Like what Pete @gookah mentioned in his post mate. Snap-on were probably the first to offer them. Problem with them is that, this is their only use really, and they were quite expensive. Ok of your employer supplied them I suppose.

I trust nobody with my wheel nuts after a local tyre garage put the first set of tyres on the M and it took me and @Lee and a long bar to undo them. If I see a torque wrench just clicking and not moving they get told. But luckily where I take the Zeds now dont use windy guns to put wheels back on, just to remove them, they use spiders and torque wrench #proffessionals 
Fair comment Niall, but there's nothing wrong with using impact wrenches to run nuts up. Operator error is the key thing here.

I was just checking something on my 330, and noticed a couple of top tips...
Spin the wheel as you lower it, when it grips, stop the jack and torque the bolts.
For low cars - Lower to the ground slowly. This will mean the suspension is still quite high when the jack is released and you can get it out from under the car.

Yep, used to see it in the Oil & Gas business when kit was put together and it leaked.
