Ya, we were talking 2 different things Josh. I'm sure it works great for under the hood of a pickup and you can't beat the size. I might hunt one down for at home but not for work.

I have changed my view of Snap-On vs. Milwaukee in the last couple months. I was die hard Snap-On for years, but 6 months ago I changed jobs. The company buys the power tools for us guys and it is all Milwaukee. I must say my Snap-On 18V stuff sucks horrifically compared to the Milwaukee's. The only impact that is worth buying in Snap-On is the CT761(I use mine almost every hour of the day at work) I had a 3/8" CT8810 and a 1/2" CT8850, they don't even begin to hold a candle to Milwaukee 3/8 and 1/2 of the same size. + I like Milwaukee's 5.0 AHR batteries! I thought Snap-On had Milwaukee beat with its CT761, but then one of my co-workers walked in one morning with an M12 3/8 impact, what a let down. We took them head to head, bolt to bolt and each could do what the other could:mad:, and he got it for less than $200(it was on sale):(. I still like that Snap-On "trivial toggle trigger" though.:thumb:

Went to Sam's Club the other day and saw this inspection camera, been watching them for a while, they closing them out. They originally were $79.98 and they had them marked down to $39.98 but went to pay for it and it rang up as $29.98. It came with a 8GB mini SD card & adapter and you can take pictures and video with it. Has a LED light built into the end where camera is and is also waterproof. I figure if the cat gets bowed up again and can't poop then we don't have to take him to the vet, we can take pictures and search online :)

You are right about that! The m12 is a brute! It will loosen y pipe bolts on a 1/2 ton truck, the snap on won't touch them.

I just bought a Milwaukee high torque 1/2 impact wrench. I haven't got to use it yet but I've been messing with it inside and I think I'm really going to like it. Seems like a very high quality tool.

If it's the fuel one it's a awesome gun I use mine at work for 1-1/8- thru 1-1/2 headed bolts on big steel flanges with lots of bolts, I've had it for two years hasn't let me down yet :thumb:

I have a new favorite. Got a "bolt buster", which is an induction coil. Had a bolt head red hot in 10 seconds, no more flame or wasting tons of pb blaster haha

I couldn't pick just one. I'd have to say my lift, Miller 252, Baldor bench grinder, air compressor and my Miller 250 syncrowave. One day I'll take time to actually learn the Tig since my buddy that is a pro never seems to have time to come show me . Anyone in the central Texas area near Waco that knows how to tig good ever want to come drink some free beer and show me the tricks of the trade and how to set the machine up for aluminum etc. let me know.

I've used it some on mild steel but that's about it so far.
