Snap-on...had 18v for almost 5 years and still works like the day I bought it. I've used the Dewalt and a Craftsman and its a night and day differance between them

Aholes! I've changed tires so many times on that truck that the lugs are getting worn out, but anytime someone else does it, it's all over the interwebbythingy. :mad:

Seriously, thanks for helping. It's good to have friends and family at the track.:hug:

You know I was just kidding.:hug::D

Most people don't know that a couple of years ago Pat changed Steve Coles tires at the track with a little help from me and he put them back on after steve raced. Steve never even thanked him. :rolleyes: Go figure.

I hope the truck was on a lift so Pat didn't have to bend over and expose........nevermind:joker:

I have the snap on 1/2 and it is great. 550 ftlbs and last quite awhile. I will be soon getting the new matco 1/2 that is coming out because it is litium ion and said to be 720 ft lbs

Just wanted to give feed back on the new matco 1/2 inch litium ion, I got one to demo today and put it to the test right away with the snap on side by side. The Matco is made my IR and I have found that the Snap on CT4850HO Out performs the matco. I used them Both side by side installing hydraulic row cleaners on a 24 row planter and the snap on had more guts and was balance better. The matco is about a pound lighter but with a heavy nose it seemed heavier. The nuts being tightened were 1 1/8 and torqued to 265 ft lbs and with a total of 48 and both guns doing one half of them neither ran low on battery.

I've have a few.

I have an 18 volt milwaukee, Makita, some crappy orange one and a snap on.

If you wanna tighten it and walk away, bang for the buck? Mule-waukee hands down. So god da*mn inefficient and heavy.

Wannna fly them on check 'em with a breaker and look flashy doing it twice as fast? Makita with an 18 volt lithium battery, less than half the size, less than half the weight, battery blows the mule-waukee away. BUT you have the check it with a breaker.

Oh, the good mule is $350 + and the Makita is $219. :D

The SnapOn is nice but expensive. The 28V Milwaukee is a huge heavy thing. I bought the new 18V Milwaukee #2662....higher tq rating than the 28V at 450lb/ft and less bulky. Should work just fine.

I just picked up a Snap-on 1/2" 18v yesterday. I didn't think it was too bad of a price at $450 out the door. I haven't had a chance to use it yet, but with all the positive feedback I've read about it, I don't think I'll be disappointed.

Milwaukee M18 P/N 2662-20 works great.
Has the weight and size of the 14.4V tool but the power of the 18V.
The M18 batteries sure last between charges too.
