I just use a ratchet. The first time I changed the oil in my old car I had to take it back to Oil Can Henrys (where it had been changed many times before, including the time before) because I could not get the damn thing to budge, and neither could my brother, who is a lot stronger....they probably used an impact gun to tighten it :-\
