    What about something like this:

    NEW Unimac 240V 1 2'' Electric Impact Wrench Rattle GUN Driver Torque Tools AIR | eBay

    Adjustable torque settings. So maybe something like this would eliminate the need for a manual torque wrench??
    Experts please guide me as I'm getting over manually taking my wheels off and putting them back on every fortnight haha

    Your only issue is that it's corded so where ever you use it you will need power, the cordless units these days have plenty of go and batteries last for ages, plus with mine i got spare batteries anyhow and only a 1hour charge

    This is also true! Are there any battery operated impact drivers that have torque settings?

    I would always use the torque wrench, just to be sure.

    Electirc Wheel Nut Impact Drivers

    I have the Ryobi unit which I bought since I had one one + stuff.

    Awesome little tool to have around.

    Thats a lot to pay for something thats not getting a lot of use compared to say a wheel shop, just remember that variable torque is simple the power output of the drill not torque setting to tighten the nuts just in case you didn't realize

    I have one of the Ryobi ones. It's been really good and stood up to general workshop abuse really well.

    As every one else has suggested I use a torque wrench for final tightening.

    There are also torque limiting sockets available for wheel nuts.

    This is one company that sells them.
