I will agree that for some, Snap On is the only tool they will own. When I worked at dealerships and repair shops I normally kept a open account on the truck. Even some Mac and Matco at times. This is why Snap on and other tool trucks have them, credit. If I needed something and did not have the funds to just purchase outright, " just put this on my account " I do understand that times have changed but having that truck come to you every week and seeing all those new shiny tools, sometimes it is more than a man can resist. But as much as I am a fan of their hand tools, I would personally never buy this impact. As far as "fanboys" sure, everyone is a fan of something. Brand of truck, car, motorcycle, golf clubs, lawn mower, shoes, watches, battery powered tools, etc...... That and when I was in the business you really did not have a choice. Truck tools or Craftsman, anything else was Chinese crap. Yeah I know there were a couple other brands but you get my point. Now days I buy Tekton for the most part, mostly American made, best on line warranty I have found, fantastic quality and really good price for American made tools. Last point, PRIDE, for some of us, that tool box full of quality American made tools is as important as the truck we drive, the Hotrod we built or the guns in our safe.

The Snap-On looks like a brushed-drive tool Milwaukee would have made like 8+ years ago. Just way way behind. The insulting part is the price, but that's how Snap-On stays in business--by selling a tool that costs $29, for $365. There has to be a way to pay all the dealers ("tool truck guys") and middle men in between I guess. Terrible business model that worked up until like 10 years ago maybe, but not anymore, esp. when you can see differences like this in performance, price, and quality. It's crazy to think that Milwaukee tools themselves are arguably overpriced (though deals and sales can make them much better), but then the Snap-On racket is a whole other level of overpricing.

If you decide to go with a ratchet go with the Milwaukee high speed if you are going to be doing a lot of higher torqued bolts/nuts (and need speed in removal). The old large head fuel is junk in my opinion and the 3/8 brushed ratchet is awesome for things like 10mm & 12mm fasteners. It is the lightest of the bunch and preferred if not doing under-vehicle work. I run all of them on 2 amp hr batteries (auto wrecking work) and have been very pleased. I had broke a few of the non-fuel brushed 3/8s prior to buying the high speed ratchet. Milwaukee has a very good warranty and exchange policy. BTW I have Snap On ratchets as well. I really like their 1/4” but batteries, chargers, and misc things like covers and what not are way way overpriced.

Just bought my m12 stubby in a 3/8 with a 2ah and a 4ah battery with charger and carry case for $230 off of Amazon! Best impact I’ve ever bought!

I really enjoy my Milwaukee M12 3/8” drive. It does most everything I ask of it.

Awesome review I picked up the 3/8 stubby over the newer 18v compact and it's my go to workhorse, but I keep my Gen 2 1/2 midtorque as a backup when I come across fasteners it can't rip off. BTW Really surprised how small the Gen 2 midtorque was when I finally got it in my hands just a tad bigger than the stubby. Anyhow great test although it would have been funny if you still had the 3/8 stubby beat them all like it did when you battled the 1/2 and 3/8 stubby's not too long ago lol. Great video as usual 👍

@johnny4713 This is my question: if the mid torque is that much more powerful and barely larger, what's the advantage of the Stubby? And I'm glad you reiterated the point that the 3/8 is as powerful as the 1/2! Maybe someone needs to affix the Bosch Freak anvil to the M12 Stubby...

@@zorbaseatery4745 I wanted an impact wrench that I could get into tighter spaces than my older original M18 platform Gen 1 midtorque. The stubby fit the bill since I can use the torpedo style 2.0 battery instead of the 6.0 boot style battery and maneuver it in some pretty crazy positions. The first day I got the stubby I ran into that scenario while working on a Honda. I normally run it with the 6.0 boot style battery, but slapped in the 2.0 instead which gave me the extra clearance I needed. Being able to make the stubby footprint even smaller by switching batteries is the main advantage over any 12v or 18v platform even the new Matco 16V stubby that has a similar boot style battery, but not a torpedo style like the M12. Like others have said in his stubby battle video I do believe the 1/2 stubby may hit a bit harder than the 3/8 with the bigger anvil and using normal sockets on regular fasteners. The 3/8 socket he fabricated for testing in this vid and other videos has a bit more mass added so inturn creates more force kicking the 1/2 stubby's ass lol. I just got the 3/8 since I already had a 1/2 impact. I have no regrets the 3/8 is pretty strong and gets off the majority of car and truck fasteners the key is using it with a 4.0 or 6.0 battery's and deep impact sockets for that extra mass to get the most out of it. I also purchased the newer Gen 2 midtorque not too long ago, because again I wanted something smaller than my Gen 1 midtorque and boy I'm sure happy I did. Believe it or not you appreciate the weight and size when your wrenching underneath vehicles. I use the compact HO 3.0 battery with it when needed other than that the stubby is my go too. The Bosch Anvil would be pretty cool on a stubby👍. If I was to choose a first weekend warrior impact tool I'd get the new Gen 2 midtorque it's an all around great compact impact and has enough power to get most jobs done.

@@Shoptoolreviews Agreed that is why the stubby is still my go too for sure. BTW will you be doing a review on the new Matco 16V stubby in the future that be cool. They claim 300 breakaway, but I still think the stubby has it beat when it comes to price and size being able to switch from the 4.0 and 6.0 boot looking batteries to the torpedo 3.0 for getting into super tight spaces👍

Just as an outside observer who enjoys your videos… does not care one way or another. if the rule of thumb is you give it the go if it starts moving w/in 10seconds, the dewalt had that 450 IMO. As a side note I do have Metabo gmbh ssd 400bl and think you and anyone who looked into it would find it a very interesting between the tool and how it has been repackaged by other top shelf brands. It’s a mid torque 400nm* which is under spec IMO. Just a gorgeous lil smacker in every way. Thanks for the videos!

Ive had my m12 3/8 for about 2 years i had the motor lock up about 2 months after u bought it. They fixed it and i got the same one back in perfect working order and not a single issue since. My snapon (brushed as the brushless wasnt out yet) would blow about 180 degree air on my hand making it very uncomfortable to use and wouldnt do a lot of stuff

450ft/lbs for a 3/8 is damn impressive regardless. Anything over is definitely mid torque territory. I may be pulling the trigger on some more M12 stuff after this lol

I have a Snap-on 1/2" 18v lithium brushed gun, it's been a good tool and I'm happy with it. But I bought a M12 Milwaukee impact driver and drill because Snap-on asks too much for the same thing. So Snap-on bought this tool out recently so I asked for a demo. I walked up to a car in the workshop just a random one and tried to pull the wheel nuts and it failed. I said if it can't do that it's useless to me the Snap-on guy took his gun and walked out. It is a good idea because I already have their 18v batteries but if it can't pull wheel nuts off what good is it?

Another being the key word.

I have the DeWalt and I’m really happy with it. I really like it’s power, it’s compact size and it’s very lightweight, especially compared to my high torque. I really like the oil resistant batteries it came kitted with. I might have to get a couple of 20v oil resistant batteries for my high torque and other 20v tools I acquire in the future.

I've used all 3 of these guns, and the all work well, my snapon it the order generation 18 volt it isn't a power house compared to the milwaukee or Dewalt. But it's been running for 8 years now no problems, has a hard life in the heavy diesel world. And I like how it feels in the hand compared to the others. And thats what it really comes down to for me.
