LOL, I know I'm just buggin' you. My stalls are right next to the light body guy at work. I see this all the time. Now, back on topic....I'm waiting for my SO man to get one of those on the truck so I can demo it, they look promising!

 

[ecksman]

its cost an arm and a leg but its pretty freaking cool. i wouldn't give it back. i got it more for side work when i dont have air available

That's BMW for you.

Nice gun.

 

[redwrench60]

So...now that you have some trigger time what do you think overall. Any dislikes? Is it heavy? loud as hell? Does that electric brake work well? Would you change anything?

 

[ecksman]

i like it. i've only had it for 3 days. its not gonna replace my air gun when I'm in my bay. it is heavy when compared to my air gun, probably double the weight. the light is very bright and the anvil brake feature works better than i thought, it stops as soon as u release the trigger.

 

[ecksman]

i don't like how batteries and charger aren't compatible with the older ones. now i have to find a spot for another charger. it came with a tote bag which is a lot more useful than the stupid black cases that sat behind my box for a year before i decide to throw them out

I have the 6850 and love it, especially for side work. However, I wouldn't want to use it for interior work. The cordless 3/8" is much lighter, and has plenty of power for all but the most stubborn seat bolts.

totally agree with u on the cordless 3/8. it is definitely the most useful tool i own. without it, my paycheck would be smaller.

 

[redwrench60]

From appearances the 7850 seems to be the big brother of the cordless 3/8 impact which I have. If it's anything like this trusty tool then I'll have one.

 

[ecksman]

also like the variable trigger that my 3/8 also has. whats weird is that my friend who bought his 3/8 cordless impact a year after me isn't his trigger is "on/off"

All of them I've handled are variable speed triggered, I wonder if your buddy's has a bad trigger. Thats one of the selling points.

 

[mrshaun]

the 3/8 is variable, have him send it in....

Mine is sitting at the Ups store waiting for me to ick it up. Did yours come with the light attachment that goes on top of the battery?

nah, i was lil upset about that. i could of sworn it did but never found anything saying it it was supposed to. i just told the snap on guy to order one for me. i also ordered a mobile charger for batteries

 

[Todd.Brock]

Yeah, mine didnt either. I thought that it was supposed to. Someone here had a set that came with one. I passed for 80 bucks on the flash light. im like a little kid with this thing!

 

[chadster1]

The kit does not normally come with a light

 

[Octarine]

I liked the impact so much I picked up the drill to replace my 2004 Milwaukee hammer drill. Once I move i'll do a comparison between the two.

Chad,

The kits here include the bag, two batteries, the charger and the light. Do they have different deals in different sales areas?

 

[Octarine]

The included light was a promo. I didnt get it with the impact but did with the drill. Pretty darn bright little lite. You had to preorder sets to get the light at nc

That makes sense now, my guy always gets the promo deals and I know he ordered a few extra on this one.

 

[chadster1]

Chad,

They only come with the light if a dealer ordered the 4 pack (3 impacts, one drill). The normal kit configuration does not include the light.

 

[Todd.Brock]

Octarine,I saw that you had yours for sale in classifieds. Do you not like it?

 

[Reality Sucks]

nice impact. i toyed with one my friend had used it for taking off wheels. no problem at all. On a side not and somewhat off subject, can i get pics of that red krl1022 with the hutch left in pic. I was always curious what it looked like..

 

[Octarine]

Todd, I made the mistake of using it. I promptly took it off sale

 

[Todd.Brock]

Gotcha! I was curious about that....

 

[mrshaun]

chad we have the same deal. im sure it was a nationwide thing if you ordered the pack

 

[metal4130]

Snap On dealers, do you know if the CT6850 or CT6855 is going to be discontinued? I see that both of these are not in stock right now so I suspect that is the case. Any details?

 

[mrshaun]

nope no plans to discontinue it... They put more effort into the new guns that are selling like crazy. I need a 3 7850's and 2 6850's just to fill backorders...

They are currently taking orders for the CT6850 all the way thru June so there are no immediate plans to discontinue. I would imagine it would depend on how sales are on the CT6850/6855 going forward now that the 7850 is available.

Just curious I don't own any cordless snap on tools but I just bought the 12volt Dewalt cordless impact and that little beast just wrecks havoc on any thing it touches; it is very lightweight and just a joy to use. I don't know how much the CT7850 costs new but my dewalt was not all that much money.

I also own the 18volt size and that is also very nice but it weighs a ton did you not like the dewalt line of tools?

What makes the CT7850 so special?

 

[mrshaun]

 

[woody 73]

Thank you for that information, I did learn that it weighs less then my 18 volt dewalt and it does come with a light. I was just wondering can you take the battery pack to a batteries plus shop and get it rebuilt; or do you need to get that done by snap on?

Thanks Woody

You'd be hard pressed to find any place to rebuild Li ion batteries now.

 

[mrshaun]

truckdriver i think you are correct.
as long as we can still get the nicad batteries we will keep running with the ct6850 and as long as they keep selling of course.

which one you think is stronger and better snap on ct7850 or ingersoll w7150

 

[bigenos]

I have a Milwaukee 28V cordless impact and it's great. I use it mainly for lugnuts, but I've used it for other things, too. Only issue I have is that it's hard to fit in some places, but I think the newer units of all brands are smaller.
