    Ok personal experience says
    Snap on 18v one is the dogs, the sealey 18v one just as good. Clarke 19.2v is good too

    Don't bother with 12v one unless you intend on using on small bolts/loose ones

    It is a shame there is no one who can do a direct comparison between them. I don't doubt that the Snap-On one is good, but I bet you can get one just as good for a fith of the price.

    OK, an example. Not a wrench OK, but an LED flashlight I bought for 99p with £12 worth of fuel from the local BP station. Here is mine:




    Here is the Snap-On one:

    we have one at work, cant remeber the name of it but it was about £120, but it does work really well, supposed to have a 300lbft capacity, but it undone the hub nuts on the old astra with no problems, you pay for what you get i think with things like this.

    GOT E30 YER
    Got a couple of mates who have the 18v sealy and the 18v snap-on, snap on is 300quid and the sealy was 130 including postage off ebay. The sealy works just the same if you ask me.
