    There is a vevor torque multiplier they advertise for wheels mostly that I think would work really well. Especially for not doing mains often

    I have a torque multiplier which is 3/4" x 1", but it would be a bugger lifting it up, holding everything, and running the ratchet upside down by yourself.

    I have one of those from Northern Tool and I've done a bunch of wheel/tire changes with it. They dont work with impacts but not too bad to hand crank every now and then.

    Now I have a 3/4 Hercules impact from HF that can rip off and reinstall all 10 lugs and not even drop one bar off the 12AH battery.

    The tool, 2x 12AH batteries and the charger were cheaper than buying just the Milwaukee tool.

    A smaller one might not be too bad. I bought ours for gauging the tracks on our 345 and it's a bit bulky.

    I think a 4:1 is a chore on a 180 degree turn. The 21:1 is slow as smoke off poo but it’s steady. Easy to manipulate under there etc. (from a few videos I’ve seen of them doing mains on facebook etc)
