CTR868/CTR862 - Snap On High Output Brushless 3/8

[2ndGearRubber]

Saw these on TikTok earlier this week, anyone put their hands on one?

It's 80ft/lb, 200rpm, with the ring shaped light. My dealer told me it's essentially a brushless version of the Brute. The regular brushless 3/8 (CTR867) is 60ft/lb and 275rpm. The "Brute" 3/8 (CTR762) is 70 ft/lb and 175rpm. I'm thinking I'm going to trade in my brushless long neck, for a long neck 868. I just bought the regular brute about a month ago, not sure I would trade that in unless I got a great deal.

Or trade in both for a fresh pair of max-output brushless Brutes! LOL

Let's ask Steve_P what he thinks about them for a DIYer.

Got my dealer to hold me one, long neck. Guess I'll be the first on GJ.

Had my regular Brute show up an M12 insider today (as expected) so I'm amped to have even more grunt.

But…200 rpm vs. 350 rpm.

Brute removed it. Insider just jerked back and forth. Couldn't even break it free with a neutral drop from 350rpm.

I spun up the Brute and just ripped it right out like it wasn't tight.

EDIT: I like the high rpm of my long neck brushless, but the higher torque and lower speed is just superior for how I use the tool. It seems like it takes so much longer, but the higher speed tools just don't have the torque to break things free or keep pushing through rust, corrosion, or locktite.

OP isn't a DIYer. Feel free to buy one and tell us how it is since you're pretty much the main Snap On fanboy here.

OK now that you're here, you're supposed to tell the OP how he's wasting his money with the Snap-on and that he should buy the Milwaukee instead. Let's hear it.

That Snap-on price would be pretty hard to swallow for almost anyone. My opinion is that I don't buy anything from Snap-on that they do not make. Snap-on doesn't make battery operated tools. If you can figure out who built that one you could get it for about one quarter to one third of the price. Plus you could get parts when it fails.

well then please share with us who actually makes the cordless tools for SO and where are they available for one quarter of the price @seber

There's a high probability that Snap-on manufactures their cordless tools at the Murphy North Carolina Facility.
