Snap on lithium ion 1/2 impact

[Tim3107]

Does anyone have any reviews with it ? I'm considering buying one anyone know how it compares to the Milwaukee one ? I am an auto tech and use my tools daily .
P.s new member so not sure on correct location for question but any advice would be great thank you

I would be interested in this as well. Feel free to throw the W7150 into the mix too.

Welcome Tim3107. Perfect spot.

I have the ct7850. It's got a little more oomph than the m18 Milwaukee I had. I don't know how it compares to the fuel but I'll say it has pulled Honda crank bolts with ease.

I'm a tech and I use it daily. Edited to add: i have the snap on 7850. I can't imagine life with out It. I haven't send a bolt that could be busted. And I work on all kinds of stuff the only time I have trouble is getting in to tight spots. But that what the 3/8 8810 is for

 

[Tim3107]

That looks pretty sweet do you use it everyday ? What's battery life like ?

I want that green one.

I own the 1/2" lithium impact from snap on, I've had it for almost a year. I've had it warrantied twice, once because I dropped it of the lift at about 7'. But I dropped it off there a few times before it cracked. That was my fault but my dealer is great. I just had it warrentied a second time because it was acting up. The motor got replaced and the switch was also replaced. I'm happy they fixed it but I'm upset it's been a little less then a year and the motor was shot. I actually think it was the trigger that was shot and the motor was fine possibly.

Anyway the gun is heavy at first but it's great because it works very well and has no air line to drag around. With that said I still have my mg725 and need it. The cordless fails on things like popping pipmon arms and anything that requires speed. The mg spins at 10000 rpm compared to 2500 rpm. In other words for cars and light duty trucks the codeless works awesome and I rarely get out the mg.

Also to you guys with the ct8810 I owned that for a short time and it just doesn't even compare to the power of the mg325. I an a cordless junky so don't act like in trying to be negative. I would pull out the ct8810 for jobs and always end up reaching for the mg325 because the ct just doesn't have the umph. Sorry but I was just really disappointed in that gun.

Ohms what kind of battery life do you get out of 3/8s what's the power like think it could handle lugs ?

The awesome part with the 8810 is the batts are the same for the 7850. And of good solid work I can get up to three days on a charge.

It's okay for small car lugs but def not as much *** as the 1/2

I owned the CT7850 (two actually) for a while. Currently own the IR W7150 and M18 Fuel. I really liked the LED on the Snap On. It's the best LED I've encountered but the only thing I hated was the trigger delay. It's not as responsive as the older CT6855. The split second delay between holding down the trigger and the motor actually spinning was enough for me to get rid of it.

The M18 is noticeably larger than the Snap On gun. It's more powerful and run-time is awesome with the 4.0AH battery. The Snap On is about as powerful as a mid-grade impact. The Milwaukee is as powerful as a higher end gun.

I have it and the IR w7150. The snap on has a hair less power. Yes the RPM thing can get you on certain stuff, ball joint nuts, tie rod end nuts, etc. if you don't have any guns now I would just go Milwaukee fuel due to the warranty. Both my IR and snap on guns have had issues so the 5 year warranty Milwaukee offered sure would be piece of mind.
