I think your criticism of the button on the snap on is well deserved. When I pay a premium price, I expect them to not save a few pennies on things like those buttons. I know that Snap On makes fewer tools, and it’s expensive to make things in low volume. But if they can’t make a better tool, they really shouldn’t even bother IMHO.
Owned this snap on impact wrench for a while and loved it. I also recently bought the m12 gen2 stubby. I then traded back my snap on impact because the Milwaukee dominated it in every way. Love the gen 2 stubby. It’s my go to impact wrench. Love the videos! Thanks for all the hard work!
I love my gen 1 stubby, going to get this one as soon as Christmas comes around with the sales. I've got every milwaukee impact all the way up to the 1" d handle, love all of them.
Snap-on really should stick to just hand tools. Their hand tools have always been top notch, their power tools are for fan boys, overpriced, under powered and a ( I dont back it sorry warranty). So many better options and it doesn't have to be Milwaukee either.

I think we are now at the point where these 3/8 drive impacts will start wrecking 3/8 drive sockets. Love the power but wow, that is just ludicrous! Again thank you for all the work and testing that goes into these videos 😉
I have put my gen2 stubby through its paces and it handles 90 percent of what I do. My forarms and back are happy that im not using the IR hi torque while holding uncomfortable positions on a creeper. So far I have done a full LS teardown and the gen 2 did everything except main bearing caps and crank bolt. E46 transmisson swap it did okay but with a 24" extension I had to use the high torque on a few of the more stubborn bellhousing bolts. The m12 pulled the exhaust, driveshaft, and cutch happily.
I can't keep up, financially. I got a Harbor Freight Earthquake air impact w/750 ft. lbs. This compact Milwaukee is knockin' on the door- no compressor needed!
I used to be a big air tool guy because I work on semi trucks and 50 foot long box trailers but I started going towards Milwaukee and honestly never looked back. I rarely come across something that they don’t have the power to knock off and if I do I usually have to just cut it off with a torch. No more dealing with air lines either it’s nice. Just a bit pricy but the weight difference is a plus to
I bought the 1/2 inch ct950 when they 1st came out got a good deal on it and within the 1st year of using it broke 3 anvils and had electrical issues with it got it repaired under warranty again and then sold it off and got the milwaukee never had any issues with that i also have both the milwaukee stubbys and they are brilliant never will i buy snap on electrical tools they are junk but the hand tools are good thats about all I'd buy from them good video 👍🏼
@@bruins871I prefer m18. Better battery life and compatibility with larger more powerful tools and batteries. I love m12 too, but the batteries don’t last nearly as long.
@@Icepressa It tells me you don’t know anything. An m18 12.0 high output battery has 216 watt hours (total energy contained) in it. An m12 5.0 high output battery has only 60 watt hours in it. The m18 12.0 contains over 3.5x as much energy as an m12 5.0 high output. You don’t have a clue.
Milwaukee power tools are miles ahead on Snap on but for hand tools snap on is top notch. The Milwaukee kit 2562-22 will be a Christmas gift from me to me this year 😆🎁🎅🦌
I just watched a comparison by a snap on dealer at a tool show boot between these 2 stubby's and the snap on won easily. So, I had to come here for an independent review. Great video
The Snap On looks so much larger. I’m in the M12 line but also in DeWalt, and already have the DCF921 and 923 and absolutely love them. According to your test of those drivers, the new Stubby looks like it is even more powerful by around 50-100lbs depending on battery’s. I do prefer the handle on DeWalt tools vs M12.
snap on just needs to give up... I would go Milwaukee all the way. I started with their screwdriver and getting slowly invested as tools are needed. This looks interesting but for my needs, the Kobalt 24v 3/8 and 1/2 that I got for $59 each are enough for me. I would recommend anyone who finds them at Lowes to pick them up as they are pretty good. Had to remove air bag suspension on my Saab 9-7x (Trailblazer clone) and replace with soil springs that the Kobalt impacts really helped. If I ever need more, I am definitely picking this one up. Thanks for the videos.
Noticed at the end of the video that it looks like you have a blinking flex battery in the background. I could be wrong but the same thing happened to me and I had to warranty it. Fantastic video as always!
In regards to fairness with wattage, let’s not forget that the 18v is a true functioning nominal voltage whereas the 12v is only that fresh of the charger. Running it’s gonna be closer to 10.8v.
Exceedingly common SnapOn L. 12V vs 18V, 1.5x heavier, abysmal 2 year warranty. Absolutely pitiful battery platform with no real tool selection. Anyone who wants to accomplish anything needs a cordless tool platform worth investing in. If you have what? 30-some tools your platform is a dead end in 2024. And you get to throw a ton of money at pure mediocrity. Then you get to throw even more at it when it's breaking at month 27. And that rebuild will likely cost as much as an entire tool with a 3-5 year warranty from an actual respectable cordless power tool manufacturer.
If they were smart they would team up with a major tool company and have them rebrand them or at least make them in the same color options. That is the only thing good about them, they come in multiple colors. Sad thing is the fanboys will always buy overpriced tools from them.
I knew the 9038 was gonna be a decent tool. It doesn't have to be the strongest to be a good tool for me, and price isn't a big deal either. My Snap On man is GREAT and gives really good deals consistently. I still love my milwaukee for at home use!
Again why I go with Milwaukee. It matches all my contractors tools too. All interchangeable. Snap-on is still behind on their game. This was a good run fir them, but they just got smeared by a 12volt...hahaha
double the price, 66% more voltage, cheaply made and also made in china, who in their right mind would buy snap-on in 2024. If you're worried about longevity, ridgid has a sale right now for 179 for a 3/8 and 1/2 sub compact impact wrenches and a battery/charger. Of course it comes with the lifetime service agreement for everything, including battery. Per STR's own testing, they came close to this level of breakaway torque.
Im not convinced the 3/8 drive is stronger than the 1/2. Socket weight plays a roll and youre using a 1/2 drive socket with an adapter welded on to it. Thats a decent amount of extra weight. I wanna see the same size sockets but in their own drives against each other
@@ianjay4596 actually, I believe I’ve seen videos saying the 3/8” gen 1 is stronger than the 1/2”. I have both. That’s why I was wondering if the same applied for the gen2 units.
Snap on fan boys real quiet after this. Yet when that snap on "stubby" came out they wouldnt STFU about how it better than a 5+ year old 12 volt Milwaukee for 4x the price and a shit warranty. Cant wait for a new m18 stubby and see how much power they squeeze out of it with a new motor
there is something to be said for made in usa. pretty much everything but the electronics on that are made in the us. vs china for the milwaukee. price is still high though.
just got a question for ya were u were testing snap on it struggled to take off 400 but when u went to 500 it got it in like 7 less seconds whats up with that????
Serious let down for me on the m12 i returned it. 4.0ah full charge it wouldnt break 90ftlb lugs on my acura. 1/2” too and the mode switch is stupid. My old m18 compact 1/2 rated for 210ftlbs didnt hesitate.
Snap-On should be ashamed of themselves. They need to stick to making hand tools. I can get a Milwaukee 2967 kit with one 5.0 battery, charger, protective boot, 6.0 Forge battery+ Gen 2 stubby kit for $937.99 before any coupons or specials and Snap-On wants $922 for this kit. Now imagine the stubby being able to use an 18v battery. Milwaukee > Snap-On
idk what's wrong with my gen 2 stubby Milwaukee i bought. it couldn't even break loose my 90ft lb. lug nuts, I had to grab my crappy air impact which zipped it off in one ugga. i must have got a defective unit. all reviews show about 450 with standard battery and 550 with HO battery which is what i was using. Very disappointed. i haven't used it since it sits in the bag. its not much better then my 90 deg m12 impact rated at 250 (realistic 180 to 200 ft lbs.)
performance is one thing, quality, longevity and smoothness are another. one thing these kinds of tests dont look at is how they are made. cheap tools fail fast. that price adds up quick.
im not saying anyone should buy the snap on now but there is a clear difference on when they were designed. i doubt any mechanic that bought the snap on and has made money with it as a daily use tool regrets it. and yea the is milwaukee better but if you already have something that has long paid itself off i doubt anyone is gonna switch. would be a great impact for someone that is starting out and doesnt have a 3/8 cordless or good pneumatic yet. i love my milwaukee's but i do really wish they just had the compact and big battery as options the one thing i think everyone has to agree with snap on with is 1 battery and forget about it is way better than which battery do i need to make this tool do what it claims. i have tons of milwaukee,snap on,matco and dewalt but what keeps stopping me from buying the new milwaukee tools is you have to buy the new battery with it. if i want the new snap on tool and i already have a kit from before im golden to just buy the tool. but if i want the new high torque i need the new forge battery if i want it to do what it claims. if i want the new stubby i need the new high output battery and it never ends. either way great review as always
I find it crazy how companies can call a tool compact when it still has a huge battery footprint. At a certain point it doesn’t matter how compact the tool is, if it has a giant brick of a battery on the bottom then it’s pointless.
I can never understand how ppl perform tests, then claim they are both comparable straight to your face. The Power, for the size, FOR THE PRICE, For the warranty. the level of dishonesty is disgusting, have some shame👎
Miwaulkee is obviously the better bargain with better performance then Snaps. I guess theres no need to bring out the real contenders like Makita and DeWalt as those are what normal consumers buy. And real consumers not fanbois know its starts with Makita for reliabilty and fights the other two in all other categories losing in most of them even when reliabilty matters most.
Milwaukee is 12V, not 18V, half the price, smaller & lighter and oh, more powerful 🤔 Not to mention the M12 platform has a much larger variety of tools then the Snap on 18V. What does snap on even offer
LOL I like Snap-On ratchets and wrenches and maybe their screwdrivers. Everything else they peddle, especially the power tools, are overpriced and underwhelming. Really though the only reason for Snap-On to exist would be their combo wrench sets. Literally everything else is better purchased from other tool makers.
Milwaukee warranty is not based on cycles like snap-on. It's 2 years on 2.0 and smaller and 3 years on 3.0 and bigger. Milwaukee actually stands behind there warranty and claims better than 1500 charge cycles. Unlike snap-on runs out 1000 no matter how long you had the tool. Then you at the mercy of the truck dealer if they warranty it. With Milwaukee is actually dated coded and ship it to them they fix or replace no questions asked
@@Ed_StuckeyMilwaukee stands behind there stuff. People I worked with bought DeWalt they don't and Ridgid lifetime warranty is joke. They wouldn't even register my tools because I didn't have a confirmation number. Told me to send in my receipt and they would decide. I said I would decide I would buy Milwaukee a company actually stands behind there stuff.
Let's not forget the last gen m12 did 500 ft-lbs for Tim, so is the new one really more than double as Milwaukee says? ruclips.net/video/MfVBFFA6Seg/видео.html
Snapon seems poorly thought out and designed compared to all my Milwaukee stuff. Also having massive batteries for some stuff has got to be super snnoying
I WILL DEFINITELY WAIT ,,,,,,,,,,,,, ON THE TORQUE TEST CHANNEL BEFORE I DECIDE TO BUY . YOUR WHOLE TESTING PROCESS SEEMS MORE SEAT OF THE PANTS . I REALLY ONLY WATCH THIS CHANNEL JUST TO SEE THE NEW TOOLS FIRST . THANKS THOUGH !!!
We love the guys over at TTC, and they feel the same. You have to understand, when testing torque on impact wrenches, it's not an exact science. We're using nuts and bolts, torqued with a very high precision instrument in a repeated manner to achieve quantitative and qualitative results. TTC is using a hydraulic method and they math their way into a torque number. Neither method is faulty or negligent, but neither method is exact. They will tell you the same thing. Thanks for watching.
I am now convinced to never spend my money on the overpriced snap on tools of all kind. I’ll stick with my old-school American made craftsman and just find them on eBay. Dear leaders of snap on bring this to your president and look how absolutely stupid you look. If I were y’all, I’d drop this line or name it something else.
The M12 isn’t really 12v, lust as 20V tools aren’t really 20v, for exactly the same reason. The cells are nominal 3.6v/3.7v each, the M12 uses 3 in series for 10.8v-11.1v, 18v-20v tools use 5 in series for 18-18.5v. Those cells when fully charged and under low-load, will measure ~4v, but they can’t deliver that under any significant load. So, if you measure the voltage with no load, sure, you’ll see 12v or 20v, but you won’t see that under load. That means the WHr capacity of the M12 5v is 54-55WHr, not 60WHr
Not gonna lie, that snap on is a fat ass stubby. Milwaukee is a compact stubby. Snappy is bottom heavy lol. The rest has been normal, milwaukee has been better for years.
I think your criticism of the button on the snap on is well deserved.
When I pay a premium price, I expect them to not save a few pennies on things like those buttons.
I know that Snap On makes fewer tools, and it’s expensive to make things in low volume. But if they can’t make a better tool, they really shouldn’t even bother IMHO.

What to get 3/8 or 1/2" stubby?
The M12 STUBBY GEN 2 is HALF PRICE AND SHOULD SNAP UP SNAP ON
Don't forget that it is way lighter and smaller
Milwaukee's really pushing that "look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power, its right to pity them" energy ...
I love my gen 1 stubby, going to get this one as soon as Christmas comes around with the sales. I've got every milwaukee impact all the way up to the 1" d handle, love all of them.

Snap on fan boys real quiet after this. Yet when that snap on "stubby" came out they wouldnt STFU about how it better than a 5+ year old 12 volt Milwaukee for 4x the price and a shit warranty. Cant wait for a new m18 stubby and see how much power they squeeze out of it with a new motor
The only thing I hate about this video is the fact that Strap-On still has a fan base
there is something to be said for made in usa. pretty much everything but the electronics on that are made in the us. vs china for the milwaukee. price is still high though.
The only good thing about snap on is Manny
We see what's hanging in your box😉😁
just got a question for ya were u were testing snap on it struggled to take off 400 but when u went to 500 it got it in like 7 less seconds whats up with that????
M12 Milwaukee studdy is faster then the snap on for all tests in my opinion 12:16 @Shop Tool Reviews
Hi can you please review the makita 3/4 xgt impact wrench, thanks 😊
12:10moment of silence for snap on 🎩
You didn’t mention how you had to swap from the 4.0 battery on the Milwaukee to the 5.0 to do the higher tests
I don't think I ever see you guys review worx Impact or driver can you do one I would like to see how it stalk up to the test
Serious let down for me on the m12 i returned it. 4.0ah full charge it wouldnt break 90ftlb lugs on my acura. 1/2” too and the mode switch is stupid.
My old m18 compact 1/2 rated for 210ftlbs didnt hesitate.
The 4.0 will easily break away 300+. Maybe yours was defective. Should have just swapped it out.
Kobalt 24v has a new stubby in 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 in sizes. Id be interested if you could test those.
By the m12
Why does that SnapOn tool look like a tool from temu.
You can't use a 3/8 to 1/2 adapter and expect it to have the max breakaway torque.
Snap on powertools aint cuttin it. All you get is cool color choices lmao.
Keeping my old stubbys, but buying the new ones if i need more power lol
Snap-On should be ashamed of themselves. They need to stick to making hand tools. I can get a Milwaukee 2967 kit with one 5.0 battery, charger, protective boot, 6.0 Forge battery+ Gen 2 stubby kit for $937.99 before any coupons or specials and Snap-On wants $922 for this kit. Now imagine the stubby being able to use an 18v battery.
Milwaukee > Snap-On
TTQ tested that 5.0 was still above.
Milwaukee for the win
You knew not to that crap up against Dewalt , not even close
What adapter is being used on the Milwaukee gen 2 for use on the 1/2 socket?
Sooo should I get the milwaukee in a 3/8 or 1/2? I just work on my old chevy truck.
I’d say 3/8 because it’s more common and just get an impact rated 3/8 to 1/2 adapter for the bigger sockets which you’ll rarely need
Whats the best impact socket brand that you Yanks like?
idk what's wrong with my gen 2 stubby Milwaukee i bought. it couldn't even break loose my 90ft lb. lug nuts, I had to grab my crappy air impact which zipped it off in one ugga.
i must have got a defective unit.
all reviews show about 450 with standard battery and 550 with HO battery which is what i was using. Very disappointed. i haven't used it since it sits in the bag.
its not much better then my 90 deg m12 impact rated at 250 (realistic 180 to 200 ft lbs.)
Well, the snapon comes in green 🤷🏼♂️
Very good point. Thanks for watching.
LET'S GO TJ 🏁
I really don’t care about the Snap-On, I want to know how big a step the Gen2 Stubby is vs the Gen1.
Gen 1 250 breakaway vs gen 2 550 breakaway
@@cartharax4308 is that the specification or test results? The Gen2 3/8 tested at 600 ft-lbs, not 550.
@@superspeeder true true my bad
About the third time the battery falls out on the milwaukee you'll wish you had got the Snap On
You didn't watch the video at all, did you? Thanks for watching.
How the m18 stubby compare?
That's what he should be comparing it against.
Sorry Snap-on fan boys milwaukee for the win once again 😢😅
The new milwaukee is a beast but I think the switch button is stupid, they should of left it
Didnt the Hercules impact driver get to 500lbs too? Makes that Snap-On look even more like a piece of crap.
performance is one thing, quality, longevity and smoothness are another. one thing these kinds of tests dont look at is how they are made. cheap tools fail fast. that price adds up quick.
Flex vs snap on pls

im not saying anyone should buy the snap on now but there is a clear difference on when they were designed. i doubt any mechanic that bought the snap on and has made money with it as a daily use tool regrets it. and yea the is milwaukee better but if you already have something that has long paid itself off i doubt anyone is gonna switch. would be a great impact for someone that is starting out and doesnt have a 3/8 cordless or good pneumatic yet. i love my milwaukee's but i do really wish they just had the compact and big battery as options the one thing i think everyone has to agree with snap on with is 1 battery and forget about it is way better than which battery do i need to make this tool do what it claims. i have tons of milwaukee,snap on,matco and dewalt but what keeps stopping me from buying the new milwaukee tools is you have to buy the new battery with it. if i want the new snap on tool and i already have a kit from before im golden to just buy the tool. but if i want the new high torque i need the new forge battery if i want it to do what it claims. if i want the new stubby i need the new high output battery and it never ends. either way great review as always
Whether they're 12 vs 18 doesn't matter. The snap on only has one battery oeriod5. Doesn't need 5 different types like milwaukee..
Almost $1k for the Snap-on! 🤦♂️
Seriously? ... Snap on feels like a scam
@@justauser Yes, all of the tool trucks are so over priced for no reason.
I find it crazy how companies can call a tool compact when it still has a huge battery footprint. At a certain point it doesn’t matter how compact the tool is, if it has a giant brick of a battery on the bottom then it’s pointless.
I can never understand how ppl perform tests, then claim they are both comparable straight to your face. The Power, for the size, FOR THE PRICE, For the warranty. the level of dishonesty is disgusting, have some shame👎
your camera is not focus
I can’t even call it close. Milwaukee just slaps snappys ass when it comes to power tools. Hand tools is another story.
But do u really want a Milwaukee in ur hand or a snap on. It’s like having gucci vs sketchers
Unless you’re a little OCD and want all your tools to be snap on I don’t see why you would buy snap on over Milwaukee. At least with this tool.
I don’t get it why mediocre Snap-On products are so much more expensive?
Miwaulkee is obviously the better bargain with better performance then Snaps. I guess theres no need to bring out the real contenders like Makita and DeWalt as those are what normal consumers buy. And real consumers not fanbois know its starts with Makita for reliabilty and fights the other two in all other categories losing in most of them even when reliabilty matters most.
Milwaukee is 12V, not 18V, half the price, smaller & lighter and oh, more powerful 🤔 Not to mention the M12 platform has a much larger variety of tools then the Snap on 18V. What does snap on even offer
LOL I like Snap-On ratchets and wrenches and maybe their screwdrivers. Everything else they peddle, especially the power tools, are overpriced and underwhelming. Really though the only reason for Snap-On to exist would be their combo wrench sets. Literally everything else is better purchased from other tool makers.
The snap on is way over priced and doesn't even have tri led. What a scam.
Milwaukee warranty is not based on cycles like snap-on. It's 2 years on 2.0 and smaller and 3 years on 3.0 and bigger. Milwaukee actually stands behind there warranty and claims better than 1500 charge cycles. Unlike snap-on runs out 1000 no matter how long you had the tool. Then you at the mercy of the truck dealer if they warranty it. With Milwaukee is actually dated coded and ship it to them they fix or replace no questions asked
I had a Milwaukee 12v 4Ah that was only a few days away from the end of warranty. I shipped it in and got a new battery back no question asked.
@@Ed_StuckeyMilwaukee stands behind there stuff. People I worked with bought DeWalt they don't and Ridgid lifetime warranty is joke. They wouldn't even register my tools because I didn't have a confirmation number. Told me to send in my receipt and they would decide. I said I would decide I would buy Milwaukee a company actually stands behind there stuff.
Had a few warranties with Milwaukee , they don't dick around.
In some cases just give you a whole new tool .
What's with a two year warranty? Why not stick to your lifetime/tool truck service that all the mechanics keep bragging about?
None of their power tools have a lifetime warranty, just the hand tools. Thanks for watching.
I think snapon loses a couple points for having too bulky of the battery.
Milwaukee over crap on any day
Snap-on looks like a mid torque compared to the Milwaukee
Let's not forget the last gen m12 did 500 ft-lbs for Tim, so is the new one really more than double as Milwaukee says? ruclips.net/video/MfVBFFA6Seg/видео.html
Milwaukee is better snap on is too beefy with the battery
Snapon seems poorly thought out and designed compared to all my Milwaukee stuff. Also having massive batteries for some stuff has got to be super snnoying
I WILL DEFINITELY WAIT ,,,,,,,,,,,,, ON THE TORQUE TEST CHANNEL BEFORE I DECIDE TO BUY . YOUR WHOLE TESTING PROCESS SEEMS MORE SEAT OF THE PANTS . I REALLY ONLY WATCH THIS CHANNEL JUST TO SEE THE NEW TOOLS FIRST . THANKS THOUGH !!!
We love the guys over at TTC, and they feel the same. You have to understand, when testing torque on impact wrenches, it's not an exact science. We're using nuts and bolts, torqued with a very high precision instrument in a repeated manner to achieve quantitative and qualitative results. TTC is using a hydraulic method and they math their way into a torque number. Neither method is faulty or negligent, but neither method is exact. They will tell you the same thing. Thanks for watching.
Let me have the m12 stubby gen 2 pls you have plenty
I am now convinced to never spend my money on the overpriced snap on tools of all kind. I’ll stick with my old-school American made craftsman and just find them on eBay. Dear leaders of snap on bring this to your president and look how absolutely stupid you look. If I were y’all, I’d drop this line or name it something else.
Snap on is a joke. They screw people. I believe in paying for quality but then there is junk being sold way higher then other quality tools
wgf? one over priced fanboi glitter ornament versus another.... yaawwwnnn... smFh
Snap on power tools are ugly they remind me of those old clunky cordless 18 volt dewalt drills that are like 8 pounds
The M12 isn’t really 12v, lust as 20V tools aren’t really 20v, for exactly the same reason. The cells are nominal 3.6v/3.7v each, the M12 uses 3 in series for 10.8v-11.1v, 18v-20v tools use 5 in series for 18-18.5v. Those cells when fully charged and under low-load, will measure ~4v, but they can’t deliver that under any significant load. So, if you measure the voltage with no load, sure, you’ll see 12v or 20v, but you won’t see that under load.
That means the WHr capacity of the M12 5v is 54-55WHr, not 60WHr
Not gonna lie, that snap on is a fat ass stubby. Milwaukee is a compact stubby. Snappy is bottom heavy lol. The rest has been normal, milwaukee has been better for years.
