    Snap-on CT7850 1/2" Drive 18V Lithium Cordless Impact Wrench

    Hey anybody have one of these I think its new CT7850. I was looking at a CT6850 Ive seen it at $555.00 I believe the newer one is more . I have been thinking of an electric one to run off a generator mostly for lug nuts but then you have the leads its a pain . A lot of money but if they work real well prob worth every penny

    ive got and 18v dewalt, works pretty good most of the time depends on how hard they were tightned, ive also got a milwaukee electric and use it most of the time works really well, im sure snap on would be a great tool sounds kinda high to me though but i usually forcus on high quality used tools

    A couple guys i go to school with have 3/8 cordless impacts, and they bust lug nuts without hesitation. Work well on ball joint castle nuts too. Those run around 335 i believe, qnd have a 2 year warrenty. I have an older 12 volt 1/2 and a 3/8 cordless, but the batteries are shot and i cant afford to rebuild them, they did work well though, and i bought them used off the Snappy truck. I did drop 400 on a 1/2 in air impact tho, one. of the best investments i ever made

    Same here. My brother dropped a boatload on his snap-on 1/2" drive, and I have yet to find anything his can loosen over my Craftsman.

    I believe the snap on is probadly got a Lil better battery life but unless your using it every single day of the week the craftsmen is more than enough impact any way you look at it. Besides that I got two drills, 1/4 impact driver , circular saw, sawzall that alll use the same battery and charger already

    I am starting to think thats the best way a breaker bar with a pipe over the handle works . You cant beat air tools . I havent tried electric yet

    I just got my snap on ct7850 impact yesterday off ebay. It was used but in great shape i hadnt played with it much. But i got the impact the battery and the charger for $453 n some cents. Shipping was $40. I looked now and i wish i waited cuz i saw the impact 2 batteries and a charger for i think around $479. But like you said its alot of money. Im gonna use it more tonight hopefully. If you have any questions or maybe i can get some pics if you want to see just let me know.
