In addition to the tips that SEO9C1 listed, an impact wrench is a huge help in breaking loose corroded exhaust fasteners.

Have you considered a cordless to hold you over till you have your dollars saved up?

This one is cheap, but only makes 140 Ft. lbs.

This one is more expensive, but makes 220 Ft. lbs.

For reference, stock B-body lug nuts are supposed to be torqued to 100 ft. lbs. I've been using the same Harbor Frieght cordless impact since 2004 and use it often. I race (swap tires) 8 or more times each year, plus stuff around the garage. I hardly ever drag out the pneumatic one unless this one can't break it loose (almost never). It is the best money I've ever spent on an automotive tool.

Harbor Frieght also sells cheap impact sockets. They may be cheap, but I've never broken one.
wow never knew... good stuff
