Top tip is to ask the garage/tyre place not to blast the ugga dugga at your wheel bolts but instead torque them to spec. The air ratchet will almost certainly be far tighter than it needs to be.
That said I could not get the old place to do this, so I got into the habit of slackening the bolts with a breaker bar and then torquing to spec whenever it'd been in for wheel work.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a decent wheel nut wrench (or brace)?
I'm unsure whether to sink £50 on a heavy duty long ratchet driver or just get something specific like this telescoping product from Lazer.
