Cordless/battery imapct guns

[John]

I'm after one of these as they're quite handy. Anyone got one that's not snap on? I would love a s-o one but just dont have the funds atm. Needs to be 1/2"
Something like this?

Any other suggestions?
:)

I have a hitatchi one.

Not amazing, but I'm used to 1" drive 150psi ones in work.

Not worth the money IMO, decent set of sockets and ratchet spanners are better.

Don't get me wrong, it's good, but doesn't do up tight, or undo anything mega tight.

[John]

Matt i have plenty of decent ratchets and spanners and a good 1/2" air gun at work, but these are mega handy though for undertrays etc though. I have a good torque wrench for checking things are tight lol

I agree totally, if you can't afford it now, wait until you can, as you will just regret buying anything else. I've used various cheaper ones and they are just not in the same league as 18v Snap On.

i have a snap on gun for work, really handy for taking away with to. i would'nt reconmend anything else mate.

I've used a sealey one http://www.google.co.uk/products/catalog?hl=en&q=cp2400&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=12814135343071701660&ei=eN1gTYP0I4qV8QPjy4Fa&sa=X&oi=product_catalog_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CDkQ8wIwAg#

works pretty well, does everything u need to do on a nova, maybe not up to the snap on one but nearly 3rd the price.

[floydy13]

i was just thinking mate, if you cant afford one in one go, if you set up a account with snap-on you could pay weekly, thats how i got mine. i had to pay a minimum of £15 a week but i payed of more than that each week. if that works out easier for you?

[Rich]

sure john knows about paying weekly, its still 400+ lol

I have a mac tools one, and tbh i have regretted buying it since! its just got nothing on the snap-on one, snap-on is better than my airgun at work when at full charge!

Speak to your snap-on guy, they will do them much cheaper when the cash is going in there back pocket before the tax man sees it!

[mowgli]

makita li-ion 18v stuff is very well made & has some good battery power too

[Saloony]

John get it on the never-never mate. I have 2 at work. My compressor is hardly used now because of them.

[blue_peg_16v]

with the amount phil has bought of you john go treat ya sen to a snap on lol

[Nobby]

yeah John i have the snap on one i payed nearly £500 for it and its earnt every penny nothing even comes close.

[MK1_beastie]

i have a 18v de-walt gun. only bought it for doing jobs at home, easily the best buy i've made in a long time

[John]

ok ok! I will bug snap-on this week for a price. What's the model number chaps? With age i find that buying stuff on r/a or finance with snap-on is a pita. Will wave some readies at him, see what happens lol

[Edd]

APR from a Snap-On dealer is about 2000% iirc lol

[John]

i found that out when i was an apprentice, never made the same mistake again lol

[Novasport]

Find out who makes them for Snap-On, they won't make stuff like this themselves.

[kevster]

john i have one sat here 18v 1/2 , if you want it pm me with a price that you have in mind

thanks kev

its been used two or three times also has the rubber gun cover to:)

[John]

Knowing snap-on they'll be built under license. lol

[deanwilko]

i have a ingersoll rand much better then snap on in everyway as i have had both, lighter more powerful and much better build quality then snap on.

[Nobby]

APR from a Snap-On dealer is about 2000% iirc lol

hence the reason om payin nearly £500

same one we have i think...i steal it all the time to use on the car...cant fault it. it does the job

[hendrix]

we have a really good one at work it managed to bend some 10mm thick steel bar over some washers 25mm high by screwing it to another piece with the washers in the middle. Hard to explain but its crazy power out a battery impact gun.

[Novasport]

Ingersoll Rand make a nice looking piece of kit...

Milwaukee stuff gets a good write up...

[Andy]

Milwaukee is very good stuff but very very expensive also.
It is nice though,that does have to be said.
That bottom thing looks dangerous lol

As per first post, can't afford the £400+

borrowed the one above off a mate at the weekend. wasnt fully charged as he'd been using it at work all day but it was certainly powerful.
cant compare it to anything else though as i'd never used an impact gun before, cordless or air.

[stuartp]

just a quick input, aint read all the comments but in my humble oppinion save up for the snap on one. i use mine once a week some time not even for a few weeks buts its worth every pennie IMO. and the 3/8" 14.4v one is brill to

[Sturge]

^ says it all imo

I've got the older Snap On one, the 480 iirc, and it's one of the best things I've ever bought tool wise! I paid just over 200 for mine when it was on offer (and if you're friendly with the SO man he'll let you pay it on an RA account interest free)

The new ones are half the torque again and use lithium batteries which have no power drop off as they run down so it has full power right up til it's dead. Not sure on the price though! (if you've got an old air gun they might do a good trade in)
