Re: Battery powered Impact Gun recommendations?
 

I like Snap-On....It really comes down to if you "USE" your tools or if you simply use them...Day in and day out you can't afford to be waiting for junk tools to recharge or be replaced when you need them the most.My thought process has always buy the best you can and you will never be disappointed.Remember used Snap-On is just as good as new...just a little bit more seasoned. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Snap On hand tools are the best, and the only ones I own. But I think their name gives them TOO much credit for their air and battery powered tools. I would bet that neither are actually made by them and are probably "restickered" tools from someone else. I would take IR air tools over theirs any day of the week. Same for their electric stuff, usually overpriced and underpowered IMO.

Correct...I use IR air tools daily..Very nice tools and you also pay a ton for them. Their high speed 6" grinders (7700 RPM) are killer...But, wow do they suck a lot of air..

I ended up buying a slightly used Snap-on CT4850. Of course once I got it I now find out there is a CT4850HO with more power. Anyone know what the difference in torque is, in everyday terms? Snap-on has a snazzy website for the gun that advertizes 650 pounds of "breakaway torque" but their specs list the torque as 400 lbft vs the older CT4850 with 350 lbft.

Here's the website: http://www.motherofallcordlessimpactwrenches.com/

For the most power I think the Snap on brand has it covered.But for normal use and if you torque the lug nuts correctly the Dewalt 36 volt works GREAT!And doesen't cost an arm and a leg.
