cheaper.

If you have access to the mains, buy one of these, they undo anything.

Amazing value.
I have one, and a cordless impact wrench from China

Seem to, undone both the Rado and Golf ones in the last week and done them up again as well with no issues at all.
I guess Mark uses it all the time with no probs as well.
