Yeah it is T55 mate. But ensure you get a 1/2" drive. I tried with a 3/8" and it immediately broke

Get a decent one, for instance Ive seen Halfords ones sheer using the neccessary angle tightenings, that will hurt when it causes you to punch the car.

Definitely agree with that, though if he's in desperate need of one not sure if hellfrauds will be his only option or not?

Though I've used the hellfrauds 1/2" one with no dramas  :)
