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?

cableguy0 · 01-26-2010, 08:37 PM

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.

**Thealien** · 01-26-2010, 10:33 PM

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.

Thanks I PMed him?

cdowns · 01-27-2010, 11:34 AM

you can get so many more non destructive tools for $500 i;ve never seen the need for impapact tools in a home shop

**special-K** · 01-27-2010, 04:14 PM

Mine got drunk and is worthless now.The beer is what costs you in the end.I mean the batteries.

fixit-p · 01-27-2010, 04:20 PM

I bought one for $150 at a police impound sale brand new check out http://propertyroom.com/ItemDetails.aspx?l=7233520 its hit or miss here.

**Thealien** · 01-28-2010, 06:38 PM

Any opinions on ingersoll rand cordless impacts?

**special-K** · 01-28-2010, 11:47 PM

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.
