[Noreaster]

I want to see what you guys have for recommendations/ preferences


Post# 666 for me:lildevil:

Snap On makes a pretty nice cordless impact. It's spendy but runs really good & its a little more compact than others.

the v28 blows snap-on away

[Josh2002cc]

What is a v28?

I have a snap on 3/8 drive it works well for what I do with it however I only use mine a few times a month. I don't like to get it dirty because it is so pretty :D

I bought a 24v gun made by Goodyear from Pepboys a while back, only like $75. It's only 200ftlb, so it probably wont take the lug nuts off out trucks. It has worked great swapping from dirt to paddle tires on the desert toys and changing flats on the trailer and other cars.

I've been using the V28 Milwaulkee? for about 3 years now IIRC, and it's had a hard life, but both batteries, the charger, and the tool are still working well. It will swap all four tires on a Dmax almost twice before needing a 1 hr charge again. In other words, you arrive at the track, remove all four street tires, put on the race tires, remove the race tires after the race, then put three street tires back on, then the battery gets weak. But it's a three year old battery. With both batteries charged, it will easily do three trucks. One battery will do several passenger cars before recharging.

I have the snap on 1/2 and it is great. 550 ftlbs and last quite awhile. I will be soon getting the new matco 1/2 that is coming out because it is litium ion and said to be 720 ft lbs

And if you feel bad while using it you can make sound effects.:D

Kat loves the V28, and Pat is a great supervisor :D

I got a snap-on 18v, about 5yrs old. and it works good as new.

Just before it hits 140 ft lbs, i make a really loud blow off valve sound. :D

18volt 1/2" drive Dewalt. It does what I need it to do when I dont have the air compressor around...

I will attest that Pat is a great supervisor. He did a wonderfull job of it when Jason and I switched Casper's tires at Famoso. :toetap::toetap::p:D

I thought there were no pictures of Kat allowed?

[McRat]

:rofl:

Aholes! I've changed tires so many times on that truck that the lugs are getting worn out, but anytime someone else does it, it's all over the interwebbythingy. :mad:

Seriously, thanks for helping. It's good to have friends and family at the track.:hug:

I'm only letting this one stay to give Anthony a hard time :rofl:

[03 D-max]

i have a dewalt cant remember voltage its ether 24 or 32 or 36 not sure but it has great power and battery life it will break or chopper knifes loose and the millwalkie(cant remember how to spell) wont and our dewalt is balanced alot better than our mill how ever you spell it

[racinmike77]

for the racecar we run all dewalt. Two drills, a 1/2 impact, a 3/8 impact and a ton of batteries gets it done.

[Turbo Buick 6]

I like the snap on, everything else I have seen is too bulky for my liking.....I'm just a little guy:rofl:

[kjp800]

Snap-on...had 18v for almost 5 years and still works like the day I bought it. I've used the Dewalt and a Craftsman and its a night and day differance between them

[Vrabel]

Same goes for thier drills, I'll take my snap-on over an xrp anyday

You know I was just kidding.:hug::D

Most people don't know that a couple of years ago Pat changed Steve Coles tires at the track with a little help from me and he put them back on after steve raced. Steve never even thanked him. :rolleyes: Go figure.

I hope the truck was on a lift so Pat didn't have to bend over and expose........nevermind:joker:

[NJ_LLY]

The dewalt gets my vote

[Noreaster]

thanks for the replies, just seeing what would get the job done swapping tire sets & bolting on spring clamps

Just wanted to give feed back on the new matco 1/2 inch litium ion, I got one to demo today and put it to the test right away with the snap on side by side. The Matco is made my IR and I have found that the Snap on CT4850HO Out performs the matco. I used them Both side by side installing hydraulic row cleaners on a 24 row planter and the snap on had more guts and was balance better. The matco is about a pound lighter but with a heavy nose it seemed heavier. The nuts being tightened were 1 1/8 and torqued to 265 ft lbs and with a total of 48 and both guns doing one half of them neither ran low on battery.

[elhuntr06]

Go with the snap-on I have the 18 volt 1/2 and just bought the 3/8 Can't beat them

[MAXLLY]

I've have a few.

I have an 18 volt milwaukee, Makita, some crappy orange one and a snap on.

If you wanna tighten it and walk away, bang for the buck? Mule-waukee hands down. So god da*mn inefficient and heavy.

Wannna fly them on check 'em with a breaker and look flashy doing it twice as fast? Makita with an 18 volt lithium battery, less than half the size, less than half the weight, battery blows the mule-waukee away. BUT you have the check it with a breaker.

Oh, the good mule is $350 + and the Makita is $219. :D

[Otts]

I have the Milwaukee 28V. Very nice tool to have at the track. You can't beat the power.

[05smoker]

I just got a Makita LXT 18 volt lithium. Don't know how I ever worked on a truck without one before. :D

[Utahski]

The SnapOn is nice but expensive. The 28V Milwaukee is a huge heavy thing. I bought the new 18V Milwaukee #2662....higher tq rating than the 28V at 450lb/ft and less bulky. Should work just fine.

[JoshH]

I just picked up a Snap-on 1/2" 18v yesterday. I didn't think it was too bad of a price at $450 out the door. I haven't had a chance to use it yet, but with all the positive feedback I've read about it, I don't think I'll be disappointed.

[gmduramax]

Kat, pay no respect to this kid... soon he is going to not own a Duramax, cause he wants to race AutoX... gay

You dont even have a duramax worth taking to the track

[Mike L.]

You dont even have a duramax worth taking to the track

You selling your truck?

[gmduramax]

You selling your truck?

yea

[JakeGMCHD]

Milwaukee M18 P/N 2662-20 works great.
Has the weight and size of the 14.4V tool but the power of the 18V.
The M18 batteries sure last between charges too.

[malibu795]

18volt 1/2" drive Dewalt. It does what I need it to do when I dont have the air compressor around...

http://www.dewalt.com//ProductImages/PC_Graphics/PHOTOS/DEWALT/TOOLS/LARGE/0/DW059K-2_1.jpg

been think about spending 300 bone for one... thier littel 3/8 impact look pretty nice as well...

would be nice when i cant use my air compressor.

[05smoker]

Dewalt is too far behind in the battery dept. They don't compare to the lithium ion batteries.
