it's like gator-grip, or snake bite, or something stupid like that, but it's meant for grabbing water fixtures, opening jars, etc

I don't think this will suffice in this instance, 'cause lug nuts are on good and tight (80 ft lbs and higher) and those rubber handle things are only meant for like 30-40 ft lbs at the most.
