Hey guys.
I bought a Snap On CT4410 cordless 3/8" impact about 5 months ago & was never overly impressed w/ the nut busting tq (or lack thereof). So, my SO guy busted out the new CT8810 this week.... lithium ion powered..... I was hesitant until I finally got my hands on it. MEGA improvement in power over the NiCad CT4410!

Post some pics of it along with the charger and batteries. I ordered one last week. Anything you don't like about it? Does it have the same split second delay when you blip the trigger as the big half inch lithium gun has?

Sorry, can't post pics. The gun itself looks darn near identical to the 4410 w/ the exception of motor vents. Dimensionally it is the same also.
Yes, it has the same microprocessor delay as the 7850.... takes some getting used to.
I was extremely hesitant to purchase it due to it's $585 price tag but my SO guy did me right on trade in.
So far, there's nothing I dislike about it... am very impressed. It will absolutely take off fasterners that my 4410 wouldn't.

Have you tried any torque test? Tightening lug nuts to ** ft-lbs and then removing it afterwards?

Thanks, Chadster. I'm stoked to get mine. If its cut from the same cloth as the CT4410 then it'll be a great gun. I used mine daily for six years and I finally smoked the trigger switch and LED. That thing was tough. I used to get that thing so hot under hard use you couldn't touch the back lol.

GSteg-
I didn't conduct any official, proper, torque tests. I just locked a 1/2" bolt in my voice then ran a lock nut down w my Matco air gun. The Matco consistently tightens to 220 ft/lbs on the 2nd notch. My CT4410 didn't even think about taking it off so I grabbed the CT8810 & it RIPPED it right off. I'm telling ya....this thing is impressive.
My SO guy just released that he received 3 of these guns early this wk so i was one of the 1st guys locally to use one.

amlv20-sorry about the wait man....i hope you're as impressed as me when one finally makes its way to your box!

My 4410 was only 5 months old so I would assume its the latest version

Anxious to see what this thing is capable of. The W7150 competes with my 1/2" gun but the W5130 is not quite as powerful as my 3/8"ers. If the CT8810 can compete with the air equivalent, then it's going to be hard for me not to make an early Christmas present to myself.

Interesting, the. That would mean this new CT8810 must be a monster. I would love to know what that actual voltage the LiIon battery is putting out and take a few measurements with a good meter on the motor to see if the new model is producing more torque because the motor is spinning faster or can the battery and motor process a higher current throughput.

By any chance is the new one brushless?

Something else that I forgot to mention....the 8810 is 18v, so I'm sure that contributes to its big power.

Where in Indiana? My driver didn't have any on the truck but I didn't ask either I figured he would try to push it on me if he did

I would be interested if somebody who uses the 18 volt battery on the 4410 could do a comparison to the 8810. The 4410 really wakes up with the 18 volt battery.

Matt-
Near central IN.
My SO guy & I talked about an 18v LiIon 3/8" gun for the last few months & he didn't have any word about it.......until this wk when he posted its arrival on Facebook. He didn't push the 8810 too hard, that's not his style. But, we worked a deal where I walked off the truck w a 7850 & the 8810

I have no proof but I think this is what caused the death of my CT4410's trigger switch. I started using my 18V batteries on it about a month or so ago and it did wake up a lot but now it's DOA. Could just be that it's six years old and used hard but........
It's interesting to note that upon disassembly for repairs the switch says embossed in it "12-24V DC" so I don't know but it's awfully coincidental it **** the bed soon after using 18V batteries on it regularly.

Mine came in today and it got right to work on a lower intake gasket and water pump. Yeah, this thing is way stronger than my old CT4410 and it's lighter. My dealer gave me too good a deal in trade on my broken (bad trigger switch) CT4410 to pass up.

I got mine this afternoon ready to rip tomorrow on some jobs used it on a few bolts today. Took off a 2013 ram 1500 new truck lug nut without any complaint at all. More testing to come. It's in Indianapolis for sure that is 2 of us in central Indiana that came up with it.

I never said i was comparing 3/8 guns, just guns.

When i talked to my guy he said it doesn't have TQ control. Can anyone confirm this?

Edit: question already answered

COO on battery and COO on gun? The site is a bit fuzzy. Says USA on the impacts but the sets list China.

I' e been told by two other CT4410 users who started using the 18V batteries that their LED's burned out within the first week of changing to those batteries.

I have went through two motors on my 4410's but no led's yet while using 18 volt batteries. I don't know if I will be upgrading or not, in my opinion, there is enough power for a 3/8" impact with the 18 volt battery on the 4410.

That's quite powerful! What's the torque spec on the Ram?

The IR W5130 is pretty powerful in itself, but it'll max out around 130 ft-lbs (freshly torqued).

The CT8810 3/8" is more powerful than the W5130, but W7150 is more powerful than the CT7850. I guess you can't win it all.

Same thing I'm thinking. I'm using the 18V batteries on my 3/8 and they are NiCad and I'm not having any issues. Mine throws sparks out of the motor housing!

I'd say wait till yours shits the bed before upgrading. The CT4410 is still a great tool. I worked the piss out of one for six years. No need to get rid of a working tool.
