My cheapo air impact gun crapped out last weekend. It had done 10 months. I got a full refund from Screwfix though, no questions asked and I didn't even have the receipt (I was actually amazed/impressed by how helpful and easy they were with it all).

This lot was advertised for £40

I quite wanted an air drill anyway and it's a reasonable one, but the real gem was the impact gun. It's a pukka industrial one. Immense 450lb/ft and the amazing thing is how efficient it is - only needs 6.5bar and only uses 4.8cfm, that's way way less pressure and consumption than the cheapo one, for way more power. And it's a damn site quieter 8-)
Couldn't have afforded to buy one new, so am well lucky to have picked it up so cheap :D

That gun looks like an ingersoll rand, fantastic tools! I have an electric one and am very impressed with it.
