For those times when some jerk has used an air impact wrench to overtighten
the lug bolts, I have your setup (1/2 inch drive, of course), plus a 4 foot
hollow steel pipe for extra leverage.

One of my favorites, when you really need it, is a proper lug-wrench.  Mine
is made up from Craftsman socket wrench parts:  a 19 mm socket, a 3"
extension (to permit the force to be applied parallel with the face of the
tire), and a 15" "breaker-bar" (or "speed bar" as they are called in the
Sears catalog).  It seems to work well.
