I've got a park one, spot on, had it for years and it has come in handy plenty of times.

Otherwise a Drill.

I had the park tools one and it was ok but hard to get really tight or undo stubborn ones.

This one is waaaaay better (but doesn't work on campag bolts as the park one does both)

I use an old butter knife with a piece of the end cut out. Works great and multi-functional too. 😛
