I agree with Impact Wrench to get tough nuts off.

You have Two Choices; buy cheap and use sparingly and in non critical 
conditions OR buy quality, use it often and get spoiled by it.

I'm in between two camps, I am spoiled but have to borrow it when it 
comes time to make use of it. Better to own your own.

Another thought comes to mind re: dedicated tools- you might get a New 
breaker bar/ socket combo, say from a Diesel Truck tool supplier. Extra 
beefy; overkill is the way to go.
