I bought the MATCO last year and at the same time a buddy that I wrench with alot with bought a Snap On. After using them side by side I would say the Matco has a little more ***. I just had a battery go bad, didn't die but the charge indicator would flash on and off with out touching it but still held a charge fine, while the snap on has been through a set of batteries. I got a little better deal on MATCO and have dealer support every week, where as I don't really see a snap on guy. This thing has been through hell and still beats like new. Just recently pulled 32 studs in a super duty after someone tried to install a after market set of wheels with the wrong lug nuts, she was pretty hot but I was still able to put the wheels on and checked torque and they were plenty tight. I still find myself using air a lot because of the size of these things.

Just replaced my 24 year old power tools with these..
Nice! That is a complete set. I have an IR w7150, a Bosch ps21-2a and I'm ordering an IR5130 this week. All I really need is a drill, the ratchets don't really appeal to me, although if u was offered one I would use it.

Nice!!
I ordered the milwaulke m18 today. I have a m18 drill, 1/4 hex bit impact, and led light. I love them and they have been worth the price. I hope the impact gun is as good. It says 1100 lbs to break a bolt loose..........thats as good as my ir 2135 timax. If it does close to as good as my air impact I will be a happy guy. I will also buy the grease gun. I already have 2 big batteries, so I should have plenty with 2 more.

You are missing the 1/4 impact and the new micro drill just kidding
I just ordered the impact gun. Pics will come when I get it. I ordered it through work, our parts division sells tools, and my cost is slightly more than the cheapest place online. I get money taken out of my paycheck so its kimda nice. I will post a pic when it comes in. I hope it will be friday!

Guys, I hope everyone revives this thread because I love to see all the different types and model of cordless impact from around the world. I want to see what kind of stuff people from across the pond have that people in the US may not have access to.
Anyways, here is my stuff.
Just missing my 1/2 Milwaukee Fuel Compact Impact Wrench I keep in my car and a Metabo Brushless 1/2 Impact Wrench, not sure which model but it is the newest brushless one.. It is on the way in the mail. Will post pic when I get it.
So don't be afraid POST pic of YOUR Impacts. May it be the most expensive snap on or a cheapo harbor freight model. Variety trumps quality in this case.

Very nice collection stikman. Snap ons are quite damn pricey. What model is your IR? How do you like it? I'm thinking of getting a IR cordless ratchet so I have the battery and charger for a IR impact. Any opinion between the 20V vs the 12V?
I sell 'em actually. The IR was a W7150, only one I've had so far. It was stupid strong. Pretty nice, although for my personal wrenches, it's ni-cad batteries. I don't care for the li-ion's.

Been a tech for 10 years and don't own one. That's what an air hammer is for
But I've been eyeing one lately
