ok maybe ott, but the CTEU7850 is a daddy compares I use mine everyday.

Its the best Gun Snap on have made, its Lithium Ion so the batteries wont die, you get a nice bag and 2 batteries in the kit.

If you search around you can get one for Ł560 brand new boxed like I did, similar price as the others although Ł560 is a big discount not rrp

they both have the same brake away torque which is just over 800nm on normal money so more than man enough and the battery's last for ages! Any one who say don't get one buy the new one has to much money and is just a snap on fashion victim lol

True but if they were the same price wouldn't you get the latest one?

It's more powerful by over 10%, and it's a little smaller and slightly lighter and has much better batteries

I've got the nicad and used the lithium one a lot and I prefer the nicad, it just feels better. It's heavier and just feels better when you're trying to undo something stubborn a bit like the difference between trying to break a lobster claw with a hammer on an anvil or trying to do it on the kitchen sink. Feels more solid when it hammers with the extra counter weight of the battery

I work mobile and find the lithium batteries don't last as long in the cold weather.

I've had mine a long time and it gets used every day and it's still going strong.

This is just for a treat for me, I ain't a mechanic but seen this replace breaker bars for Hub nuts and bolts almost with the transit techs

My use will be wheels when changing pads on my personal car on ring trip/track days if I ever get to one
