run time

[jdh123]

i was looking into getting a snap on ct4850 ho impact wrench and i was wondering how long the battery lasted while working.

I can easily get a couple of days out of a single charge but, it depends on what you're doing with it. If you can believe Snap on propaganda, they say that the 4850 removed 71% more 7/8 bolts torqued to 200 foot pounds than the IR and Dewalt models. I'm not sure how that would equate to time. They have a link on the Snap on website for the mother of all impacts. The link is largely a sales pitch but, it's entertaining. There is one statement I agree with though, everyone else tries to make their cordless impact as good as the 4850.

i already have the makita lith ion 18v and the batteries last along time, but their 1/2" impact *****

I cant help you here with the ct4850 (although I have its sister, the cordless drill, and the batteries last a long time), but just a bit of message board advice. Not everyone reads every thread, so a title like "run time" describes very little of the info you want, to a possible poster. I actually passed over the thread several times before getting bored of not seeing anything new, so I read it.

Suppose the thread read:
"Expected run time of the Snap On CT4850 battery charge"

That way, anyone that could have info to help, will see exactly what the thread is about, and therefore have a better chance of that person opening the thread, and not just passing it over.
