Snap on got away with super over priced tools for many years now they have some strong competition and they have to change their ways or be out of business

[@charliehustle2579]

Snap on is not going anywhere bud. They are the cream of the crop for professional mechanics. I got rid of all my battery powered snap on tools for the milwaukee line up but nothings going to replace the quality and feel of snap on ratchets, sockets, screw drivers, specialty tools etc etc...

mechanics say Milwaukee is affordable but contractors say its expensive lol

Mechanics also make twice as much as they should and contractors make half what they should. A little exaggerated but its true.

Milwaukee is a great value/quality ratio. Great quality at a reasonable price. For me as a DIYer, the M12 series is perfect.

Not hating but i say milwaukee is a bit overpriced, in my opinion makita has a better value to quality ratio

Thats why i picked makita

[@MrSubaru1387]

Makita doesn't have anywhere near the amount of automotive specific tools. Tool for tool, Makita is more expensive than Milwaukee. I have both Makita and Milwaukee power tools.

[@InsuranceIsLegalizedRobbery]

Lukie4ever Bass I have tools of both Makita and Milwaukee, Both are expensive.. but the real issue(s) for most people are mainly 2 things: firstly (availability) of tools, with Milwaukee you can find many tools as easy as going to visit the Home Depot store, if not available at the store, then at Home Depot website, 2ndly (warranty) Milwaukee beats up other brands by 5yrs warranty on tools, & 3 yrs on batteries, and beside of what mentioned above.. there’s a 3rd advantage is that the wide selection of tools, whether it’s M18 or M12 line of tools

Bought a M12 fuel 3/8 ratchet kit, INSTANTLY, hooked right in, have like a dozen M12 tools, like 5-6 M18 tools

[@kingsporttoolreview8703]

Excellent Video. Milwaukee has been the #1 "Go To" power tool brand for Electricians, Cable Technicians and Plumbers for decades. Home Depot buys Milwaukee power tools in mass bulk and as a result they have the best Milwaukee deals (often better deals than Amazon). If you have a Graybar store in your area they alway have a huge selection of Milwaukee power tools, but Graybar is more expensive than Home Depot but they have a much larger selection. Unfortunately, Graybar also doesn't have stores all over the U.S. like Home Depot does, so access to a Graybar store might be limited depending on where you live.

[@panthers865]

As a home DIYer, I’m all in with the Milwaukee M12 and M18 series. The tools are fantastic. I stick with Tekton for sockets and HF for ratchets. I couldn’t see the justification in Snap-On-even for a professional. Price doesn’t always reflect quality; especially with the lifetime warranties now-a-days and similar manufacturing locations of these tool companies. Heck, the Daytona LRLP Jack is awesome.

[@amoni1959]

I been waiting for this video for a long time. U made the right choice. Good idea to keep the snap on ratchets. It’s all about comfort in the end but Milwaukee is making a long neck version so maybe try that out later. Great vid. 👍🏾

[@BDauto86]

I completely agree. I switched to Milwaukee about 2yrs ago, there impacts and battery life is great. I have the 1/4, 3/8, 3/8long, and new 3/8 brushless snap on ratchets and love them.

[@ericgunter45]

A plus with Milwaukee is a 5 year warranty on the tool, had an issue with my 3/8 M12 Impact, sent it in expecting they would repair it and clean it up, they didnt they sent me a brand new impact. Plus 2 year warranty on the batteries.

[@spenserwrzosek198]

Did you need a receipt

[@jonathanhill7295]

Spenser Wrzosek no to warranty there’s a number on the tool you give them and that will determine how much Longer the warranty has

[@pointedspider]

3 year on batteries

[@chadvardeman8610]

Was just looking at the new heavy duty Snap-On 1/2 electric impact on the truck yesterday. They wanted just shy of $1k. I'm definitely going to be going with the Milwaukee 1/2 for half the price! Thanks for the video!

I spent 249 with a 5.0 battery for the high torque at home depot. I think they still have the same special

[@everettclunie3525]

The biggest snap on fanboy in my shop goes with Milwaukee. He eats and breathes snap on hand tools, but even he recognizes the power tools don’t cut it, especially for the price. I like some of the 14.4 stuff, especially the 3/8 impact and the long neck cordless ratchet, but with the 18v I’ve been disappointed. I personally go with dewalt for my impacts and drivers, but nothing wrong with Milwaukee. Both are great imo

[@gerardohernandez7401]

I did the same. Never looked back now I have several Milwaukee tools love them

[@jackzhu2563]

Is that you, G?

[@guyconnell2250]

Milwaukee cordless tools rock. Very hard to beat for sure. The batteries are spendy though. I do like their constant innovation. Most recently I picked up the 2553 1/4" impact driver. For working on motorcycles and a lot of other stuff it is almost perfect.

[@maxpayne98383]

Hit the nail on the head my friend, I feel the exact same way about snap on and Milwaukee cordless tools. I have a few of Milwaukee's stuff including the 1/2 impact and I won't buy snap on again, however I have the same ratchet combo as you and they are still miles ahead of the Milwaukee ratchets

[@sorryimajerk735]

I love snap on. It makes me feel good every time I grab one out of my box. But I’m with ya on the Milwaukee power tools. There just better, and even with my extreme tool snobishness, I proudly use them everyday

[@bpeterfeso]

I have the Milwaukee 3/4 inch one key high torque impact gun. It is an utter monster. 1500 breakaway torque and 1200 tightening torque. It looks like the half inch just with a 3/4 inch head but the instant you first use your first reaction is this thing is a whole different meaning to the word monster

[@christopherelrod8788]

The new midtorque is almost as small as that stubby! I love it

[@kartboarder22g17]

I just got the 3/8" wrench M12 and love it. When my Pneumatic impact gun or air compressor bites the dust I'm getting the M18 Milwaukee and that will be my first M18 tool probably. May be many years may sooner may be never. Nothing last forever of course.

[@BDauto86]

Just get the M18 you will love it and barely use air anymore.

[@gamesofcontent]

When I was first moved out and was having to buy all my own tools since I didn't have my dads garage anymore I always looked at Snap On with envy, but as I got older and used it more I could never justify its cost. Now I tend to look at people who have tens of thousand of dollars in Snap On tools as fools. One exception is a mechanic I know who has 50+ that work for him. He makes well over a million a year and has snap on tools in his home shop for his personal cars. He doesn't work on customer cars anymore. For him it is pennies. They don't stop him from buying anything else, so why not. But he heavily discourages it. He even tells all his employees to avoid them. He said if he could go back he never would have bought them. That he could have done so much more when he was younger ( he is like 50 now) if he didn't spend so much on tools.

[@RecklessEnterainment]

I love Milwaukee’s cordless tools especially the 1/2” high torque, and the m12 stubby. But I totally agree on the ratchets. I’ve always been on the fence with mine. It’s torquey, but it’s big heavy and awkward, and I hate the paddle switch.

[@amilmitt]

if you need a smaller head the non-fuel Milwaukee ratchets have smaller heads, they went bigger on the fuels as the small ones are prone to breaking if your hard on them.

[@lancelaprarie6128]

Should go with the Milwaukee heat gun. Great tool for quick jobs like wiring. Don't have to unwind and plug in your heat gun and wait for it to cool off before you put it away. Great tool and uses same batteries and it's under $100 for just the took. I just got my die grinder today. Super slick and going to break it in this weekend. Thanks buddy!

[@davewhite6032]

Heavy equipment mechanic, made the switch from snap on to Milwaukee in 2012 i think. Never looked back. Although I wish Milwaukee had a better mechanism to hold the batt on, have a couple tools that have loose batteries to the extent the tool doesn't work. Cheap plastic.

[@AaBB-ks6oc]

the plastic isn't "cheap" it's a lack of vibration dampening which leads to vibration damage between the tool and the battery. A lot of Dewalt's reciprocating saws also have similar problems due to a lack of it. In my experience Makita does a much better job of this across the board. Pick up an XWT08, XWT07 or even the ancient XWT04 and you'll notice it immediately. They put a huge rubber ring in between the battery housing and the handle. On those 3 and most other tools they also put rubber nobs on the front and back of the battery rail housing on the very bottom of the tool too.

[@JoseMartinez-nm7ht]

Excellent and convincing review, although I did not need to be convinced... I like you, was convinced by trying Milwaukee

[@JWimpy]

You're sure right. The Milwaukee M18 impact wrench is awesome. The first time I used mine on a tractor I threw my pneumatic SnapOff in the dumpster. Last week I got the new Milwaukee angle die grinder. Also threw away my old pneumatic model.

[@MrSubaru1387]

I sold it. The throwing it in the trash was for dramatic effect.

[@itluis2009]

MrSubaru1387 In top of that hilti is also super expensive

[@F1NATIK]

The 6.0ah and 8.0ah batteries are the same size an weight, so might as well go for the 8.0ah

[@brentoberholzer4718]

The 1/2 Milwaukee impact will do everything a 3/4 air impact will do. One reason Milwaukee is made in China is the electronics if it was made in the USA it would cost 3x as much

[@thegoodearth7]

Good video! I am sure Snap-On loves this vid. Subscribed. I am still all air tools (except a cordless 3/8" HF ratchet). Really looking forward to migrating over to Milwaukee--particularly their 1/2" impact. It should take the place of my Aircat (which is pretty darn robust).

[@jacobsmith9041]

I was already running Milwaukee tools so I already had battery's and a charger. That being said I bought a high tourque half inch impact on eBay brand new for 130$. That being said I've used it as a automotive tech for the past 7 months without fail it's been great and very seldomly do I need to get a breaker bar out

[@semkim9209]

I had the older Milwaukee M18 1/2 inch cordless impact. Both the batteries separated. I also left the tool sitting for a while without using it. Eventually the batteries lost their charge, and the tool couldn’t even take off a lugnut anymore. Sold it. I have the snap-on 14.4 volt 3/8 impacts. Switched died within a year and had it fixed under warranty. But for 1/2 inch stuff, I go to my Ingersoll Rand 7152.

[@danielmaehren882]

Agreed. The Snap-On 3/8" ratchet is better than Milwaukee's ratchet. I love mine. I chose Snap-On because of the head size and the trigger mechanism. Other that the ratchet Milwaukee has everything else over Snap-On.

[@shanequick3948]

That’s opinion, really. Milwaukee’s 3/8” 90 tooth ratchet is tougher than the Snap-On.

[@beilno2890]

I have used both the M12 stuff and the 14.4. Power always felt the same and the feel/balance is much better on the Snap-on along with the rocker switch for direction is much nicer to use on a daily basis. I am also partial to being able have a color other then red so in a shop full of the same tools you can tell whose are whose if they get borrowed etc.This was worth the extra money to me but the M12 line is still a good buy. The cordless soldering iron is something I miss though. On the 18V line yea snap-on is way late to the party and maybe has some better durability for about the same power at twice the price. Take care of your tools and milwaukee is a no brainer

[@midwestapprentice1904]

color seems like a dumb point but if im gonna use a tool everyday I want to look cool lol!

[@351cleavland]

I like using the the m18-1/4" stubby so I can get my 8MM bolts torqued down to 250 foot pounds. Just in case they are tempted to loosen and roll away.

You'll notice they get really tight and then all of the sudden spin freely. Just ignore that, they're still tightening.

[@Mopars_41]

I switched from Milwaukee M18 to Snap-on 18v, already had snap on 14.4v as i've never been a fan of the M12 line. I have the new Snap-on Ct9075 1/2" brushless, and Ct9010 3/8" brushless impacts I love them both, I got the 1/2" full kit for 1/2 off on the truck brand new. When I originally started I was going to use Milwaukee M18, and Snap-on 14.4v, but after using the new Snap-on 18 volt stuff, and having used my dad's for however long the 18v have been a thing, I decided to go with Snap-ons 18 volt. In my opinion, I find them to be better built and sturdy over Milwaukee, especially when it comes to the batteries. I will say that the snap-on 18v tools are stupid expensive, but I love them enough to justify the price of buying the, just waiting for them all to go brushless before i go buying the drill, and other stuff. I do know after using both that I like the snap-on grease gun over the Milwaukee, as the Snap-on is slimmer, and when you work on Semi trucks, or Coaches, you need about as small as possible these days. I was also disappointed in my M18 3/8 impact as my Ni-Cad Snap-on 3/8 blew it out of the water somehow, but those are my opinions on the Snap-on vs Milwaukee debate. I also never even heard of milwaukee tools until my freshman year of high school in 2015, that's what my shop teacher had.

I am just glad we have the choice to go cordless in the old days battery life sucked and no where near the power. Thanks for sharing

[@masong468]

Ive had my 14 volt snap on stuff going on 5 years. I beat the piss out of it and i almost bought milwuakee stuff to replace it. It cost me $230 for snap on to rebuild my 3/8 with everything new as well as my cordless ratchet. I could only buy the milwuakee ratchet with that money. Milwuakee stuff is mediocre quality wise.

[@johngibson3594]

Mason G I think you will find many that will disagree with you on Milwaukee quality and cost. I purchased the high and mid torque impact wrenches both for under 200 bare tool already had batteries. I also got both first gen ratchets free with other kits I purchased for under 200 bucks all 5 yr warranty and 3 years on batteries. I did use Milwaukee warranty I got a free 5ah battery and a replacement sent to me. The unit worked but one key didn’t. They told me it was a pinched wire during assembly.. all within 2 weeks at no cost to me. Snap-on makes good stuff but the cost is not worth paying . Snap-on warranty is longer now because of the competition. Also Milwaukee tools are brushless and one key is great with software free to track your tools. Hey I say if you want Snap-on that’s your choice and you may like paying your tool truck guy every week and that’s ok to is a choice and this is why America is good we get to choose our own destiny.

I wish thier batteries were better. They're not very impact resistant. Try not to drop them. The standard chargers in their kits should be the rapid chargers instead of making us pay extra for them. The Makita line is bomb proof and come with a better faster charger off the bat. I wish they innovated more. The air impacts are still faster than the battery option if you're in a shop setting. The M12 line are quality of life luxuries which I can appreciate. I like the brand. I've invested heavily into their products but I feel they can do better.

Why don't you try the 1st Gen Milwaukee 3/8th ratchet, It has a smaller head. Obviously it doesn't have the fuels tq rating but that's why it's a ratchet and use your hand to brake but loose or a regular ratchet and then spin out the nut. Main reason I didn't get the fuel was because of its big head and it can't fit in many places.

[@MrSubaru1387]

Because I'm not a fan of the paddle and I'd rather have the long neck.

I have milwaukee everything but I dont like the new fuel ratchets. The 3/8 head is way too big.

Milwaukee likely had too many warranty claims on the heads busting on their Gen 1, 3/8" ratchet that they made the new head too beefy on their brushless Fuel ratchets to reduce warranty claims.

[@felixmartinez9514]

Agree on all points. Milwaukee are well design and superior to vs most snap on electric except the snap on ratchet. It feel better in the hand and just plain faster. The Milwaukee is strong ratchet but its really not need because it's not a impact. Snap on ratchet from the brake,speed,feel, and just enough power not to bust bolts off. The really the only negative is the it's not brushless. Not going to lie but that fuel Milwaukee ratchet feel like a brick. I still like the snap on ct761 3/8 impact. I just wish it was stronger. It feel great in the hand also my favorite thing about it is the trigger. They need to improve power not design. Snap on 18 volt below average at best.

[@pdaddy879]

I love that fuel ratchet, it's a little slower and has a bigger head but most bolts you dont have to break first just squeeze the trigger. Where the bigger head comes into play is when you have to manually break a bolt...175 ft lb on that

Personally I hate the Milwaukee M12 tools, i like the Milwaukee M18 tools, but I also like the Snap-on 18v and especially 14.4v stuff. I even really like the old Ni-Cad tools which i grew up with and can still get them rebuilt. I'll definitely end up getting the Snap on 18v tools, and still get Milwaukee 18v tools.

[@pointedspider]

I'm a Milwaukaholic. I have 13 different m12, m18 tools. But I only have 2 of the same tools u have there!

[@jasonbabila6006]

Wait till you try out the M18 1” impact, that thing is a beast.

[@pointedspider]

Milwaukee has a M18 7/16in impact quik-lock for utility poles. Friggin awesome!

[@AlexMacho765]

Man I just had my snap on guy try to sell me their new brushless 3/8 with a whopping 325 foot lbs of break away torque. In 2020? I didn’t know whether to be shocked or offended. I just looked at my Milwaukee midtorque and said naw man I’m good. The kit was 799 too with only a 2 year warranty 🤦

[@MrSubaru1387]

Snappy off their rocker when I comes to power tools. And about a decade behind in battery and motor technology.

[@timenavigator9643]

I wish my cousin would listen to you...

[@drummerstar1190]

I’m pretty sure the 3” cut off tool is more designed for construction and tile work

[@Kaabosurron]

I wouldn't buy from Amazon because there not an authorized dealer so no warrante but homedpot has then high torque a 5 amp charger and case for 270 right now

[@Zee20Ate]

Andy Lopez if you buy from amazon you still get the warranty but the warranty starts by manufacture date according to the serial code rather than purchase date.

[@MrTmenzo]

Milwaukee seems to dominate the 1/2 impact cordless wrench with mechanics. Would be intetesting to compare them to the Xr 1/2 dewalt and the 1/2 Makita since they're all around the $400 range.

[@nrvsauto8990]

Honestly they are all pretty similar but I find Milwaukee has a lot more items on the 18v line up. Plus more automotive based tools. So it really depends on what battery platform you are already using

[@AaBB-ks6oc]

Makita is a close 2nd and Dewalt is maybe ~10% worse overall compared to the Gen 2 Milwaukee. But neither Makita nor Dewalt have a "Gen 2" like Milwaukee does. So it's not like they can't make a better wrench, they just don't feel the need to update their stuff as frequently as Milwaukee does. But the best overall 1/2" cordless (out of all brands) is the Ingersoll Rand W7152. That thing is a Cadillac.

[@tooltime6108]

Would like to see a Milwaukee vs snap-on wrenches comparison .

[@Eremon1]

Have you tried hand tools by Gray? They are better in every way except perhaps reputation. Snap-On has more money to put into marketing. That is the only thing they excel at.

[@tooltime6108]

Hey Doug I should have mentioned I am not a pro machanic . I can not justify buying snap on nor can I afford them I seen good reviews on the Milwaukee wanted to see a comparison. I will check out the gray thanks for the info

[@tooltime6108]

Sorry Doug I thought you where giving info on the gray

[@ikariku]

I've been following your channel for about two or three years now, and I thought you were a kind of Snap-on ambassador. When I saw that you started using Milwaukee I almost went back...The thing is, if you already have made a important invest in Snap-on products, is worth to invest for a all new Milwaukee equipment?

[@MrSubaru1387]

Yes. The Milwaukee power tools are miles ahead of the Snap-on power tools. I still love Snap-on ratchets, sockets, screwdrivers, wrenches, etc. They're the best hand tools out there. Their power tools just aren't that great though.

[@wim0104]

wow! why can't snap-on buy itself into better DC brushless motors & lithium tech? did Milwaukee really get lucky with their Dewalt talent headhunt, and chinese resources? so how does dewalt cordless compare with milwaukee? has the US fallen behind china for cordless powertools?

[@MrSubaru1387]

@@wim0104 Dewalt/MAC power tools are better than Snappy, but not Milwaukee level.

#1 thing that keeps me away from the snap-on truck... the 2x higher price tag for their tools... its outrageous when compared to Milwaukee tools and thats because i think Milwaukee is on the high side of cost .

yes snap-on around $1,000. i when for Milwaukee high torque and mid torque 2854-20, got then on a kit for under $700 with more warranty and more power.

What Milwaukee impact do you recommend for pulling Subaru axle nuts?

[@MrSubaru1387]

The Mid-Torque can knock them off. Or the High-Torque.

[@LuisPerez-gz5ci]

All my snap on cordless impacts have literally burned up from use they are junk…. I work on construction/heavy equipment and the snap on impacts never last more than 6 months! Not to mention they want to charge me 200 to replace each time

after roughly 25k In milwaukee I can safely say it has a lot of good quality specialized tools for plumbers.

Both

[@trexthepony8614]

[@rupunzel6299]

Only a matter of time before Milwaukee introduces a FAR better ratchet than Snap-On.

[@harryazzole7814]

@@rupunzel6299 they still haven't. In the 3/8 range, Snap On still dominates Milwaukee in a real world 9 hour work day environmental. The electric ratchets and 3/8 impacts from Snap On blow Milwaukee out of the water in ergonomics, weight, and fatigue. The batteries also fully charge in an hour and they last all day.

[@MrSubaru1387]

I'll agree with you on the ratchet, but no, the M12 stubby 3/8 and M18 mid torque 3/8 blow the Snappy out of the water.

[@harryazzole7814]

@@MrSubaru1387 I hated my stubby 3/8 M12. They're heavy and they feel like a "machete" instead of a "scalpel". My wrists were always sore at the end of the day after using it. The bulky head also restricts a lot of angles compared to the 3/8 SnapOn. The dual action trigger is also one of the best damn inventions of mankind.

I work in aviation, we have snap-on tools. The powertools of snap-on are overpayed trash... Never been a fan of snap-on, way to big wrenches for aviation. But the idiots that order our tools, keep ordering the wrong shit. Like fucking hexagonal socket sets... While mainly everything is triple square...

[@davidhouk7454]

You have the wrong "ratchet". You need the m12 ratchet, not the m18. That looks like a right angle 3/8 impact.

Today you just have to remember it's all disposable and snap on is overpriced for what it is Milwaukee for torque reliability price is #1

Let me guess because they are twice as good at 1/3rd the price? Dont need to watch the video.

But the brushless came snappy just came out? Honestly Milwaukee is super popular , but that is like saying Snappy is super popular. It is a different venue over at HD than that of the tool truck. I only now got some Snappy corless because they did not offer brushless like milwaukee, but I never liked milwaukee more of Makita guy.
