If you like the more traditional shaped handles but want better performing drivers, I wound up liking Swisstool. The tips of their flat head drivers especially are a life saver working on old guns and pinball machines with crappy but hard to replace screws.

Other honorable mention is Vessel ball handle drivers, they're really comfy if you've got painful hands.

    I got the chance to use one of those hammers on a knock off hub before, it weighs like 6-7 lbs and you've gotta swing it pretty hard because it needs 5x more torque on it than a normal lug nut to stay put. Rubber can't quite cut it.

    The modern upgrade is just use an actual nut and a comically long wrench if you don't have a pit crew.
