Looking for a photo comparing the size of the snap on 7.2v impacts and the Milwaukee m12... I'm trying to decide what one I want to go with.

Thank god this is not the thread i thought it was going to be judging by the title... I think there pretty similar in size, you'd really have to hold them all to really see which feels the best in your hands

The Milwaukee is bigger, but will beat the snot out of the snap on. I'll try to get a pic tomorrow if one hasn't been posted by then.

The snap on one is looking like **** lol... My buddy has the bit driver version and half the time you have to break the bolt loose by hand first.... I just started at a Toyota dealership as an oil tech so all the work we do is pretty light. I may grab a snap on impact for the house though since I do heavy duty work at home.

I have the Bosch and I've used the Snap-On tool you're looking at, and I'll say they're both outdated. M12 Fuel kicks both of em out of the park. Though I went with the new IR 12v system to replace my Bosch 12v recently; I didn't like the Milwaukee ratchet and I wanted a ratchet, 3/8 impact and 1/4 hex driver. The clutch on my Bosch driver was worn out so it was time to upgrade. I'm glad I went with IR. Not quite as compact on the impact as M12, and a little more cost, but they're well made, fit my needs very well and I'm down to two battery chargers in the box again.

The 7.2's were about the only game in town back when they first came out. I think I got mine in 06 or 07, the first day they showed up on the truck. I've broken 3 of the hex drivers, all warranteed, by snapping bolts loose manually. By todays standards, it is very underpowered. I do have another at home that works great for my RC cars, that's about it now. My co-worker has a small makita of similar size that will also kick the **** out of the snap on. I've been pretty impressed with the m12 line so far.
