One step up from a Gerber and Swiss Army Knife, except no tool for "taking a boy scout out of horses hooves"Somewhere in the beginning of this thread there is also a picture of the tools, but this is what I got in my production car, and it isn't clear if the bag is Spanish or also the tools!

When you say referred to - where? It's what they are, albeit, I think there are subtle differences with tool heads, naming, etc.Thanks for that. Are they referred to as torx bits?
I may invest in a 1/2” impact nut driver. I already have Makita kit so probably will get a Makita 18v impact wrench to suit the batteries I already have. Do you have any clue what torque I would need
I always seem to hurt my back with wheel nuts even with a breaker bar. Maybe I’ll try a longer oneWhen you say referred to - where? It's what they are, albeit, I think there are subtle differences with tool heads, naming, etc.
What are you wanting an impact wrench for? Ones big enough to handle wheel nuts, chassis cross member nuts, etc, are quite expensive and will spend alot of time sat on a shelf/in a drawer. A long 1/2" breaker bar would be my first investment, if I was starting from nothing.

For the other, bigger work I have a complete set of tools in my Defender and may transfer some to the Grenadier
A length of scaffold pole or some stainless steam pipe helps; although there will be times that this may cause catastrophic failure to the breaker bar bolt.I always seem to hurt my back with wheel nuts even with a breaker bar. Maybe I’ll try a longer one
I have a 6 sided long reach socket from Halfords onto a long handled torque wrench, no slippage. I just checked the manual for the torque setting and it says 160 NM or as near as dam it 120 ft lbs, which is lucky because that's what I tightened mine up toI should have added that there's a T40 key in the Ineos toolkit, why that one and not the T30 for the bumper wing ends, or the T25 to remove the wing air intake...:

Wheel nuts are 22mm (well at least the steel ones are). The wrench provided seems heavy duty enough for the task, but I find that style have a tendency to roll off the nuts when applying real force.
Long bar with an extension and same socket. I will change all the nuts to capped ones soon, I just have to source a better set of locking nuts to match. The Ineos ones are rubbish!Have yet to check my wheel nuts for torque - I'm still in shock at how small they look...closer to my Smart than the old Defender.
What are you using to undo them?
LOVE my Wera. It's an addiction. Here in the US, we have a few online stores located stateside (and also Amazon Germany, etc).For the little things I bought this set:
