Snap on vs Milwaukee m18 (Impact Wrench)

[Sir_vtec]

Has anyone ever used both and compared how both performed for these cordless impact wrench? Any opinions are appreciated or experience. Please send links to old threads since I had trouble finding old threads about these tools.

W7150 I&R

hehe if i was loaded

[Sir_vtec]

Yeh I was eyeing that as well but it seems relatively unknown here. Snap ons are well known. I m looking for something that's bang for bucks

[u mad?]

I've used the snap-on one a few times, i don't think theirs a bolt on our hondas that it can't undo. Bit big for certain jobs though. Good thing is in 5 years time when shits wearing out, you'll have the support from the snap-on man, run a kit through it.

i wouldnt recommend the snap on one because of the steep price compared to the milwaukee m18.

milwaukee has one of the highest torque out there at the moment.

now if we were talking about pneumatic impact wrenches, thats a different story altogether.

Thanks for the feedbacks. Looks like Milwaukee it is.

You missed out on the milwaukee sale a few weeks ago.
I always go here because it's on the way to Jdmyard.

If you don't mind me asking. Did you buy one and how much were they on sale? I am after the m18 fuel 1/2" impact wrench 2763-22?

i got a snap on one myself.
it is great.
I love it to bits.
high torque output, takes off crank pulleys and hub nuts

I didn't buy anything on the sale day myself.
But I bought many other things there.
-air compressor and gear
-all my tools
-milwaukee multimeter

The prices are pretty decent there.

Have you got the Ni-Cad or the lithium battery one?

[sensei_]

lithium all the way baby! i wouldnt touch a nicad one anymore.

[EKVTIR-T]

yeah nicad in 2014 no thanks

btw how much torque do you want? and what budget?

[destrukshn]

ni-cad
still great though. I've had it for 6-7years now.lol

[sensei_]

no chance of being able to upgrade the battery with the same profile to lithium?

i know with dewalt and makita you can upgrade the battery.

for those buying impact wrenches, there are two types of anvils. one is pin anvil, the other spring ring anvil.

I built a whole deck and pergola with Milwaukee 18v cordless tools.
They are amazing...

I'm a mechanic by trade and we use the cordless impact guns all the time now. No lines running across the shop.
Love them, only thing I noticed is if you don't have well charged batteries, they can lack a bit of grunt, but that's to be expected.

Milwaukee looks to be pretty damn good. Them using brushless motors gives them more torque by the sounds of it. Pretty sure everyone else is still using brushed motors

I bought the Ryobi One +. Set me back UNDER $300. But thats cos I had to buy the battery pack and charging unit etc.

Very happy with its 320nM. Have stripped 2 civic coupes with her, still to find a bolt to bow down to.

I settled for the Snap-On CT7850. Price wise Milwaukee is definitely better, Snap on is overp priced. Power wise the Milwaukee as well. I regret spending extra dollar for the brand. Go with Milwaukee or Ingersoll Rand W7150 for those who are looking to buy a cordless.
