To make it easier on the car I bought an impact spanner from Makita, model DTW301Z + 5 Ah battery (BL1850B).

I bought the spanner mainly with a view to changing wheels faster, but in reality it’s great for unscrewing everything else. For a total amateur, the power is more than enough, and because of its small size it fits easily in the boot – I’ll definitely be taking it with me on further trips”_.
