I have been purchasing Snap On tools for 41 years. Every rechargeable tool including, flashlights, ratchets and impacts have come up short.

On my first 1/2 cordless impact kit the batteries became obsolete within a year Snap Ons came out with a retrofit adapter for a new design battery to fit the tools it was a joke.

As you get older and look back, you'll wish you would have saved that tool money for things that really matter.
Agreed. My dad is an experienced mechanic and he works out of an old craftsman toolbox he got on sale at sears. The box is probably 20 years old and still holds tools just fine. He did invest in some snap on pneumatics that have finally started to show their age (probably nearly 15 years old). Fortunately, I was able to acquire the same sense of value and have a decent set of tools that I procured at rather large discounts by going second hand or simply understanding the type of quality I need for weekend work.

Some of this depends on what kind of relationship you have with a tool man and will he cover you on the warranty, my Cornwell guy covered me, so I bought a torque multiplier (pneumatic) and now the Milwaukee has it easy just running the nuts.
Great stuff as always. For me, it's about picking a platform. Nothing worse than having to support three or four different battery platforms with different batteries and different chargers and different tools. There is some stuff I do buy Snap-On and wouldn't buy anything else...but as far as cordless goes, I've had zero issues with all my Fuel line-up tools and when I did have to replace them...it was so much easier on the pocketbook.
I'm with ya there. I am a field service tech and I don't need extra chargers cluttering up my service truck. I have 1 charger that plugs into a cigarette lighter outlet and it charges the 12V batteries along with the 18V batteries. That leaves more room for tools.
I agree I have tools from every company including companies that don’t exist anymore I myself bought what I liked more than anything else but with cordless I’m all dewalt I only work on my own cars now so I buy the dewalt stuff and just added the high torque 1/2” but haven’t tried it yet but I have all the batteries for it I did add the Milwaukee 12v cordless ratchet though. My son talked me into the new 1/2” he loves it I still was pulling out my compressor and using my 25 year old IR 1/2” it’s never let me down!
Snap-On continues to provide less power in a given package while costing over 3 times as much as Milwaukee. Both have chinese motors, controlers, and batteries but SO is "assembled in USA"
Well the CEO, CFO, COO, CO?, and COC need those yachts, Bugatti's, and 10k square foot summer homes. You can't expect them to give that up just so they can pay a decent wage and have their tools made in America. Just because they were able to do that for years with corporate tax rates above 50% doesn't mean they can do that now and afford to bathe in puppy dog tears and virgin blood.
The Snappy clearly has a special “vibrating rust and dirt” feature that is worth the 3x price tag! That Honda video shows the whole car vibrating and dirt falling off of it. I could it recommend a tool that vibrates so much to anybody!!! It could cause long term damage to someone’s hands.
Have done a few Honda timing belts, and the kryptonite for the crank bolt is the extra thick crank bolt socket. That with a decent impact, comes out pretty quickly.
I just started as a Diesel Tech less than one year. All my battery power tools are Milwaukee. As I also work in the construction business and seen a few things. Milwaukee is the best option for me. I have bought tools from Mac Tools, Matco tools, Gearwrench. They all stop at the shop I work. Even snapon. I stepped inside snapon only once. Their prices are ridiculous high. I have to say Gearwrench has the best prices but the other trucks have other tools I need. Snapon is not for me. Unless the other trucks don’t have the tools I need then I’ll probably buy from snapon
I have a top end snap on box filled with snap on hand tools, and there's not a god damn chance imma pay $1000 plus for that kinda gains, especially when my 3/4, and 1 inch guns are right there, and a nice pneumatic 3/4 is probably smaller in profile.
@@Slicko316 Well said and very true. Lot of Snap On hate here. Plenty of things on that truck I wouldn’t buy. Plenty I wouldn’t give up or trade for anything either…..wrenches being the first.
@@tebo2770 love my Snap-on Flank Drive plus wrenches. Their cordless tool are just meh, but I bought them because at the time my job would pay for them to be refurbished. I think its a $129 fee to have them completely refurbished. I got mine refurbushed every year. But now I'd go Milwaukee.
@@Jackmerius_Tacktheretrix Honestly, I have an amazing driver. He has typically not charged me to put head kits in my electric ratchets which is the only thing I ever have go out. So, to me…The BIGGEST part of buying from snap on is my driver. Couldnt care less about the brand name or any of that. I pay what I pay to support an amazing local guy who gives his all and then some to help us week in and week out.
Unfortunately air can’t go everywhere I can pack my battery powered stuff to the bone yard easier than the air compressor trailer and all of the tools that come with it
I have gone to alot of sites that legit don't have enough air power to run a 1 inch impact or have alot of water in their lines. I just pack my 3/4 milwaukee impact and it has never let me down yet. There are times where yes I need to run the 1 inch impact and we have to run it for a hot second to get the job done but most times my cordless milwaukee gets the job done. Honestly it's a toss up. Just depends on where your at or have access to air or not
Hi, I just got the ct9080 and it’s an absolute beast, the vibration will give you a workout when it’s impacting a stubborn bolt and will pull the bolt off within five seconds or so, worth every penny, excellent demonstration ty,
I struggled with Honda crank bolts for a long time until I found out about the special weighted sockets made for taking them off and they freaking work! I personally like the Ingersoll cordless impact bc it's a work horse but as long as it gets the job done then who cares what you have.
I love my Snap-On tools. I work in heavy equipment / hydraulics. If you've been in my industry you know you will destroy your stuff, and time is money. I don't have time to wait around and ship stuff back and wait for warranty claims. I don't have time to drive to retail stores and get stuff warrantied with the possbility of it not being in stock. My guy is there every week, has what I need, and doesn't ask questions. That's why I don't mind paying more. Just let people buy what they want to buy.
@@mattkaplan1316 - True!!! I use snap - on hand tools as a mechanic, but there’s no way in hell i’m paying $1,000 for something SLIGHTLY better than a $300 tool, when I already own Milwaukee tools, and batteries.
@@chesterswingjr9796 Exactly. Their hand tools are the best but damn expensive but they can't hope to compete with a company that exclusively sells power tools. Snap on shouldn't even bother making power tools.
I’ve always loved my Snap On tools. I do believe that as they say “there is a difference” especially when it comes to their hand tools. I also like that a lot of them are made in the USA. But like all other manufacturers no one manufacturer, not even Snap On, makes the best of every tool in every class. I won’t lie I’m glad to see Snap On on top but for that price they damn well better be. For my money I would buy many Snap On tools but when it comes to cordless I’d buy Milwaukee. Air tools would be either Ingersol Rand, Astro, Air Cat, or the Thor gun, I’d have to look into them more before purchasing. For a scope I’d go with Pico, and for meters Fluke. But that’s just my two cents.
Yep. Was at Home Depot tonight, and I could buy 3 Milwaukee guns, (not that you would need 3) and STILL have beer & pizza money left!!! There’re $299 for the bare tool.
Just saw this now. I have a Milwaukee 2767 that's been rode hard and put away wet for 2 years now, and it didn't have any problem with the one Honda crank bolt it was used on! That was about 2 months ago.
I love snap on hand tools but I’m no fan of their cordless stuff. Also their prices are insane I just had to say at 3:56 to 4mins something broke of that ugly drill. Keep up the awesome videos!!!👌👍
I have this snappy in gunmetal. Paid right around 900 with 2 bats and a charger off the truck on a promo. When away bar links are stuck. I just ugga dugga them until they shear clean off. Utterly love it, even being the size of a suitcase lol
You guys have done a fair effort on the power impacts BUT we want too see more from these big boys MAYBE show us who has the most powerful batteries by using a makita battery on Milwakee etc pretty much make a battery-like jig and wire each battery into each gun and show us who’s REALLY performs well!
That's why there is a special Honda crank bolt impact socket that can be used with an 18v Milwaukee and will break loose with ease, sometimes sockets matter.
I bought a CT9080 and I gotta say it’s beefy but it puts down the power very well, I got a good deal on it with a single battery from my snap on guy. I’d recommend the 3/8 14.4v impact as well from Snap-On.
Was going to buy one of these today, but I want red and my guy's only got blue. Thought I'd update you on the price... It's up by $100. It's now $1073 for the CT9080 kit (two batteries and a charger). $607 for the bare tool. The Milwaukee is only up $10 to $260 (on Amazon, bare tool. $430 as a kit).
Heavy duty truck/equipment, tech here I absolutely love mine I have multiple different impacts snap on Milwaukee IR. These tools are definitely marketing towards us more than your average user I wear out one or two impacts a year on average I like that I can send out my snap on for a rebuild for 125+tax(canadian) i’ve sent out my older models. Haven’t had to send out this one yet. But I’ve never not been given a brand new gun back with my serial number engraved in it. So to me, the upfront cost of 1150 (Canadian) and every 8 to 12 months get a brand new impact for a rebuild cost is amazing
about 10 years go I tried to remove a crank bolt when I had a 94 Supra. I broke lots of tools and nothing would loosen it. I even had a 3/4 breaker bar with a 6 foot pole and that didn't work. I went to Harbor Freight and bought an Earthquake 3/4 drive impact wrench and that bolt came off in 1 second. I wasted a whole weekend trying to get that bolt off and that tool only took 1 second.
Finally someone that understands the difference between “bolt/nut busting torque” vs TRUE Working torque. Bolt Busting torque is simply just a marketing ploy.
At 3x the price is hope it'd beat the Milwaukee, that said, I'm just a home gamer who works on some rusty crap (it's amazing what friends and family will find that needs fixed) and honestly couldn't justify the difference in price over the M18, especially as that's the battery flavor I've already invested in.
I got my 9080 tool and just one battery for 600. I traded in my 9075 and walked off the truck for $250 tax included. No one pays list price on a truck unless your dealer hates you
Traditionally when you had a [insert product name here] killer, it was cheaper and had better specs than the competitor, but with this Milwaukee killer it cost twice as much than the Milwaukee offering
I have the snap on, great gun, plenty of power. It’s not an all the time tool, I have a mg725a for most things and will break out the monster when needed. yeah I got mine on promo for around $725 with battery and charger, i have a variety of 14.4 snap on tools and all have been great used every day but I treat them like expensive tools and clean them, I use my air impacts to take most bolts loose and I reassemble with electric. I also have a Milwaukee fuel 3/8 I’ve used for years and is a great tool the battery’s fall apart on them but the tool is good. Snap on has been around over 100 years they have R&D invested in their tools that Milwaukee can’t touch.
Doing automotive professionally now for close to 30 years. I did not take to battery tools in the shop....like I did with building trades. I just kept going back to air. But been slowly moving more to battery...seems like no matter how these electrics hit at top torque, sometimes the speed of the hits on air is more consistent, especially here in the rust belt JMO
I said it in the last video, but the size of the SnapOn puts it among the 3/4" drive tools just with a mini 1/2" anvil. This even jives with the Beanometer readings.
I've owned both the CT9075 & the newer CT9080 and the difference is night and day. The new CT9080 is a freaking beast, scary strong. Of you've owned both you can tell just by pulling the trigger unloaded, it just sounds more aggressive
You used to be able to say that about Milwaukee as well. The batteries and electronics for snap on are made in China like everybody else. Which is very unfortunate and a sign of the times
I used to work on Hondas for a living and i can say for certain that there was only one instance where my IR 2235tiMax could not take off a Honda crank bolt with a standard impact socket. I ended up needing to use my IR 19mm high torque impact socket on it.
@@leokarasinski4217 Love mine. It sits most of the time only because the air hose situation at my shop is kind of annoying and I like the convenience of being cordless
@@firstlast--- im the opposite. My shop has great air and its easy to get to where I need it. So I run my air guns more than anything, so much so I'm on my second anvil in the 2235ti. The battery tools I like especially the small ones I use all the time. But the larger impact guns sit more than I use them
The snap-on 9080 is Definitely a bad ass gun it breaks just about anything u throw at it only thing I don’t like about the gun is it runs outta juice pretty quick It needs a battery up grade for sure
Well, we can’t deny that Snap-On made a powerful 1/2” electric impact but $972 is ridiculous especially since the batteries aren’t interchangeable with brands such as Milwaukee or DeWalt. I will forever keep using and purchasing Milwaukee cordeless power tools. Every Home Depot sells it, affordable price, commercial grade reliability and dependability, red is a good color (personal preference), batteries are plentiful and go on sale, etc. Milwaukee all the way 🤙
Given it's size and price it better bring the beans! I often look at my Milwaukee and say "it ain't gonna fit!" but Snap Off just took that crown. I wonder how long it takes to let the smoke out... My Snap Off guy often looks at me funny when I tell him I need a new can of smoke for X tool. Side note about wrist breaking ranking. You guys should try a Hutchins Hustler air file, or "industrial pneumatic straight line sander" as it says on the tool. Use one nearly every day and you'll have a new scale for wrist breaking. If you're not familiar with one just raise it above your shoulders and just try to stay on your feet...
Just to let everyone know to get full breakaway power from this gun dont just Ugga Dugga the trigger. On off on off the trigger . I am actually worried about snapping things off but still only use middle power to tighten
My workmate bought the CT9075 and its a good high power gun and I bet it's the same as the CT9080 but my Air Boss AW-140P that I paid $250aud for out paced it taking wheel nuts off a medium ridged Mitsubishi canter with 41mm hex nuts I think they're 20mm studs. The Air Boss is some cheapo Taiwan brand that our parts supplier ordered in probably by pallet loads as they had 200 in stock. on their site the 140P is the most powerful in the light weight range.
Here's why Milwaukee will always be better than snap-on power tools. The batteries last longer than 5 minutes they don't break if you put them in a drawer and slam the drawer too hard they cost a third of the price you can actually kick them around and drop them beat on them be rough with them and they still function I've personally left my Milwaukee tools outside Frozen in the ground and thaw them out and they still worked and occasionally when there's a car kicking your ass and you get so frustrated you end up throwing your Milwaukee tool across the shop.. you don't have to worry because you can pick it up and get right back to work cuz you know it will still function. I have a full selection of Milwaukee power tools that I use professionally day in and day out and the only time I've burned out an impact gun is one of the first generation Milwaukee half inch impacts that I had already put quite a few years of use on.. I ran that thing to it's absolute limit trying to remove semi lug nuts.. which it did until it finally overheated and got too hot. And I don't know somebody that had been serviced regularly but one that had been ignored and neglected so the lug nuts weren't coming off without a torque multiplier anyway. I am extremely rough on my tools and the Milwaukee's hold up better than any of the other ones I've had. The snap-on's just can't compete and I've given my snap-on tools away because they are utter garbage compared to Milwaukee.
I have a maximum high torque impact I paid $175 for with a hard carry case battery and charger, it is rated for 1200 take off and my buddy wanted to compare it to his snap on. Granted I cant remember which model he had but my maximum crushed that thing when we tried them on peterbuilt lug nuts.
My friend got a Milwaukee something. We're Honda technicians and we recommend a super socket. He got a snap on pneumatic and his Milwaukee does better and was cheaper.
I have this gun, I ended up getting the 100th anniv edition, so it came as a kit, the 1/2 inch and 3/8 2 batteries and a charger for 1,570 cad but, I absolutely love em and the guys I work with enjoy the rare time there impacts are not strong enough so they use mine, will snap studs no problem 😂

“Most expensive high torque you can buy”
No you cannot buy it it’s so expensive
It’s not too expensive, you’re just too poor
you gotta love China.. or thats how it would be .
I'll just sell my limbs on the black market to pay it off. Easy
@@robbiethornhill634 or just smart.... On not spending more for something that's bigger than a 1 inch gun 😂🤣🤣🤣
Some of this depends on what kind of relationship you have with a tool man and will he cover you on the warranty, my Cornwell guy covered me, so I bought a torque multiplier (pneumatic) and now the Milwaukee has it easy just running the nuts.
Great stuff as always. For me, it's about picking a platform. Nothing worse than having to support three or four different battery platforms with different batteries and different chargers and different tools. There is some stuff I do buy Snap-On and wouldn't buy anything else...but as far as cordless goes, I've had zero issues with all my Fuel line-up tools and when I did have to replace them...it was so much easier on the pocketbook.
I'm with ya there. I am a field service tech and I don't need extra chargers cluttering up my service truck. I have 1 charger that plugs into a cigarette lighter outlet and it charges the 12V batteries along with the 18V batteries. That leaves more room for tools.
I agree I have tools from every company including companies that don’t exist anymore I myself bought what I liked more than anything else but with cordless I’m all dewalt I only work on my
own cars now so I buy the dewalt stuff and just added the high torque 1/2” but haven’t tried it yet but I have all the batteries for it I did add the Milwaukee 12v cordless ratchet though. My son talked me into the new 1/2” he loves it I still was pulling out my compressor and using my 25 year old IR 1/2” it’s never let me down!
Snap-On continues to provide less power in a given package while costing over 3 times as much as Milwaukee. Both have chinese motors, controlers, and batteries but SO is "assembled in USA"
I mean, this one might be overpriced, but it didn't "provide less power."
Snap On has turned into the Apple of tools
Well the CEO, CFO, COO, CO?, and COC need those yachts, Bugatti's, and 10k square foot summer homes. You can't expect them to give that up just so they can pay a decent wage and have their tools made in America. Just because they were able to do that for years with corporate tax rates above 50% doesn't mean they can do that now and afford to bathe in puppy dog tears and virgin blood.
it has the most power
@@sparks2429 I’ve had several Androids, all garbage compared to my iPhones. Switched and never looked back
The Snappy clearly has a special “vibrating rust and dirt” feature that is worth the 3x price tag! That Honda video shows the whole car vibrating and dirt falling off of it. I could it recommend a tool that vibrates so much to anybody!!! It could cause long term damage to someone’s hands.
Have done a few Honda timing belts, and the kryptonite for the crank bolt is the extra thick crank bolt socket. That with a decent impact, comes out pretty quickly.
Lisle LIS-77080 works great for me, it was a game changer when it came out!
OMG, OMG, OMG, it’s the episode I’ve been waiting for!
I just started as a Diesel Tech less than one year. All my battery power tools are Milwaukee. As I also work in the construction business and seen a few things. Milwaukee is the best option for me. I have bought tools from Mac Tools, Matco tools, Gearwrench. They all stop at the shop I work. Even snapon. I stepped inside snapon only once. Their prices are ridiculous high. I have to say Gearwrench has the best prices but the other trucks have other tools I need. Snapon is not for me. Unless the other trucks don’t have the tools I need then I’ll probably buy from snapon
It would be cool to see some torque tests with e-draulic rescue tools. O-cutters, spreaders, combi tools, rams etc.
Lol they would shear the plate the test gear is mounted to.
I have a top end snap on box filled with snap on hand tools, and there's not a god damn chance imma pay $1000 plus for that kinda gains, especially when my 3/4, and 1 inch guns are right there, and a nice pneumatic 3/4 is probably smaller in profile.
"I have a top end snap on box filled with snap on hand tools"
but..
why
@@chrishayes5755 if you dont know, you wouldnt get it.
@@Slicko316 Well said and very true. Lot of Snap On hate here. Plenty of things on that truck I wouldn’t buy. Plenty I wouldn’t give up or trade for anything either…..wrenches being the first.
@@tebo2770 love my Snap-on Flank Drive plus wrenches. Their cordless tool are just meh, but I bought them because at the time my job would pay for them to be refurbished. I think its a $129 fee to have them completely refurbished. I got mine refurbushed every year. But now I'd go Milwaukee.
@@Jackmerius_Tacktheretrix Honestly, I have an amazing driver. He has typically not charged me to put head kits in my electric ratchets which is the only thing I ever have go out. So, to me…The BIGGEST part of buying from snap on is my driver. Couldnt care less about the brand name or any of that. I pay what I pay to support an amazing local guy who gives his all and then some to help us week in and week out.
Would love to see more 3/4 air impacts being tested. Electric is cool but tried and true air is always good to have around.
Unfortunately air can’t go everywhere I can pack my battery powered stuff to the bone yard easier than the air compressor trailer and all of the tools that come with it
I have gone to alot of sites that legit don't have enough air power to run a 1 inch impact or have alot of water in their lines. I just pack my 3/4 milwaukee impact and it has never let me down yet. There are times where yes I need to run the 1 inch impact and we have to run it for a hot second to get the job done but most times my cordless milwaukee gets the job done. Honestly it's a toss up. Just depends on where your at or have access to air or not
Crazy how I’m debating on buying the new snap on hun and you come out with this video you read my mind
So pretty much you pay double price for an extra 50 ft lbs… sounds about right for snap on.
Double the price, and half again the size!
Plus the premature ejaculation of it's smoke!
Hi, I just got the ct9080 and it’s an absolute beast, the vibration will give you a workout when it’s impacting a stubborn bolt and will pull the bolt off within five seconds or so, worth every penny, excellent demonstration ty,
Congratz on the purchase Robert!
My milwaukee seems perfectly alive at the end of this. Fuck that price.
I struggled with Honda crank bolts for a long time until I found out about the special weighted sockets made for taking them off and they freaking work! I personally like the Ingersoll cordless impact bc it's a work horse but as long as it gets the job done then who cares what you have.
Thats been a known thing for a very very long time
I love my Snap-On tools. I work in heavy equipment / hydraulics. If you've been in my industry you know you will destroy your stuff, and time is money. I don't have time to wait around and ship stuff back and wait for warranty claims. I don't have time to drive to retail stores and get stuff warrantied with the possbility of it not being in stock. My guy is there every week, has what I need, and doesn't ask questions. That's why I don't mind paying more. Just let people buy what they want to buy.
If I’m paying 3x as much for a tool, it better be 3x better. The snap on obviously isn’t. Milwaukee for the win!!!
I think even if it was twice as good or maybe even 50% it would be worth it for some high end users but it’s shit
@@mattkaplan1316 - True!!! I use snap - on hand tools as a mechanic, but there’s no way in hell i’m paying $1,000 for something SLIGHTLY better than a $300 tool, when I already own Milwaukee tools, and batteries.
@@chesterswingjr9796 Exactly. Their hand tools are the best but damn expensive but they can't hope to compete with a company that exclusively sells power tools. Snap on shouldn't even bother making power tools.
I’ve always loved my Snap On tools. I do believe that as they say “there is a difference” especially when it comes to their hand tools. I also like that a lot of them are made in the USA. But like all other manufacturers no one manufacturer, not even Snap On, makes the best of every tool in every class. I won’t lie I’m glad to see Snap On on top but for that price they damn well better be. For my money I would buy many Snap On tools but when it comes to cordless I’d buy Milwaukee. Air tools would be either Ingersol Rand, Astro, Air Cat, or the Thor gun, I’d have to look into them more before purchasing. For a scope I’d go with Pico, and for meters Fluke. But that’s just my two cents.
the price of the snap on impact is just rediculous... when you can just go milwaukee for half or even a third of the price
Yep. Was at Home Depot tonight, and I could buy 3 Milwaukee guns, (not that you would need 3) and STILL have beer & pizza money left!!! There’re $299 for the bare tool.
You can buy 3 Milwaukee's for one of those highway robbery priced Strap On
Just saw this now. I have a Milwaukee 2767 that's been rode hard and put away wet for 2 years now, and it didn't have any problem with the one Honda crank bolt it was used on! That was about 2 months ago.
I love snap on hand tools but I’m no fan of their cordless stuff. Also their prices are insane I just had to say at 3:56 to 4mins something broke of that ugly drill. Keep up the awesome videos!!!👌👍
Lol I just saw that thing fly out
I think it was just air from the motor blowing some debris across the table.
I have this snappy in gunmetal. Paid right around 900 with 2 bats and a charger off the truck on a promo.
When away bar links are stuck. I just ugga dugga them until they shear clean off.
Utterly love it, even being the size of a suitcase lol
You guys have done a fair effort on the power impacts BUT we want too see more from these big boys
MAYBE show us who has the most powerful batteries by using a makita battery on Milwakee etc
pretty much make a battery-like jig and wire each battery into each gun and show us who’s REALLY performs well!
That's why there is a special Honda crank bolt impact socket that can be used with an 18v Milwaukee and will break loose with ease, sometimes sockets matter.
I bought a CT9080 and I gotta say it’s beefy but it puts down the power very well, I got a good deal on it with a single battery from my snap on guy. I’d recommend the 3/8 14.4v impact as well from Snap-On.
Just got my 9080 a couple weeks ago thing is a monster takes off 500 ft lb lug nuts in the rust belt no problem
Was going to buy one of these today, but I want red and my guy's only got blue. Thought I'd update you on the price... It's up by $100. It's now $1073 for the CT9080 kit (two batteries and a charger). $607 for the bare tool. The Milwaukee is only up $10 to $260 (on Amazon, bare tool. $430 as a kit).
Heavy duty truck/equipment, tech here I absolutely love mine I have multiple different impacts snap on Milwaukee IR.
These tools are definitely marketing towards us more than your average user I wear out one or two impacts a year on average
I like that I can send out my snap on for a rebuild for 125+tax(canadian) i’ve sent out my older models. Haven’t had to send out this one yet. But I’ve never not been given a brand new gun back with my serial number engraved in it.
So to me, the upfront cost of 1150 (Canadian) and every 8 to 12 months get a brand new impact for a rebuild cost is amazing
about 10 years go I tried to remove a crank bolt when I had a 94 Supra. I broke lots of tools and nothing would loosen it. I even had a 3/4 breaker bar with a 6 foot pole and that didn't work. I went to Harbor Freight and bought an Earthquake 3/4 drive impact wrench and that bolt came off in 1 second. I wasted a whole weekend trying to get that bolt off and that tool only took 1 second.
I love snap on for their ratchets and sockets but I use pretty much all Milwaukee for everything else.
Finally someone that understands the difference between “bolt/nut busting torque” vs TRUE Working torque. Bolt Busting torque is simply just a marketing ploy.
At 3x the price is hope it'd beat the Milwaukee, that said, I'm just a home gamer who works on some rusty crap (it's amazing what friends and family will find that needs fixed) and honestly couldn't justify the difference in price over the M18, especially as that's the battery flavor I've already invested in.
i have a ct9080 and i think you made the right choice. i love mine but the price difference isnt necessary if you’re working at stuff around the home
I got my 9080 tool and just one battery for 600. I traded in my 9075 and walked off the truck for $250 tax included.
No one pays list price on a truck unless your dealer hates you
True, but few people pay retail for Milwaukee and buy during BOGO and other sales. We only have retail prices to go off of for comparison
Traditionally when you had a [insert product name here] killer, it was cheaper and had better specs than the competitor, but with this Milwaukee killer it cost twice as much than the Milwaukee offering
Love seeing IR commercial while watching your videos, always worth a laugh.
The difference in numbers will not even matter in the real world, Snap On is on the way down the tubes on many levels
I have the 100th anniversary edition and I love it, the grey looks awesome and I use it every day
I have the snap on, great gun, plenty of power. It’s not an all the time tool, I have a mg725a for most things and will break out the monster when needed. yeah I got mine on promo for around $725 with battery and charger, i have a variety of 14.4 snap on tools and all have been great used every day but I treat them like expensive tools and clean them, I use my air impacts to take most bolts loose and I reassemble with electric. I also have a Milwaukee fuel 3/8 I’ve used for years and is a great tool the battery’s fall apart on them but the tool is good. Snap on has been around over 100 years they have R&D invested in their tools that Milwaukee can’t touch.
Doing automotive professionally now for close to 30 years. I did not take to battery tools in the shop....like I did with building trades. I just kept going back to air.
But been slowly moving more to battery...seems like no matter how these electrics hit at top torque, sometimes the speed of the hits on air is more consistent, especially here in the rust belt
JMO
The way he said coming in at a wallet crunching $972, I don’t know why that made me laugh so hard
I said it in the last video, but the size of the SnapOn puts it among the 3/4" drive tools just with a mini 1/2" anvil. This even jives with the Beanometer readings.
Honda Crank Bolts Have A Special Socket That works much better to transfer power that would have worked better than a regular socket
I'm a high horsepower diesel mechanic (19-95 liter engines) and I've had the Milwaukee 1/2" high torque for 3 years with no noticeable loss in power.
I've owned both the CT9075 & the newer CT9080 and the difference is night and day. The new CT9080 is a freaking beast, scary strong. Of you've owned both you can tell just by pulling the trigger unloaded, it just sounds more aggressive
I got this gun yesterday, it's a beast. Have yet to find something it won't take off.
Ingersoll-Rand 1/2" cordless impact is the best. Heavy but puts all others to shame.
Yes my 7152 works great, I just bought the new snap on but still using the ir
Fwiw, I'll take made in USA, assembled in USA, over anything made in China.
Assembled in USA with motors, controllers, and bodys made in china. For 4 times as much, drinking the Snap-On koolaid hard.
You used to be able to say that about Milwaukee as well. The batteries and electronics for snap on are made in China like everybody else. Which is very unfortunate and a sign of the times
@@michaelmcgregor3108, you're 100% right. I was shocked when I found out Milwaukee wasn't made in the USA.
I used to work on Hondas for a living and i can say for certain that there was only one instance where my IR 2235tiMax could not take off a Honda crank bolt with a standard impact socket. I ended up needing to use my IR 19mm high torque impact socket on it.
2235ti on good air is a monster!
@@leokarasinski4217 Love mine. It sits most of the time only because the air hose situation at my shop is kind of annoying and I like the convenience of being cordless
@@firstlast--- im the opposite. My shop has great air and its easy to get to where I need it. So I run my air guns more than anything, so much so I'm on my second anvil in the 2235ti. The battery tools I like especially the small ones I use all the time. But the larger impact guns sit more than I use them
I've ran my snap on for 2 years it can do just about everything I throw at it I use it daily it's impressive
Ive had my 2767 milwaukee for 5 years and its still going strong. I cant say snap on is very impressive for me
12:00 This is when you get out your 12 foot breaker bar and just remove it anyway. 😆
I'm actually happy to see it be the top dog, for the price it should be.
The snap-on 9080 is Definitely a bad ass gun it breaks just about anything u throw at it only thing I don’t like about the gun is it runs outta juice pretty quick It needs a battery up grade for sure
😏Keep it snarky, I like it! However, I’d kill for an 80’s boxy Crown Vic. (3:42)
Milwaukee for cordless, Ingersol Rand for air tools, Snap-on for hand tools and I like Sunex for impact socket's.
Well, we can’t deny that Snap-On made a powerful 1/2” electric impact but $972 is ridiculous especially since the batteries aren’t interchangeable with brands such as Milwaukee or DeWalt.
I will forever keep using and purchasing Milwaukee cordeless power tools. Every Home Depot sells it, affordable price, commercial grade reliability and dependability, red is a good color (personal preference), batteries are plentiful and go on sale, etc.
Milwaukee all the way 🤙
Great video TTC
I am a Milwaukee fan. it's affordable. it's powerful and has treated me amazingly in all applications!!
Someone asked me how to take out the battery on a snap on impact the other day. My response was "Do you want the one person or the two person method?"
Given it's size and price it better bring the beans!
I often look at my Milwaukee and say "it ain't gonna fit!" but Snap Off just took that crown.
I wonder how long it takes to let the smoke out...
My Snap Off guy often looks at me funny when I tell him I need a new can of smoke for X tool.
Side note about wrist breaking ranking. You guys should try a Hutchins Hustler air file, or "industrial pneumatic straight line sander" as it says on the tool. Use one nearly every day and you'll have a new scale for wrist breaking. If you're not familiar with one just raise it above your shoulders and just try to stay on your feet...
Just to let everyone know to get full breakaway power from this gun dont just Ugga Dugga the trigger.
On off on off the trigger .
I am actually worried about snapping things off but still only use middle power to tighten
My workmate bought the CT9075 and its a good high power gun and I bet it's the same as the CT9080 but my Air Boss AW-140P that I paid $250aud for out paced it taking wheel nuts off a medium ridged Mitsubishi canter with 41mm hex nuts I think they're 20mm studs. The Air Boss is some cheapo Taiwan brand that our parts supplier ordered in probably by pallet loads as they had 200 in stock. on their site the 140P is the most powerful in the light weight range.
Thanks! The 3/4" 40V Makita still looks like the best bang for the buck to me.
I knew the moment the reason why Tool Manufactures making a stupid high powerful cordless Torque guns. Is for that dead ass Honda Crank Bolt.
How about testing the Ingersoll Rand 2145QiMAX 3/4” Drive Air Impact Wrench
Here's why Milwaukee will always be better than snap-on power tools. The batteries last longer than 5 minutes they don't break if you put them in a drawer and slam the drawer too hard they cost a third of the price you can actually kick them around and drop them beat on them be rough with them and they still function I've personally left my Milwaukee tools outside Frozen in the ground and thaw them out and they still worked and occasionally when there's a car kicking your ass and you get so frustrated you end up throwing your Milwaukee tool across the shop.. you don't have to worry because you can pick it up and get right back to work cuz you know it will still function. I have a full selection of Milwaukee power tools that I use professionally day in and day out and the only time I've burned out an impact gun is one of the first generation Milwaukee half inch impacts that I had already put quite a few years of use on.. I ran that thing to it's absolute limit trying to remove semi lug nuts.. which it did until it finally overheated and got too hot. And I don't know somebody that had been serviced regularly but one that had been ignored and neglected so the lug nuts weren't coming off without a torque multiplier anyway. I am extremely rough on my tools and the Milwaukee's hold up better than any of the other ones I've had. The snap-on's just can't compete and I've given my snap-on tools away because they are utter garbage compared to Milwaukee.
HEY MAN I REALLY LOVE THE SNAP-OFF TOOLS😆😆😆👍👍👍
yall gotta get the half inch drive 3/4 socket that has a super thick wall it wont flex and will remove those Honda crank bolts with ease.
Pleasure as always folks! Looking forward to the next
They have a 3/4 that’s a beast!
I have this gun and it's a unit for sure. I do like that it's assembled in the USA, but the trigger delay is rather annoying
I am not a fan of snap on. But I was impressed. Still can justify there prices for all there tools. I'll stick with astro ;)
I like their sockets, and ratchets...
You need the Honda crank bolt socket I’ve pulled the bolts out with a 3/8 impact and the heavy walled crank socket
There's a special crank holder tool for Honda use that and either impacts will take it off..
I have a maximum high torque impact I paid $175 for with a hard carry case battery and charger, it is rated for 1200 take off and my buddy wanted to compare it to his snap on. Granted I cant remember which model he had but my maximum crushed that thing when we tried them on peterbuilt lug nuts.
The size of that gun you'd have to use a extension on anything twice the price and size I'd hope it can be at the other guns.
Is that PowerStroke Judes green 1k impact driver??
I have a feeling Milwaukee will be coming out with a General High Tq now! I've had my 2767 since 2017 , 4yrs old last month
Nice intro, you know its seems alot like the street machine carnage intro, well it is the carnage intro just with your logo logo
Those Honda crank bolts are very tight. I go straight to my IR 3/4" on a 1/2" air line.
My friend got a Milwaukee something. We're Honda technicians and we recommend a super socket.
He got a snap on pneumatic and his Milwaukee does better and was cheaper.
I LOVE Snap on but never willing to pay thise insane prices. Mixing and matching is my go to! Milwaukee and Craftsman get the job done too ✔️
I have this gun, I ended up getting the 100th anniv edition, so it came as a kit, the 1/2 inch and 3/8 2 batteries and a charger for 1,570 cad but, I absolutely love em and the guys I work with enjoy the rare time there impacts are not strong enough so they use mine, will snap studs no problem 😂
My boss has this gun and it does have some beans... everyone goes to grab it when their gun isn't cutting it
Damn that rigid is impressive
Love to see the ridgid tested with a 9ah octane battery
OoOooooOoOoOoo this is gonna be a great video! Thank you sooo much TTC!
Yo TTC you guys are the best keep it up.
Used Milwaukee high torque took off track bolts the new snap on brushless could not remove. Could be a fluke but maybe it just hits different
Don't want too break my wrist tightening a bolt or loosening it, thank you.
1 min into the vid and I'm betting my ridgid high torque is still boss
