What does your 12x reducer look like? I have a torque multiplier but I think it's only 4x. I bought a nice little lug wrench stand from Northern Tool for truck wheels. It is infinitely adjustable and holds the extension at just the right height for the lug nut.
How much torque do you calculate is lost in the mutliplier gearing?
