How about making a few trips rather than taking them all at once ?

After Discount broke my locking nut socket I asked them to ONLY use a torque wrench to secure lugs. They happily complied.

Asking seems easier than spending $$$.

Yeah, the last time our (best in town) tire shop installed my wife's summer tires on her BMW 325XI, I had to jump on the lug wrench with all my weight (plus some) to loosen the lug bolts in order to remove a flat tire! I weigh 160 lbs. so God knows how tight they really were. I just like to do everything myself, when I can.
