Lag bolts! Lag bolts! Lag bolts! Last year I drove and removed 50+ lag bolts with my 18V rechargeable drill, along with many other demands on the drill, without even going to my spare battery.
Cost: about $1.20 each, plus about $.15 for chain. Effort/annoyance saved: priceless. Every person who has seen lag bolts being installed/removed, if they've ever touched rebar, has had an enlightenment experience. I'm never going back to rebar.
