I don't think a 12v one's going to be much use. You need at least 18v, preferably 24v. You're unlikely to get anything that's much good for £40. I bought a sealey one a year or so ago and it's very tough and reliable. I still use the 600mm breaker bar to crack the wheelnuts first, but it does them up perfectly. Miss it when I forget to charge it up.

Senior moment - it says 12v in the heading but I had somehow failed to notice that :?

I wouldn't mind one of those but I don't really do enough work to justify one now, as I get older I buy a longer breaker bar, I'm up to 3' so far.

Well speedy, we used to live in Platt, Comp Shute Cottages. Phone number Borough Green 3333.
