I picked up a draper one off amazon for a reasonable price and its been really good. Depends on what it will be for as they all cover different torque ranges.

The ones less than £30 are a waste of money, been through so many as they break so easily.
I bought one of these and use a breaker bar.

I'll try and dig out a link for the one I got and post it up, haven't had any problems so far and have used it a fair bit lately.

If for general use I would recommend a 1/2" drive minimum and steer clear of the cheap ones as sold by most, like these, I have destroyed a few over the years.
