The best impact wrench are the snap on ones, a bit expensive though.
There is a review on other wrenches in this months car mechanics magazine, so if you can grab a copy.

Agree with Danny on the Ingersol Rand but well out of your budget.

Have a look for some Chicago Pnuematic(cp) windy guns.

I thought the OP was asking for a battery powered wrench?
I have the 14.4v and 18v snap on impact wrenches, and they are everything but ghay  :grin:

I got a good one from Machine Mart...... A Clarke mains powered one. Its heavy duty and does the job quite well. It was £64 pounds.

I've also got one of them. They are very powerful so be careful.
A big negative though is the lack of variable trigger, so its either on or off, and that can be tricky with so much power!
