Don't get me wrong...power tools are cool. But unless you're in a real hurry to change lug nuts, greater torque accuracy can be obtained doing them by hand...I used a 1/2" drive Snap-on Torque wrench...
A small amount of never seeze on the curved face of the lug nuts to prevent galling...tighten in an alternating pattern, 96 ft. pounds.
My favorite 19mm socket was the aluminum one sold by Stoddards...(sorry wayne)
The nylon insert soft sockets wear too quickly.
To remove, I used the same socket with a 1/2" drive breaker bar...
