Another vote for the snap-on18v here, mine has never failed me yet, even on bd tight hub and crank pulley nuts. I bent a meter bar once trying to get a crank nut off-went and got the impact gun and it was as if it wasnt even tight. Amazing bit of kit-will break bolts clean off if you are a bit hamfisted.
Thirded, mine gets used daily and it never misses a beat. Pricey but when costed out over a year, peanuts really. What I want now is the rollout gun tool storage side cab for my roll cabI've gone through several of the cheapy ones, my third one is still going but the batteries are crap.
Recently bought a used 18v SnapOn one & its awesome, battery lasts about week in general workshop use, as opposed to a morning for the cheap ones. It can undo Toyota JZ engine crank pulley bolts which is really something!!! (Normally requires a 10ft bar )
Also have the wee 3/8 drive snap on one, thats equally as brilliant for its size, ideal for sub 12mm bolts.
Having never bought anything SnapOn before I'm very impressed

I love Snap on stuff. Just upgraded the tool storage this week to a 78" full top and bottom jobbie, in black with stainless trim! Looks well sexy. My other cab is coming home so I can have something flash to store my bike tools in instead of all over my spare room. Thining of getting a custom black and white Steve McQueen "leMans" skin made for it

I already have one mortgage, don't need another one to buy a Snap-On cabinet, as much as I'd love one. Because its work related I can write it off against tax and depreciate it so it doesn't cost in the long run. Plus I use Snap on trade card so I don't have to fork out wads of cash in one go. I know what you mean about the cost though. Pretty eye watering for what it is but if quality matters then it's a no brainer. I remember when I bought my first one all those years ago and the mrs said "what tools did you get with it" errr it was empty sweetheart
