I got it on tuesday, used it lastnight and loved it.
The last bolt i couldn't reach with it i had to use a spanner and a hammer to get it undone

Have you used it for a lot of bolts yet?
My brother had a £400 one that I don't know the make of, the batteries were always overheating, he went through 3 or 4 before deciding that it's just worth getting the snap-on one instead.

I only really want it for removing bolts, not sure i'd trust it doing them up, i'd only check with the wrench afterwards anyway

Hmmm, not too bad I suppose. Is still a fair chunk of cash though. I can see what you mean Mister Meal.

I've been very impressed with the quality of the Halfords' ones, surprisingly enough.
I've got some really pretty, anodised Wurth ones with white nylon sleeves and they look terrible before long, two uses and the anodising is going for a Burton and the nylon looks filthy and scored and shit.
The Halfords' ones are a sort of light satin gun metal with coloured sleeves. They seem to wear better and retain their appearance better.
They're very nicely finished. And reasonably priced too, if I remember correctly.
