Cute!

I use a Hitachi 18 v. cordless impact driver. Made a commitment to Hitachi cordless years ago buying reciprocating saw, a circular saw, a drill and a bunch of flashlites--which make very good work lights. I have 2 chargers and about 6 batteries so I never get stalled doing a job. The 18v has good torque and a variable speed trigger so with a little finesse you can use it to reassemble stuff. Spare batteries are nice and fairly inexpensive. I use mine a lot and Hitachi stuff is excellent quality.

For heavier stuff like suspension parts, lug nuts, etc. I use a Harbor Freight Earthquake 1/2 inch drive air impact. It will loosen the most stubborn bolts or break them. For tighter spots, I use a 3/8 drive butterfly impact. Air ratchets are nice, too.

Use a torque wrench on you wheel lugs and on anything that calls for a specific torque.
