Sounds like more work than it is.

Guys, thank you for the suggestions, I am glad to hear there are some good choices.
Toby, thanks for the offer, could you bring it by the house sometime?

I use this one as well--this impact wrench does it all and has Lithium ion batteries (powerful and no "memory" effect).

+1 on the Goodyear from Manny Moe and Jack. 24 volt, less than $80 US dollars and spins them off with the car in the air...Just used it an hour ago, in case anyone here doubted the effectivness of this tool.

For all of you who now have more foot pounds in your impact wrench than you want on your lug nuts, takes a look at a a torque stick to keep yourself from over-torqueing (and potentially ruining alloy nuts, or damaging studs).
