Snap-On is going through an adaptor which will make a difference. I personally own the stubby Milwaukee and Its incredible. I would never pay for a Snap-On electric tool but that adaptor doesn't make a level playing field.

[@ToolDudeAnonymous]

It’s a welded on adapter making it a solid socket so the only loss (if any) would be in the length. But honestly in my opinion that’s like comparing a shallow vs deep socket.

It already did test it in a another video and it the same with the welded socket

Yeah but finding a socket that big in 3/8 drive is impossible.. Having said that it still shows the snap on is piss weak in comparison for the size

Thanks for all of your reviews. Because of your reviews, I have now invested in the Milwaukee High Torque 1/2 impact, Milwaukee 3/8 right angle impact (honestly the most amazing tool I have ever used), and the Milwaukee 3/8 extended reach electric socket wrench. Milwaukee is simply making the best power tools right now and it’s really not that close. Plus when you factor in the 5 year warranty, the value per dollar is just immense. I would love to see a comparison between DeWalt, Makita, Bosch and Milwaukee impacts (high, mid, low) with one winner being crowned. Doing your typical righting loosening tests, plus comparing tool only costs (torque per dollar), size/weight comparison, and warranty comparison would make for a great battery of tests. I have heard good things about Makita/Bosch but have never used them. Thanks for all of these great videos!

I just bought this exact Milwaukee 1/2”stubby last week or so - before seeing this video. It was just such a good price and people were talking about how great it was. This is the first tool as a licensed mechanic that I actually love and really enjoy using considering the power, size and price. Snap-on is a brand name and nothing more. Their air tools and power tools just don’t stand up as well as other tools in my shop. We’ve had a couple guys now trade in their snap-on air impacts and Mac tools air impacts because they work twice as hard as an IR titanium for more price.

So we are going to ignore the fact that the snap on had an adapter on it? Anyone that has actually turned wrenches for a living understand that any time you are adding extensions it adaptors you have to adjust your torque settings accordingly.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

That Stubby with the 6Ah is a beast, especially for the size. Thanks for watching.

[@ProxyFinal]

I had the 1/2 but I went 3/8 stubby. My only issue with the 1/2 impact wrench is that sockets tend to rub against the metal because the 1/2 anvil doesn't protrude out like the 3/8, but it also depends what socket brand you are using. I am going to get 1/2 if I ever get the M18 compact version.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

It really depends on the sockets you are using. The new M18 Compact is an awesome impact. Thanks for watching.

[@nickthompson1807]

You can get a m12 3/8” stubby kit and m18 1/2” gen2 mid torque kit for less than the snap on 2 battery kit with way more power,more compact size, and 5 times the warranty. Myself and everyone in my shop have always ran Milwaukee and we will continue to do so

I'm a huge fan of Milwaukee. I owned Many thousands of dollars in snap on electric tools as well as Dewalt electric tools, before I switched over to Milwaukee. Milwaukee is where I will stay. I believe they are leaders in electric tools. To be fair in the comparison, I would have liked to see you use the Milwaukee stubby 3/8 anvil impact. That way you can use the same socket and same adapter that the snap on used.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Thanks for the input. I do understand what you're saying, but we didn't have the Stubby in 3/8". There's really not a lot of power loss, especially with the welded adapter. Thanks for watching.

Milwaukee for the big win. I don't think you mentioned it, but in every scenario the Milwaukee broke those nuts free in a fraction of the time it took the snap-on. Very impressive.

[@dallaspower1]

The Snap-on is a 3/8” drive while the Milwaukee is a 1/2”. The socket adapter that was used in the Snap-on is robbing some of the torque it is capable of applying directly to the fastener. The easiest way to do a fair comparison would be to use a 3/8” Milwaukee as well. I have both Snap-on and Milwaukee and love them both. I do agree that Snap-on is way overpriced though.

[@ericgessner2618]

I wasn't sure if it was a 3/8 gun or 1/2 inch gun with a 3/4 socket on it

[@Shoptoolreviews]

The Snap-On is only available with a 3/8" anvil, and you can't find a 3/8" x 33mm socket. We can't use smaller fasteners because they won't hold up to this amount of power. Therefore, we welded a 3/8" to 1/2" adapter to a 33mm socket. The Snap-On is getting it's but kicked by a 2-year-old 12-volt Milwaukee that is less than half the price. It's not even close. Thanks for watching.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Great info. Thanks for watching.

[@niskytank]

Awesome review and comparison, thank you guys! Do you have any explanation for why modern wrenches typically have twice as much reverse torque as they do tightening torque? You mentioned removing takes less torque than tightening, but not by a 100%, right? If I recall, older impacts from 2010s were usually rated for the same amount forward and reverse, too, so something changed since then.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

That's a great point. Typically it was kind of a 1:1 ratio, forward to reverse, but reverse was always rated a little more because it takes less force to remove a fastener. Today, with the dawn of brushless tools, they're able to actually program power curves/output in the tools. So, they can actually apply more power in reverse than in forward. Thanks for watching.

Lol you know 10 years ago I started messing around with Milwaukee products cause my snap on impacts were breaking left and right. With in 6 months I fully converted over all my stuff to Milwaukee, since then I've never looked back at snap on products as a go to tool, not saying that everything snap on makes is junk, I do own some tools they make that are good. But their stuff is way over priced and 90% of the time it doesn't live up to what they say it can do. Also my Milwaukee 1/2 inch is 3 years old and still killing it, use it every day. 460 bucks got me two 5.0 amp batteries, gun, charger and case.
