I'm fancying one of these for my home workshop.

I'm in the market for a budget range tool (Milwaukee is very nice but overkill for what I need/frequency of use).

Can anyone recommend a decent tool with 2 batteries for up to £100?

...Sealey seems to fit the bill?

Cheers

I have a Milwaukee brushless version that I use at work, and it is amazing. Expensive, but so, so good. I use other Milwaukee stuff so had the batteries already but that said I currently have a knock-off battery in it and it's fine.
The sealey ones are not supposed to be much good, and are still fairly expensive.
I'd either get a decent one, or try one of the £25 Chinese efforts from ebay.

Did you read the reviews on Auto Express for cordless impact drivers?:

https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/accessories-tyres/65...

The 'GMC 18v Brushless Impact Driver GMBL18ID' was very well received for the price of £124 if you can up the budget a bit.

(actually, another read of those reviews and the 'Draper Storm Force 20v 1/2in Impact Wrench 43785' seems a better buy altogether at the same price)

...not impact wrench, I have a Kielder one of those which is impressive

I'm talking of a ratchet wrench and the Sealey one seems to get decent reviews.

I'm looking for something like this as well, really handy when taking stuff apart that requires dozens of small bolts to be removed.

....yes, specifically the undertray panels on my Evora!

I'll probably go Sealey as they seems to get decent reviews and are available for around £85

I use a sealey one on a regular basis with my work. Works well for the price plus the two batteries fit other tools in the range like the 3/8 impact gun etc. If you're anywhere near Birmingham you can try mine before you buy.

Thanks for the kind offer Shogun, unfortunately I'm 3.5 hrs from Brum so I'll just take a punt and buy the Sealey.

Cheers
