I paid about $90 a few years ago. Aldi had them on for $49 last week.
They are great if you do ypur own tyre rotations

Dewalt 18 volt is a cracker but expesive, you get what you pay for!! Makita is a good make, in fact they are used on a number of UK production lines.

Mine is for a Rally car  But it's good to have on board for fast wheel swaps. I say "Fast" - the feckers are too heavy to do anything "Fast" !! And a torque wrench is a must have seen a Mini loose three studs on one wheel due to enthusiastic service crews . . . "To finish first, one first has to finish ...."

The recommended automotive industry standard for wheel nuts is "FT".
If your not sure what "FT" is rated at, I will give you a clue, the T stands for tight...
I usually nip them up as tight as I can with a standard wheel brace or equivalent socket set bar, this is not as tight as the wheel place I use put them back on with the windy gun, but tight enough.
