Thinking of getting a snap on cordless impact wrench, i like the idea of not having to drag an air line around the garage. Anyone got one or used one and can give an opinion?? Thanks

 

my mate got a clarke 1 from machine mart was under 100 notes comes with 2 batteries and life guarentee and good quality

 

Didnt think of machine mart. defo gonna have a look at them. and lifetime guarentee cant crumble at that. Cheers mate

 

Iv'e got the snap on 18v high capacity gun and i't really good, i don't bother with my IR windy gun at all now , batt last for ages but only take an hour or so to charge so keep one on charge and you cant go wrong
Deffo worth the price tag
Cheers Ally

 

yeh what is the price tag on one of those ? Around 400?

 

Snap-on 18v gun is the absolute DB's.
Over 400lb/ft of torque, it will undo wheel bolts, hub bolts or anything else you throw it at.

Do not even compare with a machine mart special, my 2 year old daughter would do better with her bare fingers.....

Ł400 will secure one from a friendly dealer...

 

I've got one, as above, wouldn't be without it, not found anything it won't undo. also got the 3/8" one and 1/4 drive one!

 

Bloody hell you must like them if you've got 3 lol

 

Really want one now. Definitley gonna get one over an air one.

 

you cant beat snap on for quality and service well worth the price tag we use them on the rally car at events and track days on our cars etc and i have never had a problem with them and they do last for ages and plenty of torque in them

 

mine was great for 6 months then started to lose the abilaty to undo bolts got a clarke one after that as i could not afford to replace it and it has been much better than the snap on one

 

take it back to snap on then if its getting weak after onyl 6 months you get a years warranty on impact stuff

 

Yep, got the torch and matching water pistol too

 

Had a 18 volt Snap On one for years now, had to change the batteries but apart from that it will just about undo anything !

 

These have a 12 month warranty. Why would you not get it sorted??

Did you buy it 2nd hand??

 

Yes, better than any 24v guns I've used.

 

Well i've had my snap on 18v gun for 3 years now and its never let me down. Think one of the battery is on its way out. Just invested in the snap on 18v drill aswell.

Good thing is that the batterys / chargers are compatable with all the 18v tools.

 

have a look at mac, as i,ve got one 250 with 2 batt and a tourch! 400 mn i think its better value than snapon that

Makes life sooo much easier when your doing stuff on the fiddle and at the road side. I couldnt live without mine now... Ive got a 3/8 Blue Point one too. Defo worth it.

 

i bought a second hand 18v one from our dealer.wouldnt charge so he got me another battery and paid 130 for it.turns out the funked battery pins were bent hence why it wasnt charging.fixed n job done.cracking gun althought i only bought it for home to work on fiesta lol

 

one of the best things you can have at home and keep an eye on ebay they do come on their some times to

 

Wow. proves one thing

 

Sorry, the Mac 19.2v is not even their own gun. Also available under the brand 'Techway'

Utter shite IMO and a waste of 250 hard earned........

 

ive got the 18v 1/2" snap on one deffo a must have its a fantastic tool,
got mine for 350 from me snap on man

 

got a 18v boschman couldnt afford a 400 quid snap on but this has been goin for 3 yrs now and still very good paid 60 quid for it

 

i got a second hand one for 150, boss bit of kit. to get them rebuilt with new inners and batteries is only 70 quid too

 

Erm, actually the flat rate repair cost for the gun will be Ł75 + shipping + Vat and that doesn't include the batteries.
A battery rebuild can be any where between Ł12 and Ł50 plus shipping.
Well worth doing if you can pick up a beaten specimen for bugger all.....

 

I've got the 3/8" one and that undoes wheel nuts. Not wheel nuts that have been overtorqued and I would like the 1/2" one to go with it. 3/8" one great for engine rebuilds, exhaust fitting, undertray removal etc.... Brilliant tools, well worth the money!!

 

Picked up a Snap On 18v battery gun off ebay & I use it every chance I get. Got some extra batteries as well so they get used with the gun & the older worn batteries used with my torch.

 

you chaps with the newer style 18v guns the ctu6850's and the late 4850's with the green base on them should give the new lithium 18v batterys a go!!

twice the battery life lighter, no discharge while sat on the shelf, make a mega gun even better!!

 

ooo where can i get lithium batterys? i'll have to ask my dealer..

I have the newer type 18v and it's very good, better than the mac/ingersoll rand and the clarke offerings, i've used all three.

Alsio have the 3/8" one which as said, exhausts and undertrays!

 

I believe there is a deal on them later in the year.....
You will need tools with the GREEN power connector and a RED battery charger.

 

correcto as said above, green base, red charger, you can trade in your old ones too mate and get 60 quid for it which is handy if its shafted.

 

my charger has a red bottom

 

No, the battery connector on the gun needs to be green otherwise you can't use lithium batteries.
The charger needs to be completely red

 

I have the 6850 1/2inch and the 4410 3/8 inch wrenches. Both fantastic. I don't bother with air at all any more. I was thinking of up grading my batteries to lithium. Good to here there is a positive difference with them.

 

just upgraded to a ctu 6850....what a gun.

 

I have the 18v version and when fully charged,probs has more torque than some air impact guns, has 2 batteries so when one is being caned on bottom pulley bolts and subframe bolts, the other is gettin TLC .

Very very handy.... i highly recommend one

 

Still not got one but just come back up on offer so think ill be getting one real soon
