I have never used a geared wrench before but go ahead and give us a review. I'd be interested in hearing how it works in real life.
Personally I like to keep it simple and have always used
Gorilla Wrenches
They are great. Inexpensive, 14" and then extend to 21". More than enough leverage to break the lugs off even with the lazy shop guys torque the nuts down with the impact wrench.
And if it ever comes down to it. I'm sure it would make a pretty impressive "beatin stick". You can flick it out like a police baton.
