Who makes the best cordless impact?
 
I've seen the Igresal Rand with 360 ft# torque for around $34o.
Who else makes a good one and how much are they.

It looks like the tool section is gone so I posted this here.

By far Snap-On the new one out is the CT4850HO 1/2 drive 550 ft in rev and 350 ft in forward you will pay alittle more but it is the best

I have the Matco 3/8. I use it when changing tires, but it does not have enough torque to break lug nuts loose, nor tighten them to my standards.

I buy a lot of cordless tools for my company, and as far as cordless impacts go, I like the Dewalt 1/2 inch 18 volt. I have used one to remove the lug nuts from my truck, no problem. They usually run around $300 TO $325.

My techs all use various Snap On models, they love them.

hitachi impact last forever, batteries are ok, they just came out with a new line of batteries that are suppose to be great i use the impact 365, 8-10hr a day. I drop it from heights and get it wet still no trouble.

I've got a Snap On 3/8 and the 1/2" drive, they work great. Zero issues.

A friend of mine has a half dozen Snap Ons in his shop and loves them. They're like Energizer Bunnies.
Just have extra batteries available.

Early on (middle 90's), Snap-On had some battery contact issues. All cleared up under warranty. Now, my shop (including me) has all three models that Snap-On offers. That's five mechanics using them 5-6 days a week. No issues, period. Well worth the money.

Snap On without a doubt. Very durable and will break almost anything loose. Have had guys borrow mine then go out and buy one.

Payton 10-22-2007 06:04 AM

Well I was thinking DeWalt, since all my other cordless stuff is DeWalt. But, it sure seems like Snapon has the vote.

Will DeWalts standerd charger also charge a lithium ion battery?

I've already got a bank of 3 chargers (DeWalt and 2 different cordless grease guns) I guess one more won't matter.

madprops 10-22-2007 06:35 AM

I can get you hooked up with one!! I have a realy close friend that is a snap-on on guy and he has good used ones as well as new ones..

go propless 10-22-2007 04:30 PM

Or let me Know I am A dealer and I have one of the new ones on my truck

boatfreak 10-23-2007 07:54 AM

Mark I just bought a DeWalt a few days ago to take to the field. I have been having some corn head issues and needed to speed things up. I think this thing will do all I need but I would like to see the Snapon unit.
