Sorry chaps-I must have got in wrong, if you only want an occasional wheel nut torque then why pay for a branded name when something like the ARGOS challenge brand will do.
In my shed I have ARGOS 240v drill, orbital sander, hand car polisher, jigsaw, detail sander and they all offer more spec than the relevant black and decker at half the price, but then it is all down to the case of "unbranded",

Hey phil, your spot on mate, it is just for occasional use, but when the branded name is the same price, or a better one is available for just a little more I don't see the point of getting the Argos own brand Smile
