The snap on 18V cordless impact?

I want to buy one but don't want to pay the list price. Any good deals out there?

Unless you can find one used your probably sol. There arent really any deals to be had on snap on tools. You can check ebay.

I have been. I hate to buy used battery tools and they usually go about $350-400 when new is $500+

I compared the Makita to the Snap On tool. I picked the top of the line for both. The SO makes 75 ft lbs more torque than the M. But the SO is $540 and the M is $400. $140 bucks for 75 ft lbs and of course the cool factor of having a Snap On tool.

I have one myself. I don't think I would recommend you buy one unless you can get one for dirt cheap. 2 years or less and the batteries are junk.
to me it is like having a drinking buddy help you. after a while he gets drunk and is completely worthless when you need him most.

Any opinions on ingersoll rand cordless impacts?

Re: Any places to save money on
 

I`d be curious about those.They make the best air impact I`ve seen lately.I wonder who makes the Snap-On,could be IR.I`m sure they don`t.

Heck for 500 bucks I'ld drag out the air hose and my litle mac AW2800 3/8 impact. Now that is the best 200 bucks I've ever spent. That little thing is ruthless.

There are times and places where there is no compressor. When I am home I have no problem using the compressor, hoses, and IR air impact, rachet, etc. The garage where I am working on my Jimmy I can't have a compressor and don't want to spend $4-500 on the wrong one.
