I'd suggest an impact driver, but it probably doesn't promote hub health :\.
Wheel nuts too tight!

Best way to snap something, either your bar or your wheel nuts, imo.Zip said:Put the thing that you use to undo the wheel nuts on the wheel nut. Then stand on it and bounce a few times and the wheel nut will come off nicely
Get some penetrating oil, some heat and a big breaker bar on it - else take it to a local garage and ask them to get their impact gun on them.
Blimey, I've really started something here haven't I? 
I'm taking the car to a mechanic friend of mine to see what the rattle is (nope, not the same guy that did the bolts up too tight
). Never had this problem before as I've always used a reputable tyre place I know or done it myself.

I have busted a T bar wrench, with my hands when trying to undo the nuts on my BM once when done by a gun!
I have done the bouncing thing on a BMW standard one before, worked fine. I also did it on the volvo a few times. However to do that i jumped from about a meter up and down onto the end, snapped them out fine about 8 times
(Although the volvo standard bar did start to bend a tad
