We live in America and everyone things differently. But the way I look at it in over 100k miles of travel I never had to change a tire on the road. I got a large screw crossing back into the US from CA. I used a plug kit and a 12 v compressor to pumped it up to 50 psi and drove to gas station to top it off. I carry a breaker bar and pipe over the breaker bar for an extension and a 6 point deep socket. As far as getting older the 19.5 in tire has gotten heavier in the last 15 years since I retired, so to me breaking the lug nut with the extension is the easy part getting the tire off and back on is the hard part which I have had to do many times in my drive way for brakes, lubing the calipers etc. So yes if I had to I could still do it on the road but if I had a blow out on the hiway I would feel safer calling road service so I see no need to carry a expensive impact gun that takes up more space than my breaker bar and extension based on my experience.
