As titled, I need to invest in one now. Can anyone recommend a decent one? I'm looking to spend around £70-£120 for one, possibly more. Links to models would help.

I bought a second hand sealey cp2400 320lb/f one, it didn't work, then bought a reconned one and it didn't work got another 2 sent out, they didn't work, then bought a brand new one, it managed 2 wheel bolts EVENTUALLY then smoke came out it and then the square end didn't turn even though the motor turned.
Picked up a clarke £60 230v one and it works fine.

Having used many diffo ones in a hgv environment
I would not waste your £100 on a cheap one. The snap on half inch ones are amazing bits of kit.
If it's only 3/8 you need. The bluepoint one is also brilliant. I use mine daily and it still goes as well as 2 years ago

u2u SR91, he has some 'cheap' Snapon items going if you're interested. He can't seem to shift them.

why not buy a compressor and get a gun that way, compressor opens up many options

I'm assuming he needs the poratability factor.

Yeh I have got a compressor and some air tools but it's a bit of a pain in the ass rigging it up and it can be tempremental getting up to pressure etc. so just wanted something quick, easy and as said, portable.

Owned by Snap-On (or at least they used to be, fairly sure they still are?). I have a blue-point windy but it broke, parts were easily available though so it's now fixed!
