Here's my solution....



It's just the standard nut spanner, but with a meaty strike face welded on to it.

I strike it with this nylon coated 3lb Sealey dead blow hammer (S0545), which I can't overstate enough is an absolute game changer!



The combination of the two is perfect, a solid and broad striking face paired with the zero bounce effect from the dead blow hammer works brilliantly, the significant additional weight of the adapted nut spanner helps too, and because the dead blow hammer is nylon coated if you do suffer a miss-strike you're way less likely to cause any damage.

I do have a Lionel nut socket that I use with a telescopic and ratcheting breaker bar, but since moving to the above setup I now only use this combo for spare wheel removal, I adapted my T bar by replacing the T with another brass wheel nut so it takes a lot of turns to remove the spare.
