OT tools--gorilla wrench

some years back, my rental van blew a tire. Absolutely could not budge the lugnuts with the supplied wrench. Assistance arrived about an hour after I called, and only cost me about $25 more than my insurance covered.
Anyhow, the guy had a neat wrench package called a gorilla wrench.
Thought about picking one up, but held off. Last week, my van went for inspection. As normal, as soon as I returned home, I went to retorque the lugnuts. A couple of them were well over 100 ft-lbs, and my 3/8 wrench extension broke. Thought about what could happen on the road, and poked around to find the best deal on gorilla wrench. Got 1 for myself, and 1 each for sons-in-law.
Also had some words with the owner of the station which did the inspection--had a relatively new inspector.
