i cut the end of a extension bar and then put on the socket needed. Works a treat. And the best part is i managed to convert my lawn mower to electric start. Gotta love dewalt :D

My bet is the cordless wont crack the nut loose.
Goto the spares and buy a $50 12volt impact driver..

Yeah I agree, my air rattle gun won't crack them if they're too tight, so a drill isn't gonna have anywhere near the torque....

You can buy them from bunnings... mate of mine has one... beats doing wheel nuts up by hand in the bush.
