I used to like the lug wrench that came with the Pinto and a couple of other
fords.  It was a fairly beefy steel, but it folded flat into itself AND had a
little lip on the end for the hubcap.

I used to put a 5' long fencepost on the end of it for the rusty nuts, and it
never broke.

Now, I use a big ol' 19 mm 1/2" drive socket on the end of a 20" breaker bar.
 Does the trick, takes up little space in the van, fits my torque wrench, too.
