On my to buy list is a breaker bar, extension, socket and jack. I have a 1/2 electric rattle wrench but I doubt it would crack the wheel nuts.
A halfway decent cordless impact should be able to loosen the lugs-provided they are not too tight. 140 ft/lbs is not really that tight, just a 70 pound pull at the end of a 2 foot tire iron. Many guys would have you think that you need to stand on the end of a four foot breaker bar to get them loose. If that's the case, then they were WAY overtightened to begin with and possibly damaged.
