That looks from a style/casing/shape to be identical to my Sealy 24v one.
I have used the Sealy on all the 2008 race season and its performed very well indeed. Plenty of torque but this does drop off when the battery is 50%
used.
I personally would spend the extra 30 quid and get a Sealy one.
HTH?

I bought a MacAllister 14.4V Cordless 1/2" drive Impact Wrench/Driverfrom B&Q model COD144VID --- so far as been excellent --- small
enough to get into awkward places & battery charge lasts a long time --- but a 2nd battery pack is supplied in the case
It won't however cope with wheel nuts for that I use one of those ones that run off the car battery.
Cost was about 70 pounds

i have got a bosch gds18 it will do pretty much everything. managed to get the subframe bolts etc out the sierra couldnt do the rear hub nuts though.
my mates £500 dewalt 400nm jobie did them though 
its the age old case of you get what you pay for. i paid £260 for the bosch which come with a set of impact sockets two batterys and a 30min charger.
all i can say is that im very happy with it.
Anything With Tits or Wheels Will cost you MONEY!!

Don't buy on torque as the main criteria-- long power bars are better for dealing with really tight nuts -- Choose one that is small enough
to get into awkward places -- look for short body.
I recently had to change the rear engine mount on a Rover 45, no way would I have got in with spanners or a ratchet but my impact gun got in without
trouble and saved about 3 hours fiddling.
Also remember you will use it for tightening bolts -- anything from 8mm up for which you need good control of the torque.

I'll second the Sparky one- Have used one at work for a year and was so impressed i bought another for myself for use on the car. Its quite
small and manouverable for getting in tight places and comes with 2 batteries.
Wonderous is our great blue ship that sails around the mighty sun, and joy to everyone that rides along!
