Go with a impact socket and don't skimp on a torque wrench. The one from Griots Garage is sweet

Default I don't use my air tools to remove or install wheel lugs, I also go up to 90 ft Lbs in two steps.
Craftsman makes a nice adjustable torque wrench that I think runs around $125?

Default Also note that a torque wrench is most accurate in the middle of its range so don't
get one that can only handle up to 100 lb-ft. Mine is a 3/8" drive and goes up to 250 lb-ft I think.

Bought a real nice 17mm socket that has a plastic sleeve on the outside to protect the rims. Griot's
