Just got the Milwaukee's I'll see how they do. For the price (got two free batteries, both ratchets under $380) i had to try, the snap on is more than double not including batteries.
I had to of the snap on extended electric ratchets,and they just don’t last that long if you use them like I did ,that is 50 bolts a day consecutively. and yes, I lubricated the shit out of them. For torque and speed you just can’t beat pneumatics which I still use. The electric ratchets are great. If you use them sort of sparingly I’m going to try the Milwaukee because it’s half the price and if you’re going to be burning them up well why waste of money. Keep on rockin.
I bought the short version because it fits inside dashes better and the paddle hasn't been an issue enough times for me to really notice. But the twist selector becoming inaccessible because I underestimate how long a bolt is and now its stuck up against a frame rail can be a total pain in the ass. I do appreciate how tough because they hold up to more torque than I can manually apply. I have dropped mine on concrete multiple times, its been given more than a few surprise oil baths but it still works perfect in the year I've had it so far minus 1 led for the battery charge indicator but it last me multiple days on the 2.5 battery. Not to say the snap on isn't bad, but imo you buy the tool truck for the warranty coming to you instead of waiting for it to be shipped.
I’ve made the decision to purchase a Snap-On ratchet, however, I can’t decipher which model to purchase. I’m debating between the CTR768 - 70 ft lbs/175 RPM Or CTR867 - 60 ft lbs/275 RPM Which would you recommend?
Snap on will never be able to compete with milwaukee. It's 3x the price and 1 year vs 3 year warranty. I had 3k worth of snap on battery tools, sold everything for milwaukee and never looked back
@@weldingjunkie 🤷🏻♂️ I clean mine often. Dont get me wrong the camera makes them look more clean than they are. They have cuts and knicks and chips out of them all over too.
@@weldingjunkie try some kimball Midwest wipes too. I mean they do eventually get to a point where they can’t be cleaned so have to stay on top of them from the start it’s not easy for sure

Thankfully I’ve had great success with my snappys. I use them everyday most of the day no warranty issues at all

Great video! I currently have the first gen fuel ratchets and I’m planning on buying a high speed extended set.
I would suggest the insider ratchet myself. Really ended up not being a fan of the high speed ones. Too low of torque
Yeah man i bought it the other day and it doesn’t have torque i wish i had gotten the insider instead for $50 more
I think price is a huge factor. They are comparable, but the price is not.
👌👌👌
Truth
Milwaukee Right angle impact for torque, Ratchet for Speed.. application dictates the tool
I just buy used brushed snap on, when people upgrade to brushless
Nice!
So you know the fuel model before the high speed was way more powerful but a good bit slower and a far larger head
Yes correct. A bulky monstrosity but looking forward to the new pass through version. 55 ft lbs and 350 rpm’s
i have the 3/8 long and short snap on electric ratchet is it worth getting the 1/4?
If you like the 3/8” ones then yes. I use mine all the time for interior work and timing belt jobs
I’ve made the decision to purchase a Snap-On ratchet, however, I can’t decipher which model to purchase.
I’m debating between the
CTR768 - 70 ft lbs/175 RPM
Or
CTR867 - 60 ft lbs/275 RPM
Which would you recommend?
The 768 is the brute which is low speed high torque. I own one and like it but it’s very slow. I prefer the 867 which I believe is the brushless one

lol that statement is so untrue it’s not even funny 🤣
@@Enrightauto I don't think a single part is untrue but do tell😂
They all look newish I beat the snot out of mine even cleaning them they look way more used. Are these all for your home garage?
Nope they are used daily but I use tub on towels often. 👌
@@Enrightauto that’s what I use too.. they work phenomenally but mine still look super used vs yours. I tried to get them looking decent
@@weldingjunkie 🤷🏻♂️ I clean mine often. Dont get me wrong the camera makes them look more clean than they are. They have cuts and knicks and chips out of them all over too.
@@Enrightauto that’s prob what it is the cam. I’ll have to see if I can get them cleaner
@@weldingjunkie try some kimball Midwest wipes too. I mean they do eventually get to a point where they can’t be cleaned so have to stay on top of them from the start it’s not easy for sure
Why you not a fuel fan? To expensive for you???
Huh? Never said I wasn’t a fuel fan. I have Multiple Milwaukee fuel tools
