I have this wrench for about a year now and it is a beast, incredible torque. It removes rusty bolts with ease. Bought it after struggling undoing rusty bolts on my lawn tractor. Just needs to be careful on torque settings to not snap the bolts. Decided for the dewalt instead of the Milwaukee as it has a similar torque, is cheaper, and I can use the baterry on other dewalt tools I have. There are a few YouTube videos comparing both. Just Google it.

BOTH excellent. At least on a par with the much vaunted Japanese Makita
As for DeWalt being British - no. American. As are Milwaukee Only the odd cheapie make is assembled rather than made in UK these sad days. (I'm being told there are one or two DO manufacture in UK but names thin on ground)
Actually price here seems a bit excessive.

Not as good. Milwaukee are a class above dewalt and makita

Dunno,Milwaukee made in China, De Walt USA ...Milwaukee had battery overheating problems...I'm sure they share many similar parts...I'd put them as pretty even.

SEPCD60 gives 10% off everything over £60. It's not uncommon for them to up the discount to 15 or 20% throughout the weekend so it may be worth waiting to see if they do. I'll post the code here if they do.

I’ve got one, paid less but highly recommended they are a absolute beast.. it’s made short work of everything I’ve shown it so far. It will either undo it or snap it clean off

Milwaukee 1/2 set isn't much dearer than this . Can't comment on dewalt but the milwaukee matchs or beats snap on for power
