If you're going to be using it all day you need to go to a shop and hold it and see if it's comfortable to use and (most importantly) that the weight is good. make sure it comes with at least 2 batteries as well.

I've got a Makita BHP453SH (on offer from screwfix at the moment) and it's great. I've got the larger batteries though.

Hitachi are decent as well.

Went with the 458, used it today and its brilliant. Went through everything with ease. Would definitely recommend it. Is a bit heavier than the one SYM has got, but feels comfortable and fine when holding.
Got the second battery as well, and am now thinking about getting the matching impact driver. £140 at screwfix but only £90 on eBay, with a 3 year guarentee.
