Almost as good is the 3/8" drive adapter we picked up yesterday. It is
designed to fit in the chuck of a drill and initial tests on the race car
were quite fun. It's not as quick as an air wrench but for $2 it's
quick enough! Right Scott?
(I want to tighten this one! No, you did the last two, it's my turn!
OK but I'll do the lug nuts.)
