Snap-on is the only job for impact guns imo,a couple of lads have bought cheaper makes in work and they are crap..one in particular couldnt take wheel nuts of a car so then we tried the snap-on and it removed them no problem..he got a bit of slaggin over that!!the snap-on gun is about 600 quid though but probably the best tool ive bought to date,ive had it about 3 years now and hasnt let me down..

personal choice really lads but i find snap on tools better to use and no quibbles with warrenty, just replaced straight away, i find wit teng ur told they have to send em off and if u do get warrenty its bout 6months befor u get a replacment, buy teng if u wanna be rounding nuts and bolts, 90 percent of mechanics wit any inerest have snap on, teng are grand for handy men.

i have spent alot of money on tools and 90% of what i have is teng i find no problem with them or there warinty just walk into my local dealer pick up what ever broke (normally allen key or torque bits never had trouble with other stuff) walk up to the counter hand them the old broken one and say im taking that one grand job done!!! but i no all the lads realy well there so they always sort me out on stuff,

as for people saying teng or crap this and that i put most of the storys down to the person useing them! i have never once rounded a nut or bolt with a teng socket or spanner unless the nut or bolt was already damaged in which case it would round with what ever make of tool u put on it

the only down sides i find with tend they can not make a decent pair of snips or vice grips knipex is the only snips! i even have a lidl snips in my box that id better than the teng ones i have and would only ever buy irwin vice grips and tengs new line of rachets are dirt do not but the fiber/plastic type as they fall apart and the metal ones if you are getting them make sure you get the ones that screw apart not the ones with the circlip
