What torque wrench do you use?
I'm thinking I could use a decent torque wrench for changing wheels, etc. Anyone have experience with this Sears one?

I can't vouch for accuracy since I (and many of us here) don't have a way to test that. My wheels have not fallen off yet.

I hope I'm not hijacking the thread here, but I have a quick (and most likely dumb) question. I know you use a torque wrench when putting the lug nuts back on to tighten them to a specified torque and to make sure that you don't overtighten them, but can you also use the torque wrench to take the lug nuts off? Is something like this longer than the OEM lug nut wrench in the trunk such that it will provide more leverage and make it easier to remove the nuts?
Chuck, let us know which one you end up getting and how it works out. I (and I'm sure others)will follow your lead.

You can spend a little more money and get this:
