Another option is to have a look at the new bosch impact wrench/driver. It has a 1/2" square drive with the 1/4" hex drive inside the square, would be quite a handy tool.
those bosch units with the 1/2 & 1/4 are nice but still lack the power for bigger jobs, using one for wheel changes etc will burn it out
