Snap On's New "Milwaukee Killer" is the Most Expensive High Torque You Can Buy: CT9080

[@TorqueTestChannel]

To clarify, not ALL of the CT9080's parts are sourced in the US even if assembled here. For instance its battery pack is made in Taiwan, with the cells inside no doubt Korea or similar. Which makes a lot of sense considering where some cordless components can realistically be found. Despite its price, were you surprised at the performance of this one considering the beans their smaller impacts are known for putting out? Torque of TTC is working in product development for Astro Tools who also make impact wrenches (air). TTC is not the only testing out there, always consider multiple sources when looking at a tool!

[@mcmillan1963]

I have been purchasing Snap On tools for 41 years. Every rechargeable tool including, flashlights, ratchets and impacts have come up short. All products are short lived and become obsolete almost overnight. On my first 1/2 cordless impact kit the batteries became obsolete within a year Snap Ons came out with a retrofit adapter for a new design battery to fit the tools it was a joke. I have moved away from the over inflated tool truck products. It's pretty much like dealing with Mr. Haney on the Green Acres sitcom. A word of advice to you young mechanics, over inflated tools prices doesn't make you a better technician, finding less expensive tools to get the job done makes you a smarter technician. As you get older and look back, you'll wish you would have saved that tool money for things that really matter.

Hand tools, I still respect snap on. Power tool though, I'd have to pass

[@ChesterTheSpider]

Agreed. My dad is an experienced mechanic and he works out of an old craftsman toolbox he got on sale at sears. The box is probably 20 years old and still holds tools just fine. He did invest in some snap on pneumatics that have finally started to show their age (probably nearly 15 years old). Fortunately, I was able to acquire the same sense of value and have a decent set of tools that I procured at rather large discounts by going second hand or simply understanding the type of quality I need for weekend work.

Good stuff. I'd also want to point out that the Snap-on CT-9080 and Ct-9075 internals are beefy. These have bigger bearings and anvils than a lot of the competitors, and the caged brushless motor is better protected for longevity.

Air tools would be either Ingersol Rand, Astro, Air Cat, or the Thor gun, I’d have to look into them more before purchasing. For a scope I’d go with Pico, and for meters Fluke. But that’s just my two cents.

[@tylertimmons5543]

Some old timers tell me to help out impact guns grab the socket and twist as hard as you can in the direction you were going to be using the impact gun as you use it. Personally I’ve noticed that helps obviously. Could you do a test to see if the help is just the added torque I’m giving by twisting, or if it’s actually helping out the gun?

[@disgruntledegghead6923]

Those old timers aren't used to the new style tools and their tendencies to grenade sockets. So yeah, help it all you want!

Would love to see more 3/4 air impacts being tested. Electric is cool but tried and true air is always good to have around.

[@kirbywinters1291]

Unfortunately air can’t go everywhere I can pack my battery powered stuff to the bone yard easier than the air compressor trailer and all of the tools that come with it

[@sophiashepard9770]

I have gone to alot of sites that legit don't have enough air power to run a 1 inch impact or have alot of water in their lines. I just pack my 3/4 milwaukee impact and it has never let me down yet. There are times where yes I need to run the 1 inch impact and we have to run it for a hot second to get the job done but most times my cordless milwaukee gets the job done. Honestly it's a toss up. Just depends on where your at or have access to air or not

[@cloudrehzii]

I have the dewalt impact and never came across a bolt/nut it couldn’t break loose . Plan on getting the Milwaukee racket wrench tho . Whoever buys snap on tools are just crazy . Then again working out a shop you can pay payments so that’s probably the only reason they’re in business

Had several snap on electric tools. Won’t go back even if they halved the extortionate prices. Always seem fantastic on the van when new, but a year down the line and all the batteries are dead and the guns are on there last legs. Milwaukee soldier on for years for a lot cheaper.

[@smeerdsn]

As a snap on owner(90% of my tools are snap on, not including my box), the new impact is awesome! I traded my old one in for the brushless and I'm not mad about it. My tools have made me money hand over fist, so I'm not worried about dropping a grand on a new impact knowing it'll make my life much easier when I'm away from shop air. The vibration doesn't bother me much simply because I place my hand on the back side of the impact and that, for me at least, reduces a good majority of the vibration from said impact. Plus I have much less headache turning in a power tool for warranty with snap on vs. milfuckee

[@mattd19902010]

trying to justify buying a overpriced tool brand is hilarious you could buy 3 of the Milwaukee tool only and have them as spares. Non of my Milwaukee power tools have ever failed. But if your paying 3x the price of other brands the warranty replacement better be seamless . Hand over fist? More like snap on fisted you.

I was going to mention that as well. Snap On has absurd prices and we can all agree on that, but most of us rarely ever pay retail unless it’s small stuff. Drivers are pretty good about dealing great discounts. I only mention this because the price of this tool gets constantly mentioned over and over and over throughout.

Imagine if Makita decided to put a half inch anvil on that XGT… it’s smaller, more powerful and cheaper with better battery options.

[@TorqueTestChannel]

I'm unsure if a 1/2" anvil would survive, but it would be hard to not call it the top dog in 1/2" that's for sure. Of course that's if the 1/2" anvil brings the same force as the 3/4"

[@alexmills1329]

@@TorqueTestChannel I assume it would based off of seeing how your testing went with 3/8 and 1/2 inch went. But yeah I can definitely see how at these power levels a small anvil probably wouldn’t be long for this world. It will be pretty crazy to see if all these tools start to plateau due to maxing out the material properties of a forged anvil.

I used to work on Hondas for a living and i can say for certain that there was only one instance where my IR 2235tiMax could not take off a Honda crank bolt with a standard impact socket. I ended up needing to use my IR 19mm high torque impact socket on it.

[@bobthompson4319]

PRO HONDA TIP: the crank bolt SHOULD NOT EVER be taken off with an impact wrench. It can ruin the crank bearings by putting dents in them, scoring them and scratching them. Iv never personally taken any of the ones iv done with an impact wrench. The highest spec for the crank pulley bolt is 185 ft lbs. And they take way more than that to remove. To do it with out an impact you need to get the tool that holds the pulley and a socket that's the right size 2 long breaker bars. Then put the tool on a breaker bar and get it to rest against a very solid surface. And the take the other one and a jack and get it at the correct angle on the jack so you can use the jack on the bar and the weight of the car to break it lose. And because of the tool most of the force or torque will be taken by it and not the brass crank bearings.

[@bradclayton2912]

I have the snap on, great gun, plenty of power. It’s not an all the time tool, I have a mg725a for most things and will break out the monster when needed. yeah I got mine on promo for around $725 with battery and charger, i have a variety of 14.4 snap on tools and all have been great used every day but I treat them like expensive tools and clean them, I use my air impacts to take most bolts loose and I reassemble with electric. I also have a Milwaukee fuel 3/8 I’ve used for years and is a great tool the battery’s fall apart on them but the tool is good. Snap on has been around over 100 years they have R&D invested in their tools that Milwaukee can’t touch.

[@richardsworldtraveleryoutu9274]

about 10 years go I tried to remove a crank bolt when I had a 94 Supra. I broke lots of tools and nothing would loosen it. I even had a 3/4 breaker bar with a 6 foot pole and that didn't work. I went to Harbor Freight and bought an Earthquake 3/4 drive impact wrench and that bolt came off in 1 second. I wasted a whole weekend trying to get that bolt off and that tool only took 1 second.

[@jsportgarage7665]

Well, we can’t deny that Snap-On made a powerful 1/2” electric impact but $972 is ridiculous especially since the batteries aren’t interchangeable with brands such as Milwaukee or DeWalt. I will forever keep using and purchasing Milwaukee cordeless power tools. Every Home Depot sells it, affordable price, commercial grade reliability and dependability, red is a good color (personal preference), batteries are plentiful and go on sale, etc. Milwaukee all the way 🤙

[@aaronbritt2025]

Was going to buy one of these today, but I want red and my guy's only got blue. Thought I'd update you on the price... It's up by $100. It's now $1073 for the CT9080 kit (two batteries and a charger). $607 for the bare tool. The Milwaukee is only up $10 to $260 (on Amazon, bare tool. $430 as a kit).

[@gb361TX]

That's why there is a special Honda crank bolt impact socket that can be used with an 18v Milwaukee and will break loose with ease, sometimes sockets matter.

Haven’t had to send out this one yet. But I’ve never not been given a brand new gun back with my serial number engraved in it.
