I have had 2 snap on 1/2 impact , one blew up somehow . I never had a Milwaukee but I’ve used a 3/8 impact and it’s not too great .

[@suzesiviter6083]

I feel this was biased in the snap ons favour, I have had a well used Milwaukee apart, you are talking 4 extra screws to undue to grease it, like 10 seconds, plus it had no visible signs of wear on the anvil after a good battering, then we have the brushed motor, better batteries IMO. Snap on probably used loads of grease to make up for bad tolerances, where as Milwaukee has accurate machining and hence can use a less viscosity grease.

The $40 sets are the ones in the bottom drawer deformed, the $40 a wrench are the ones that last a lifetime and if they don't they do have a lifetime warranty that is actually honored. You don't have to buy Snap-on to buy quality, but the price isn't going to be much different if your buying equal quality.

Snap-on worked great for a year untill it started loosing power, and the batteries never hold charge for very long. The Milwaukee 4 piece kit (1/2 and 3/8 inch impacts, 1/2 drill, work light, batteries and charger cost me the same price as the 1/2 Snap-on and are still going strong after two years with no power loss and the batteries still last a long time. I did send my 3/8" impact in once due to the power switch failing. they replaced it and promptly got the unit back to me. My electrical power tool money for professional use goes to Milwaukee.

Trey G. This has been my exact experience with these tools as well, I used to be a die hard snappy guy and when I saw the 4 piece Milwaukee kit for a steal I figured I would get it for home use...

[@jaysazar]

I own both. The motor burned up in the Snap On after 11 months of daily use. The Milwaukee is still going strong after 2 years and the battery lasts longer between charges. Milwaukee is the clear winner in my opinion.

[@02Franxx]

I am a diesel mechanic and I own both the milwaukee 1/2" and 3/4" HD impact wrench. I have had the 1/2" one for almost 5 years and i use it nearly every day since i got it, it has been through many drops, oil spills, and plenty of other abuse and it still runs the same as when I purchased it. I also have four 4.0 batteries and one 5.0 battery and they have passed the test of time as they are all past there warranty date and I haven't noticed a drop in power or run time since i purchased them. There is one discrepancy in you comparison which is you used a brand new snap-on and a 2 year old milwaukee, wouldn't a improper amount of grease in the milwaukee impact mechanism affect its torque rating? I think so since the more friction the milwaukee has to overcome the less torque it can apply to the anvil. The diff. between it and the snap-on is that 1. it has a brushed motor which means it can cause fire if oil gets on it, not to mention a brushed motor requires maintenance due to wearable parts and a brushless motor has no wearable parts. 2.Snap-on has a lower amp-hour battery than milwaukee which means less work per charge and snap-on hasn't gone past 5.0AH in battery tech and milwaukee has the highest AH battery at 9.0 which is higher than ANY other portable tool brand battery so that says something in itself that milwaukee has better tech than snap-on in regards to battery power. 3. although you usually get what you pay for, this is not the case, first a brushless motor trumps a brushed one any time and second why would snap-on use brushed motor and double the price for it in comparison to the milwaukee?? although snap-on is hands down the leader in hand tools, when it comes to cordless power tools milwaukee beats snap-on in warranty, motor tech and battery tech (worlds only and first 9.0 18 volt battery) and the large variety of cordless tools. Not to mention for the price of one snap-on you get 2 milwaukees which is a far better investment when it comes down to an investment.

Remember he said that snap on is easily serviceable.... hence lack of lubrication would virtually be fault of the tool owner.... However as I stated in my comments, I drilled a small hole in the housing of my Milwaukee and screwed in a grease zert.... I can grease it with a grease gun... once a month....

[@williaimhaynes6679]

I give credit where credit is due.... All your statements are true and I reach for my Milwaukee for 99% of the jobs I use a 1/2" drive electric impact for.... However when I REALLY HAVE A SUPER TIGHT ASS BOLT..... I grab the Snap On..... Initial Trigger Torque is well over 1600 ft lbs.... That fist blow to the anvil drives harder than a 3/4 drive Milwaukee..... But you have to hit and release hit and release over and over.... once the bolts broken free RPM of the Snap On is 1.75 times faster than the Milwaukee..... The larger anvil and drum and arbor of the Snap on is essentially the difference between trying to break a 500 lb rock in half with a framing hammer verses a 50 lb sledgehammer...... The larger the Anvil is the more DYNAMIC or INITIAL Torque PRESSURE there is.... Hitting anything with a bigger hammer gets more results.... plain and simple.... The problem Snap on has is 2 things.... 1 the recoil .... The larger the hammer the slower the recoil.... Remember the motor is almost 2x as fast as Milwaukee, With 2x the required recoil time and 2x the driving speed of the drum that reduces the tools effectiveness at constant applied Torque..... Clicking the trigger on off on off on off also wears the brushes out 4 times faster so you are absolutely right..... Hands down the Milwaukee is the better tool for 99.99% of the work.... But when it can't make it happen.... grab the Snap On and use it wisely and patiently..... Hit release, hit release..... It'll remove bolts torqued over 1100 ft lbs with ease......

[@physix401]

What makes me feel mushy about snap-on is the fact that if you torque down a bolt to the max with it, you will then need to buy the Milwaukee to take it back out! The engineers of Snap-on forgot to ensure that nut-busting torque needs to be higher than forward torque.

I own a snapon half inch 18v ni-cad cordless impact. It is 13 years old. One battery pack quit charging 6 months ago! Never been taken apart. Rated at 575 in reverse. This thing has been a beast! Being a competitive hardcore diy guy I have very much enjoyed this gun. If you deal with salvage yards and massive amounts of rust, you need the big hammer. Seeing this video confirms what my hand feels when in the field. My gun has worked over many other guns rated at 32v. When I saw the first set of numbers I was literally thinking that your math was off, but then with the last test really showed off the big hammer. Something else worth saying is I never had any battery problems and it's by far the fastest 30 minute charger I've used. And being honest, I never took proper care of the batteries. I've pulled them off the charger repeatedly and worked both batteries from full charge till full discharge.... countless times. Seeing the service ability I'm deciding to get my gun serviced instead of replacing it. Batteries I'll bet are gonna be expensive.

Even the Snap-On dealer that services us sells BOTH of these tools and the Milwaukee seems to outsell. BTW, I'm glad "Real Tool Reviews" was able to put this test together, and I feel confident either purchase would be a great investment (granted mine was used, great deal for me, anyway)

[@dalejr8630]

I own both of these tools. I've owned the snap on since December of 14. The Milwaukee since March of 15. I bought the snap on because I owned the previous model and I am a sucker for green tools. I bought the Milwaukee because it came in a combo pack with a flash light and 3/8 impact, two batteries and charger for about 580. I was in the market for a 3/8 cordless impact, so I figured that was a good buy. I took the snap on impact home for the purpose of keeping the same batteries in my tool box. I can honestly say after using the Milwaukee, I have been pretty much disappointed with the snap on one. I feel it's not as powerful when it comes to breaking fasteners loose. The snap on has struggled to loosen lug nuts torqued to 160ftlbs and the notoriously tight Honda crank shaft bolt. The Milwaukee has not let me down on getting lug nuts loose on f550s. I am impressed daily(as with others in my shop that own one too) when I use it. I was not aware of the checking the number of charges feature of the snap on, that is handy. I am fortunate enough how ever to work in a shop where power tools are warranties for life through them, so if my Milwaukee anvil were to sheer, they would cover it.

Owned the Snap-on since the cordless impacts came out. Bought the NiCad 18volt 8 years ago and has been great this whole time with only one rebuild (which they charge $100 for). After I got it back, I opened it and the only thing that appeared original was the plastic case. My air impact only comes out a couple times a month. Their tools last longer period. I also own some of the Milwaukee M12 fuel tools that I like very much so this is not at all against them. They all have their place but for a big Cordless impact the Snappy wins hands down.

As a heavy equipment field technician, I have owned both the Snap-on, and the Milwaukee cordless impact. After about 6 years of daily use, the batteries on the Snap-on gave up the ghost, and would not hold a charge. Because the Milwaukee was cheaper than simply buying the Snap-on batteries, I got one. I think personally the Milwaukee hits harder, and and can do more work on a single charge. Also, after running it 6 days a week, outdoors, in dirt, silt, mud, covered in hydraulic oil, and bouncing around the back of my service truck for the last two years, it is rock solid. I haven't had a single problem, and although its looking pretty beat up these days, its still putting in work. I would hands down recommend the Milwaukee over the Snap-on, and after my experience with the 1/2" gun, I got the 3/8 fuel, the sawzall, drill, and the m12 ratchet. All of them get my stamp of approval.

I have 3 of the Snap on impacts, the first one quit working in reverse on me. When I met up with my dealer to send it out for repair I bought another one on the spot, that one actually came with a free set of impact sockets. So that gave me one for my tool box and one for in my truck. Then I bought a Harley that I keep in Florida for when I'm on vacation, so I bought another one to keep in Florida with the tool box I have down there. I also have 3 of the 3/8" Snap on impacts that have served me well. I have sent one out for rebuild so far and use both every day at work. I work for a International truck dealership as a level 4 technician. Some of the other guys have the Milwaukee impacts they have bought from the Mac tool dealer, I think mostly for the price difference. I like having the same battery and chargers for 1/2", 3/8", drill, flashlight and sawzall. I have since purchased the 3/8" and 1/4" ratchets and have been very impressed by the 3/8" I don't use the 1/4" that much and also have a long LED light that uses the same battery for those. Because I have so many I have 3 batteries on chargers for the impacts and 2 for the ratchets, so I always have freshly charged batteries on hand. It's important to note that my impacts use the older style batteries without the charge indicator, I believe the batteries you tested were the Nicad; That's what they are changing over too because they say the batteries last longer. You can see a pic of my tool boxes on my YT page.

Never cleaned internals or lubed it, ever. It's been rode hard and put away wet. Its working environment has been a true test to any power tool. Low temperatures in northern Canada, high temperatures working around and near the boiler, however I did wreck a battery because of high heat, I also melted the sole of my work boot.

Nutz4Gunz45 hell yes!! I would love to see the difference. I'm using the older 4.0 and want to get a new 9.0 for use with the sawzall. Didn't think of possibly more power using it on other tools. I'm sure even the 5.0 would make a difference over mine. I really hope someone does a test on the power differences. Real tool reviews would be the best though because he has the means to do it and is a scientific as he can be. Best tool reviewing channel hands down.

[@Dan-qk4ns]

Yes, I agree......I have done this with my tools and I think its ALOT more torque!!! The 9.0 batteries are amazing!!

[@rage10rules]

i got the 9.0 battery and its amazing. deff more powerfull then my 4.0 batteries. although those 4.0 batteries are 3 years old.

[@ubahd00d]

Is the 9.0 just a higher Amp Hour battery? If that's the case, you won't see more power, just longer run time.

[@MrBigTexFyre]

Steven Seagal True unless the 9.0 battery has a higher C rating. In that case it can supply a higher continuous current draw. Layman’s term: supplies more available juice to the motor. Think of it this way. Take two 1-gallon jugs of water. Poke a 1/4 inch hole in one and a 1/2 inch hole in the other. Both jugs contain the same amount of water but the one with the bigger hole allows more water to flow. In simple terms that’s how C ratings are. Higher C ratings allow more current flow. Hope that sheds a little light on the subject.

[@joshpinson5513]

Own them both,Milwaukee M18 is my go to tool(s). Had a lot of trouble with my Snap on over the course of a couple years,along with weak,junk batteries. Since upgrading to Milwaukee,I've had zero issues with any of them. From 1/4" impact driver,to 1/2" Impact,grease gun...etc,I now own many of them,and they work flawlessly. The batteries are amazing,last and charge quick. Dropped one in a bucket of used engine oil,they replaced it free of charge with a new one. So,great warranty as well. Seems I was in an argument with my Snap on guy every time my impact broke.....as with all their tools. I'm no longer a snap on customer,but am a happy life long Milwaukee customer.

[@Codeman785]

The Milwaukee absolutely destroys the snap on AND it's a 1/3 of the price

[@JAKOB1977]

how did it destroy it, besides price...from here it looked like there where a massive difference in the main impact feature with a rod double the size and a hammer also massively bigger. I don't own any of them, way beyond my need for impact torque.. a good and solid sub 500nm is sufficient for moir.

[@nathaneller251]

I have the Milwaukee. I'm a tow truck operator, I change 4 to 6 tires per day. It zips off every lug nut I've put it on. I also used it for some axle nuts with ruined threads on a rusted Ford explorer, came right off no problem. I've had it since it first came out. I have no issues with it. It's one of the best tool investments I've made. Hope this helps someone.

[@Autofixpals]

Awesome review. Though the SO impact may be built with heavier components. I think I would much rather put the extra 400 bucks in my pocket. You could buy one Milwaukee kit with batteries and 2 extra bare tools for the price of one SO impact... The extra effort that SO put into its impact IMO is not worth it being twice the price as the Milwaukee.. The SO impact does not offer a good value IMO.. Then there is the Dewalt dcf899dh and most powerful Makita that all cost a lot less than the SO Brushed impact... Too many options that offer a better value. Is the SO impact longer? It looks like it might be.

[@RealToolReviews]

Thanks! And yes, the Snap-on is 1/2" longer.

[@Autofixpals]

Absolutely your paying mostly for the name and the entire SO business model. Their business model is expensive. If they sold there tools in retail stores I think the prices would be on par with there competitors but maybe 10-20% more expensive vs 100+% more expensive.. But some of SO tools are worth it and are clearly best in class. I just don't think their air or electric tools are worth the price or best in class.

[@Autofixpals]

I forgot to mention that a lot of mechanics buy SO because of the easy credit they offer to just about anyone in a uniform. I've asked a Lot of the new guys why they spend so much on the tool trucks when there are plenty of good alternatives that offer better value.. The answer is almost always because of the weekly payments and some will say because everything else is crap.. Lol #toolsnobs

[@retreadz6971]

Convenience is probably the biggest reason I still buy some tools from the trucks. Looking for receipts and making a run to NAPA/Oreilly/etc to replace something is annoying (even when possible). Worse is taking the time to box something up and mail it back to wherever for repair or replacement. That said, most of my "tool truck" tools were bought at student pricing and now only account for about 60% of what is in my box. If it weren't for that initial pricing, they would probably only account for about 10%. I consider myself lucky that I've not had to fall into the easy credit trap as I went into this field with enough savings from a previous career to avoid that, but I can certainly understand the temptation.

[@nonyobussiness3440]

Auto Fix Pal here's the thing SO has the better name so people are going to buy it. They're flexing

[@SantanaTelevision]

I have used both. Personally, I prefer the Milwaukee, it feels more balanced in the hand, especially with prolonged use. Also, using a deep well socket eliminates the offset issue brought up at the beginning. I've been working with Snap on stuff my whole career and I really like their stuff, I just can't bring myself to pay the prices of some of their stuff. Like he said, $760 bucks for the kit. for a 1 and 2 year warranty. Snap On isn't dedicated to making quality products that they stand behind. They're at the top of the food chain and set their own prices, they want to squeeze out as much money as they can from a product while minimizing it's cost and warrantability. (I E. you have to prove you own the tool and are the original owner, same goes for hand tools by the way).

I own the CT8850 in that same green and I work for a auto wreckers in Canada. I have only had the tool for a year now, but no troubles yet. My main concern was just the tool getting damaged (Mostly just the plastic case that holds it together) But that too is just another replaceable piece you can buy at anytime. I love that convince of being able to fully service the tool yourself! But it definitely comes at a cost.

I'm a mechanic and we have Milwaukee, snap on and Ingersoll rand in our shop. All we use is cordless so we put em through their paces and tested them all as far as removing bolts. When one wouldn't get the bolt off we grabbed the other just to see. Milwaukee is strongest, snap on is second and Ingersoll third. As much as we use them we really don't expect to get 5 years out of any of them but guaranteed to with Milwaukee plus it was the cheapest. None of them have failed yet.

[@SteveRobReviews]

I guess if I was a tech I'd buy the Milwaukee at half the price and twice the warranty . It would be nice to hear from techs themselves wether the torque difference is required. It's a expensive trade buying tools to do your job . If I can buy two Milwaukee's that will last 10 years under warranty for the price of one snap on , well does the snap on last ten years ?

[@Tunderpimp]

STEVE ROB the problem with store-bought stuff is when you're on the job and it breaks you can't get a loaner tool. the guys with the store-bought stuff have to buy another tool and then return it. one of our new guys was borrowing my stuff. the nice thing about the tool truck is the guy will come out to you and give you a loaner while your tool is being returned. the tool truck tools are for professionals because of the convenience of never being without a tool.

Very good video. I am a certified tech for the last 30 years. I owned every kind of snapon cordless tools. Snapon is WAY TOO EXPENSIVE. Battery prices are rediculous.

I took 7 year old tool without recipt to milwaukee service center and NO QUESTION ASKED they fixed it. Try this with snapon hah. My profissional advice is MILWAUKEE tool is a winner. My all cordless snapon tools are sitting in the bottom of tool box catching rust and dust. Reason after original battries stop working surprisingly exectly after 13 month I never bought new ones because of the rediculious price. I will NEVER BUY again snapon cordless tools again. PERIOD.

[@TheMechanicalPhilosopher]

So, I take it that the Mil is impacting faster to build up its superior torque with smaller impacts so the mechanism doesn't have to be as heavy. Is there an impact rate listed for the two? As a person who does all kinds of work it would seem silly to invest in a Snap battery system over a Mil, Dew, Mak, Hit, Rid, Ry. There is a lot less grease in that MIl, but there are so many variables, what kind of grease, what formulation of metal, shape of anvil..... It might be just right for the application. Did you see any wear? Thanks for taking them apart. Even though we don't know all of the details of what we are viewing, it gives us a great opportunity to learn together and so much more to argue about.

[@Jermdizzle]

More importantly, what does a SO anvil look like after 2 years of constant use with no servicing? It's a retarded test to even line up one tool at the end of its life cycle vs. a literally brand new tool.

[@phishin81]

Exactly! And at 2 years the milwaukee isn't even halfway through its life, remember it's got a 5 year warranty. My 3/8 milwaukee is going on 3 years old with heavy everyday use and it still kicks ass. The trigger does hang up sometimes so it will be getting sent in for service soon but if it were a snap on then I'd be s.o.l

[@cuvannguyen426]

I am a license mechanic and a fan of Milwaukee. My 1/2" Milwaukee impact anvil sheared off after 3 year daily usage. I took it in for service and took it back after paid a repair fee of $255 Cadadian. It was said the failure was due to using a 1/2" drive impact for a 3/4" drive impact. The video shown that the drive is not design to take the torque delivers by the motor. I did not agree with the service centre.

I owned the snap on 6650 and never had a problem. I now have an 8850. The mass of the hammer and anvil gives me what I want. The hard hit when I'm breaking loose a fastener. I'd rather hit the trigger for a ten seconds, rinse and repeat than hold the throttle for a long time on the Milwauke. And the serviceability makes it a hands down winner for me. It may only have a one year warranty but you'll NEED the longer warranty on the Milwaukee. Also, sending the tool in for general maintenance is usual not a warranty issue (do you have to pay to have it cleaned and lubed after a year? After two it looked woefully in need) AND you are without your tool while it's off to the shop, either way.. Seeing the size of the hammer/anvil and what you did to pull the tools apart was an eye opener. I've heard of a lot more issues with the Milwaukee than the Snap On. Snap On may not be the consistent number maker but the reliability and serviceability is obviously the deal maker or breaker. I'll keep my Snap On.

[@nutz4gunz457]

The Snap-On is a better built impact. In field work I need something I can take apart quick and service and get back to work if I need to. The CT8850 is just that. It has great power and can handle the heavy abuse I give it. I use the Fuel at home when I do side work. This is a great affordable tool also. It does break nut and bolts also. My friend has a Fuel that he uses at work and was working on a mini x. Taking the bucket off he was hammering strait for 15 seconds and snap the anvil twisted apart. We took the gun apart and found it had nearly to no grease. Metal shavings everywhere. He finished the job with my Snap-On. He then bought him one.

I've had my Milwaukee for close to 3 years now and it's held up to the abuse no issues using it daily in professional use. Couldn't justify the the snap on one considering I can buy the Milwaukee fuel m18 kit with 3/8" and light for less than the price of just the snap on impact. But snap on is always priced about 30-40% more than your average tools.

[@NoahKuzel]

It isn't always just about impact strength, BPM, and total torque. Snap On will generally be better because of how the internals are made. Do they have pressed metal, centered metal, or forges gearing? Which one has more glass fiber reinforcement? What kind of polymerase materials is the plastic or plastic overmold is the housing made of. I can go on and on.
