Thing is with mine, although on a really rusty stubborn bolt I use a breaker bar to crack it, thats not the bit that tires you out its winding a rusty bolt all the way in and out with a socket, and for that even the 24 is perfectly up to the job once you have done that initial cracking off of the bolt.

Couple of years now and other than some scuffs from being chucked about it still works and looks as new.
If I had paid twice as much for it, I'd still be happy with it TBH, im not saying its a profdessional grade product, but for the sort of use we have, its perfectly adequete and if it does get robbed at a trackday when I leave it lieing around in the pits im not going to lose too much sleep over it compared to if I had a 300 quid one.
