Something even better than a nut spinner?.....one of those battery
powered drill drivers....I have one that I use at every place it fits, and
that is a lot of places...Has a spring loaded quick load hex type
collet....You can put whatever bit you need in there and also a 1/4" and a
3/8" socket driver.....
   You do have to be a little careful to not over tighten stuff...you can
easily break fasteners by letting it 'rattle' on them too long.   Really
handy when changing wheels, too....My little Ryobi One will put on about
30lbs of torque on a vanagon lug nut, then I use my torque wrench......
