Depends...

on what task you want to take on
CP - Chicago Pneumatic are the industry choice for pneumatic wrenches & chisels
ARO the same
FESTOOL drills & polishers...actually FESTOOL are the Dogs Ballcocks for most power tools with the exception of Feins Multi master (which also comes in pneumatic)

if you aren't using the air tool on a continuous basis (trade / industry) look for the low cost deals at tool store such as Machine Mart or on line

the rule is you get what you pay for..
 BREXIT - done properly.
Right now ...We need Government - not Politics
Save the Dipstick Flagbearer-keep it simple, less likely to fail campaign-agenda items:Starting Handles, Acetylene Lamps.
Founder: Dipsticks-R-Us Inc
D3 HSE-perfectly formed, passenger friendly...has real DIPSTICK
Jag XK-but sadly no DIPSTICK...HUGE design fault
FL2 has DIPSTICK..."real comfort in rear seats"
VW Golf wondermobile (?)..has real DIPSTICK
Morris Minor..original DIPSTICK technology..and a real KEY.

For occasional use Clarke are good value for money, but for regular and reliability you cannot beat Snapon although you do pay a premium. One of my moat used air tool is the needle scaler which I use for cleaning any signs of surface rust.

Take care when choosing your tools, make sure your compressor has a big enough cfm rating. Nowt worse than running out of air and having to wait for the recievr to fill up. Thumbs Up

.........^^^^^...................^^^^^^^
@ Tank ......Totally agree.

I suggest that ppl read reliable refs on-line and scale their compressor to accommodate for the highest pressure, and air thru' put tools they are likely to buy up to.
Buy High Performance - buy once.

The ones sold occasionally by Aldi seem in all respects apart from price to be identical to the Clarke ones. So probably also occasional use only.
