Overall Auto Express rating

4.0

RRP

from £104

Price: £104.99
Hose: 40 metres

If money was no object, we’d have this on our wall. It’s pricey, but you get a 40-metre hose and top-notch connectors.

Winding mechanism was slower than similar rivals’, but still effective. Top quality if you can afford it, but our winner will be enough for most.
