In my expierence with lots of battry tools

Makita make the best, Tough, well made, great batteries

Better than Dewalt or Bosh, tougher than panasonic or Hitachi.

i brought a cheap clarke one, was crap the batterys didnt last at all, then i brought a snap on one of ebay for 80 and its brilliant,

the only one i've used was a snap-on one andwas very impressed, removed the sierra rear driveshaft nuts without much problem, so plenty of torque

i have a dewalt ,,it does the job but the makita is better

I know people with both mac and snap on guns, both said that when the guns were new they were crap but after you run the batteries through 3 or 4 charges they're absolutely amazing.

You definately get what you pay for.

That's the one I been looking at, I'm not in the trade but my son works at a motor factors not a zillion miles from you, he's getting me a price on it tomorrow but says the ebay price is pretty competitive.

I intend using it for work to, we occasionally put steel work up, M20 bolts, guess this would rattle it together ? Plan is get them to pay for it to.....
