Snap On its the best i never have it out my hand:whistle: :hahaha::hahaha:
They are not cheap £399+vat for the 18v one but its great for changing wheels at trackdays and what ever you like it has great battery life and torque for the tight bolts also the 2 hand guns make good money on fleeby
when you want to sell not that you ever will :thumbs:

Snap on for me. Like all their range, expensive but built to last. I wouldn't like to use an impact wrench without torquing them up manually after anyway.
However these look interesting. V.Cheap, not sure of their quality: Tonino Lamborghini (http://www.lamborghini.it/)

They do some nice shoes too! The Cool List (http://thecool-list.com/?p=2466) If only they did a smaller heel! :whistle:

The Sealey made stuff is good value for money.

Agree though that the snap-on impact is easily the best going. Just wish they would
pull their finger out and release a Lithium Ion version.

I have a Dewalt 18V and it works great. Those that complain they can't get a wheel nut off with one of these have it done up way too tight.

We have 2 snap on 18v guns for the garage, they save so much time working, but for trackdays are a luxury:gayfight:
