New snap on ctr714 1/4 cordless ratchet 14.4v

[shockwave]

Just saw this in the new flyer from my dealer with a few videos on YouTube aswell specs look close to my ctr725 which I believe is underpowered on the spec sheet has a lot more power than my Milwaukee m12 in my road box

But speed is still 350rpm
Torque is up from 30 to 35
Size is closer to the Milwaukee
Tapered head design for tight spots
Only available in red now but I am sure colors are in the works though

Anyone try these yet?

Looks cheaper in my opinion. Nice that the over all length has been reduced but they should of improved something tangible like speed (450-500 would be sweet). Its made for them in Taiwan.

That is my concern since my ctr725 has taken quite a beating and still going strong

And the rpms are a good thing to have with these and help a lot for big jobs like valve cover gaskets

Yup got one today. Got that and the new 3/8. I also have both m12 milwaukees. The snap on ones are much stronger and rpm is way faster. Are they worth the price? Prolly not, LOL. But in my opinion they are much better and will actually break bolts loose.

What is the new 3/8" ? Is it upgraded over the CTR761B?

Just traded my Milwaukee in for this today, love it so far. Much faster, wish it had a better warranty tho.

I'll probably trade my current 1/4 snap on 14.4 for it. I could use the fresher batteries anyways

At first I wasn't sold on it. I told the guy ny Milwaukee was cheaper and had a better warranty. Only complaint was that it was a little slow, and my air ratchet was a lot faster. He whipped out a few bolts to turn, some demo piece I guess. He told me to grab the Milwaukee and that we'd see which is faster. He even gave me a 2 second head start and beat me by a long shot. Not sure it really matters, but it was enough to sell me at the time (sigh)


The snap on man is not our friend.
