Do you need a separate breaker bar or can the torque wrench do the job? Is the snap-on torque multiplier bar posted above do the entire trick? Thanks in advance for info.

The torque multiplier should make loosening easy, just as it does tightening. Obviously you'd use a much smaller ratchet or breaker bar with one. I have a separate breaker bar nearly as long as my torque wrench that I use.
The Precision Instruments torque wrenches break down to 3 pieces. They make breaker-bar attachments for them that replace the torque wrench section. I find it easier to have a separate tool than to have to swap the handle back and forth, especially as the procedure is to torque, loosen, then torque again.

You should never use a torque wrench to loosen anything. They're precision tools meant for tightening to a specific spec.

I need to invest in the correct tools so I can manage the center lock wheels.
Just got back from a 4 day, 1,270 mile road trip and the car was awesome! I'd like to do more trips like this but if I have a tire issue most shops can't help. I'd like to have what I need "on board" and as compact as possible. So I can help them, help me.
Can anyome provide links to required tools ?
Also anyome know what this is tool is in the video link below? A Part number or link to it would be great. Looks compact and able to apply the torque required in a small package.
