I've the snap on 3/8 and half inch ones also the drill to go with the 1/2 inch battery's there very good tools! But expensive I'm lucky as I got mine on very good deals as they had the wrong type plugs on them. They have good amp hours so the battery's last for ages plus the brake away torque on the 1/2 inch gun is very high so they undo very tight nuts

Snap on kit is very expensive but if you can get it cheap it would be rude to refuse! Not sure I'll be that lucky but there are lots of good quality tools just have to hunt out the bargains

I payed 350 for my half inch gun with a euro plug and one battery.
Then 100 for a second battery and 180 for the drill body.
I do Daf aid call out so use them out on the road and there very good to be honest if I was in the work shop all the time I'd have not bothered and stuck with air tools

Used a DeWalt gun recently, didn't like the spazzy two way trigger on it.

One part of the trigger makes it go one way, the other end makes it go the other.

Didn't like it.
