I figured I'd take one for the team today...returned a POS generator on the way home from work tonight, which consequently left me with $$ burning a hole in my pocket.
I recently switched over to the DeWalt plarform, but I couldn't get past the 370ft/lb spec on the HF gun for $139.
I've had a Snap-On 14.4V CT4410 for a while now, and it's served me well, but the batteries are getting a bit tired after 10 years...still has all its balls with batteries fresh off the charger, but if they sit for more than a week, it struggles.
I was skeptical, but the box said "made in Taiwan, battery cells made in Korea or Malaysia". Not China.
The battery fuel gauge showed full when it came outta the box. I slapped a socket on it went out to my 3/4 ton truck and went after a lug nut that hasn't been touched in over a year....it chewed on it for about 5 seconds and spun it off. All were torqued by hand to 150lb.ft at the last tire rotation. My old snap on couldn't touch it, and neither could my old composite ingersoll 3/8 gun with 170psi behind it.
Then I walked over to my salt water boat trailer...the dewalt 1/4" drive with an adapter made short work of those lugs, as did the old snap on. I marked the nut/wheel and both tightened the nut to about the same point. The Earthquake gun got another 3/4 turn out of it, and spun it off with ease.
I'm impressed so far, we'll see how long it lives.
