Wheel nut runner
I seem to spend a lot of time taking my wheels on and off for various reasons - a recent example being the balls aching process of rear toe
adjustment. So for Xmas I promised to give myself a nut runner, not really worried about inbuilt torque control as I always use a torque wrench as a
final check on tightness. Any suggestions on a specific tool or is it simply a case of getting a socket attachment for a cordless drill?

I bought one of the bundled impact drivers,. really low cost in my case as it used the batteries that I had in common with all the drill drivers I
had. The advantage of the impact driver is that it undoes the tight nuts without resorting to another tool.

agreed ^^^ but the OP has promised himself one for xmas who are we to dissuade him ?
I have a dewalt as it uses the batteries from the drill drivers, a real no brainer. Once I had the impact driver in my hands it was really easy to
find hundreds of other jobs that I could use it for.

Re-reading the OPs question and the thread made me think. I've always lived with using either a socket on an extension bar or just my fingers
TBH. Can't say I've ever been in that much of a hurry (or in need of an F1 pit stop).
