- When you pay big bucks for a Snap on cordless tool is it any better than a hardware store Milwaukee? Doesn't look like it to me. Laptop/Hardhat stickers: www.etsy.com/ca/listing/74655...

There once was a man with a tool
Who paid extra just to feel cool
But as he took it apart
He clutched at his heart
For he knew he was but a fool
Nice one there bro eh...

Can't figure out how this is obscene. Extra marks for extreme subtlety!
Your discourse on intercourse no doubt, was buried balls deep in metaphor of course.
"Parts Tray"- supervisor term for the device that ensures all fasteners end up on the floor with the same motion rather than individually.
Its so much more efficient.
I got one of those magnetic ones from Harbor Freight. I promptly discovered that most of the panels on my LeSabre are aluminum, so I'm still sticking everything in precarious positions on the car.
ROFL! It's nothing but true!
That's an industry standard 5S process. Sorting.
Parts tray? And here I thought it was a bedpan for the persnickety OCD types.
Can we get a "AvE reads best comments" video. I've seen some really good ones that I think deserve a couple seconds in the spot light.
That parts tray has "I was guest of the State" written all over it LOL
As ThisOldTony said: You shouldn't cut corners when making a chamfer.
Someone needs to come up with a complete list of AvE approved tools and tools that don't chooch! It could make for a great shop wall poster
That seems like the sort of thing I could be convinced to start choochin' on. I watch and re-watch enough of these things anyway. Sounds like a bit of a long list though. We may need some subcategories.

I cant think of any ave approved tool
@@deathsmileyinc well the dyson he got for his wife he also got one for the shop, so I am guess'n that's the best your gonna get.
@@deathsmileyinc the "shorty" impact from harbor freight when he compared it to the snub nosed snap-on impact. probably the only A+ for HF from him. Just a side note,IDK if it was an "approved" tool as much as, it was a great price with comparable workmanship/performance.
@AVE I have had mine for around three years. I use it almost daily and it has held up fine. I bought it because it was the only thing on the market at the time with the power and 15000rpm. Not worth the money for the home gamer fantastic for the guy who uses a die grinder daily without access to compressed air. When she finally dies I will probably replace her with the new Milwaukee.
When ever I think about Snap on tools, I'm reminded about whos paying for the trucks and gas to drive those tools in circles every week.
Guilty :/
I think the old man that drove the local one finally got lost cause I ain't seen him or his tools in a while
That's me but a really have a problem with the power tool warranty vs. the price. They can do much better unless these are junk.
They cost-engineered anything which was worth having out of the product and left something which you could buy from AliExpress for $35. Yup, how to destroy a brand.
Right and Milwaukee did that for a bit. But I think they are doing a much better job now days. Maybe we just have to wait it out.
@@aerball Except Milwaukee never had the gall to charge people $300+ for absolutely garbage tools.
SnapOn has always operated in a way where they behave as if they don't have to compete with anybody else. Milwaukee has always been kept honest by Dewalt and Makita.
Typical corporates these days, take a great product, cut costs to the bone, sell the brand.
I can buy a new unbranded version every other week for a year for cheaper th a this piece of detritus.
👍👍👍
Unfortunately Strap On quit selling tools some time ago. They are just selling the name and payment plan now. Last time I was in the rape mobile, asked about a screwdriver set. Was tol “it’s $18 a week” Even a poor broke apprentice can look like he’s a pro with the big name tools

Thank me later (or not).
Thought the same thing. nice
I thought for sure he was gonna arc something with that damn thing... electroboom!
I am amazed to see the price on this thing. I have seen $10 glue guns that deserve more respect for their attempt at delivering quality.
I would love for you to take a stab at the BOM (bill of materials) for this tool (and others in fact). Reckon this is sub $25USD in parts.
On a side note AVE, I found a failure mode for the brushless drills that isn’t so much there on the brushed versions. I have the Dewilt in both Brushed and Brushless and I almost burned the thing out when drilling upwards into some steel beams at home. The steel swarf got right into the permanent magnet of the rotor and nearly wrecked it. Luckily I pulled it a-part to see and it’s still chooching now.
I gotta say ave I love the content but these days I just love listening to talk your way with words is fantastic and thanks so much for so many pointers on things your great much love wales uk 🏴
Great job!!! Love your stuff!! Keep making more please!!
The "speed holes" in the copper heatsink are part of the flattening process. Pressed up aginst pins, brings the other side to flat-as. That way you get a far better thermal joint yada yada yada
Aha, that finally explains the dimples I see in camera shutter and iris parts.
Your hands look like the homeless ghost from The Polar Express rattlin his coffee cup around
u fuckin nailed it!
Take a break, kid!
I've owned the 14.4v 3/8 inch impact for 5 years as a heavy duty diesel tech. and absolutely love it. The over mold has come apart but it keeps chooching along. I recommend it over the competition.
I've had one of these for a couple years, still works as good as it did the day it was purchased. Lately I've mainly been using it for cleaning grounds on machines. The other 14.4 tools that I purchased have since been retired /replaced by milwaukee. My microlithium 3/8 impact (was sent for repair 4 times within 2 years) Now I only use it when chasing threads. And the drill burned up after drilling only a couple holes without a rest break between them. (also replaced by a milwaukee)
$400 bucks for a 12 volt automatic sanpaper?
What a time to be alive
Lol, iffin you're in the states.. it's more like $540!!!!
I was given one as a Christmas gift. The overmoulding has already started to come off just from it being in my tool bag. 2/10, would not recommend. I've had Harbor Freight tools of better quality.
You married to Santa Claus???
Boy if I could double upvote I would. Thing looks crusty as shiz lol
Jim Davis Fapoff truck owner in the family lol.
That sucks, maybe there are some inconsistencies in the materials they use. We've had the snap on 3/8 impact for a few years in the shop I work at and the overmoulding is still perfect.
Never disappoints man! Love your videos.
Please get a new healing mat to go on the table. The camera wants to focus on the lines on your mat and that is why you always have focus issues.
Also, Great Channel! love the videos
Are you insane? "Focus you Fack" is downing a drink in the AvE drinking game. Without the camera focusing on his heat mat every time, I'd barely be drunk by the end of one of his videos!
Ave, the most interesting homeless guy on the internet.
I think donut operator might be a close contender
He just uses gloves until they are really done
Phd, and to my knowledge, he hates mentioning it. He can care less about his hobo gloves. Doesn't give a sh1t
Wow, you scrolled through comments and picked mine, from 4 years ago lol. You really should get a life bud.@@denttech2515
The biggest cost of production are the warranty claims.
When are you going to do more on the generator I'm really interested in that project
Same same, being in the busyniss
I’ve used my snap off to start some small paint correction multiple times-and then I immediately put it away.
I got the whole kit brand new with battery, charger, pads, carry bag etc for $40 at a garage sale from an ex snap off dealer. It’s an OK deal at that price point.
I always end up switching to my Meguiars DA attachment on my snap off drill. Now THAT thing is skookum for a consumer tool -nooo, not the drill, but the DA buffer. It would be neat to see a BOLTR on that. Takes the input of any drill and outputs a dual action at pretty damn high speed even with the gear reduction and it’s easy to vary speed.
The snap off drill is stupid light and small which I like. I bought it when working at a shop building race cars and fabbing sheet paneling/hanging carbon bodies etc.
However, the chuck is shit. Mainly because of the MASS of the NUT for tightening the chuck by hand. It’s metal and far too thick so when you let off the trigger quickly and it screams to a hault, the nut wants to keep going so the chuck loosens up after a few quick trigger releases.
Snap on rebuilt it after I complained about the chuck and gnarly noise at slower speeds with no load in high gear. They replaced the motor and the chuck and It still has the same problems but I learned to live with it and it still works (~6 years later now)
I can't even afford to walk inside a snap on truck.
I walked in once and I still whistle in the wind, didn't even buy anything
I just know I cant be trusted so I stay well away when that truck shows up
...and I’m too poor to have an imaginary friend.
Seems (A), like you're in good company, and (B), you're not missing much.
Thanks for taking 1 for the Team. 540 freedom bucks. That's why I'm a patreon so you can at least get some lube. Happy New Beer to the AvE's.
i had one when they came out with it a few years ago, sold all my 14.4 stuff to a kid at work. i use the m12 fuel right angle die grinder now... very happy with it
I've had great luck out of the 14.4v ratchets and impact in an automotive setting. I was considering this tool for cleaning old gaskets from mating surfaces. I'm glad this video came out before I bit the bullet on this one.
1978 or 1989? Let's get this out on to a tray, Nice!
wonder if he is drinking coffee, instant type 1?
Someone has been watching Steve 1989......... Nice!
blackscotydog hahaha I was totally thinking the same thing !!!
Hmm no hiss...
Didnt get the reference when he said it, but that's done it!
Get that snap-off out on a tray... nice!
Nice hiss!
Mmmkay!
Look at that gusset.
Do love those MRE's. In my time, we had WWII ''C'' rations.
I loved the lima beans and ham. The tinned cinnamon rolls...not so much. This was all we had to eat in those days with old rice...the Japanese didn't leave us much.
Has AvE been watching Steve1989 again?
Used one of the snapons at work for a few years. Then I got a Milwaukee at home and started bringing it into work because I liked it so much better.
Another excellent video. Can I also take a moment to thank all the brave Canadians coming to Australia to help fight our massive bush fires.
With over 20 people killed, thousands of homes lost and millions of animals dead its a brave person to fly half way around the world to help.
You soon find out who your real friends are when the shit hits the fan, they’re the ones that turn up to help you clean it up.

AVE I have to say you are the most knowledgable person on TH-cam you make learning about electronics and tools very fun and easy, happy new year and keep up the skookum work!!
austin shores he a quick shill: mentioned Dave at EEVblog he is more knowledgeable about electronics and is worth watching for that but doesn’t often do simpler electric tools and doesn’t do the same range of equipment as AVE.
I personally think AVE, EEV and Big Clive make a good team if you want to know how well something will last or how to bodge it back into some form of service there is a good chance one of them will have covered it.
If you want to see some retro stuff Franlab (Fran blanch) does a lot of stuff from the 70s and 80s (and other decades sometimes) when electronics was just starting to get complex and wasn’t mostly in a few chips.
I doubt the first part but he is the most fun to watch youtuber
Yup. Speaks fluent shop talk
You and the bearded wonder from the Isle of Man, keep saving out wallets.
I use Snap-On tools at work very often and we have one of these polishers, the over molding has definitely stood the test of time, and to my surprise has not started peeling off in the 4 years of use. we have other battery powered Snap-On tools and none of the over molding is peeling other than on the 14v 3/8" drive impact, by far the best tool in my opinion i have used by snap on. my biggest complaint with all of snap on power tools is the light is only on when the tool is engaged, so lining up a socket on a bolt under a car you can’t just hit the trigger and get a few seconds of light. it seems to me like it would be very easy to fix this and at the price of the tools i don’t understand why they don’t have a feature that many others have at half the cost
I've got one of the snap on 1/4 impact drivers, 14.4v. Used it every day for 4 years, and charge it maybe 2 times a month. Replaced the clip that holds a socket on once, the black rubber isn't peeling. (And it sees motor oil, brake fluid and coolant on the regular) Best tool I've ever bought.
charging a tool twice a month means that you don't use the tool as often as you may think and after two years it may have done a total of 20 hours work
@@samcorrone3664 Not even 20 hours, probably less than 5 hours. This guy is a complete fool, he has no idea what he's doing. This is how shit brands like snapon make their money - off of simpletons.
Picked up some of your non-compliance stickers for chirstmas- one of the best gifts of the holidays!
Cheers, thanks Joshua. I appreciate your help
Shop story: torque to 800 ftlbs or until washer crushes. Snapoff half inch cheater bar shatters. Old craftsman someone found in the back of the shop finished the job.
BlueNinja ain’t that the truth. old craftsman Torque wrench was only off by 1.5lbs when I got it checked after 20 years of use. Some my best tools.
One of the main reasons I've eliminated Snap On power tools from my field of purchasing view is partially (as noted in the video) that the batteries are always monstrously difficult to remove from the tool and charger. Upon initial exposure to this, i attributed it to the tool being of tight fitment and being not broken in yet, but here I am 4 years later still cursing the indicator light when I have to swap batteries with colorful language being liberally applied as I incur another repetitive stress injury while trying to tear the battery free from the tool.
I have the 1/4 impact which is very similar and I've used it as a diesel mechanic specialized in engines for years. Brake Kleen, contact cleaner, oil, coolant. You name it. The rubber is kind of coming apart on the edges but is holding up well. The rubber does swell up a bit but doesn't keep getting worse. holds up very well considering the abuse.
The only tool Snap-on built that impressed me as head and shoulders above other manufactures products was a Snap-on Blue Point air hammer. Amazing power compared to IR or CP hammers. Other than than that, when Snap On truck refused to fix/replace my broken 3/8 ratchet, I dumped all my S-O tools to friends. No point having tools that broke and could not replace, S-O ratchets were an arm and leg even then. Now even Harbor Freight has a good ratchet...
The only reason I can see getting the snap on tool, is already having brought into their battery system. Which is actually Milwaukee's best selling point in my opinion, having a large selection of tools sharing the same batteries!
After using Milwaukees once I got into construction, I finally made the decision to just bite the bullet and buy into a big brand - and you just can't go wrong with Milwaukee, their battery packs may be the best in the industry, and the tools that take them are certainly not lacking compared to their price point competitors.
I never thought that buying into an expensive cordless ecosystem would be the best tool buying decision I ever made - but I didn't think that cordless tools would just plain outclass air tools in a relatively short amount of time either...
and all the new boys like Bauer have copied milwaukees price point and battery system and easy warranty access. wouldn't be surprised if at some point snapon goes away. predatory lenders be dammed one day young people will be to smart for your idiotic pricing systems
Wouldn't it be great if we could have a standardized battery system though... I know metabo have to some extent, which is a good start!
@@MrChrisbell1 or even to swap the 18650 out when its time without needing to spot weld would be very convenient
@@RyTrapp0 When I was looking into which cordless tools I was going to buy, I looked hard at what the various companies said about their batteries, and the charging systems. The only two that I could find that even mentioned cell balancing was Milwaukee and Festool. As you may very be aware of if a single cell in a battery pack gets its voltage to far from the rest, the entire pack reads as bad to the tool, and charger. Milwaukee was the only one of the consumer priced tool that mentioned cell balancing in their literature. So I went with them. I sure am glad I have. Not a single battery pack has gone bad. Use in very cold temps, high temps, use so hard that the tool becomes too hot to hold, and the batteries are hot. Yet the Milwaukee tools keep working.
Happy new year! A treat as always. If you see the budget brand Tacklife it would be awesome to see one of those get the AvE treatment, I have a recip saw and sander from them, dirt cheap but the saw gets a real beating in the garden cutting away smaller trees, I don't bother getting the chainsaw ready with the gas oil fillings and chain sharpening. The thing just keeps on going so it must be chooching decent on the inside (cherry Laurel hedge 100M long I cut 25% of stems down each year, and with five adults plants on a meter with a trunk diameter of 15 to 20cm thats a lot of cutting. )
An informative & skukom video! Thank you Sir! Snap off isn't getting my mula!
I was really waiting in anticipation to hear "let's get this out on a tray"
“All the letters are blending together” can confirm, focus you ffffffff
I had those metal lunch trays at my high school. I graduated in 20+ years ago in 1999.
I’ve had mine for just shy of 4 years. Bolster has held up well through elenty million headlight restorations, BUT this one does look quite different than mine. Price has about doubled also, think I paid around $280 lower 48 monies.
LED on my unit runs green, yellow when she’s about to end it, and red when the battree has given her all the way.
Edit: Mine has also lived its life in a detail shop until recently. So mostly cleanish environment.
With all the talk of sealed, shielded, and open bearings - can you do a test to see if the shield or seal creates some friction for the bearing? Or if it can be set up, run all 3 types through a bunch of junk and see how they actually turn out. For all we know, shielding can keep junk inside in the bearing.
It would be a great test to see if the conventional wisdom still holds.
Absolutely would love to see this from uncle Bumblefuck
If not here, Project Farm would take on that challenge.
A seal would add drag for sure, I don't think a shield would as it isn't touching anything. I don't see much point to testing them, seals work well for small stuff, shields keep the sticks and stones out, and obviously open bearings would be crammed full of junk immediately. Their usage cases are not interchangeable, so what point is there in comparing them?
Sealed bearings are known to have more friction than shielded & open as the shield doesn't touch the other race. The differences (if any) in friction between shielded and open are minor if noticeable.
Keeping stuff in, yea, the grease, especially when the grease gets warm and thinner. Bearings don't last long without the grease, because the balls don't actually run on the races, they run on a thin film of the grease. If the "junk" can get out, so does the grease. Getting dirt or grinding dust into the grease makes the grease essentially lapping paste which will wear down the bearings or races. If water gets in then you get corrosion which will pit the bearing or races.
I have used both sealed and shielded bearings on a 36" coulter on a tree planter that you pull behind a tractor or dozer. Both fail, the sealed bearings last longer overall. Depending on the soil type I've replaced the shielded bearings so many times I think we lost money on the job. WE cut off the mount that was engineered from the manufacture and put the shaft in pillow blocks with sealed bearings and that got us longer life out of the bearings. We also went to a hardened chrome steel shaft that is used for hydraulics for the axle and that helped keep the wear down on the shaft so fine sandy soils could not penetrate to the bearings. That combination seemed to be the best.
And again we are graced by ave's genius mixture of tomfoolery and homoerotic tool references.
Used one at work for a couple years in an extremely clean environment. The over moulding held up fine. Still hadnt had any issues with it when I left
Now a days it’s brand that comes with a heavy price tag. I’d love to see ya rip apart Walmart’s Hart brand and give your thoughts on it. From what I’ve seen I haven’t notice a difference in build quality compared to competition.
Seems to me from what I've seen in the last few years is that Snao-On quality has gone waaaaay downhill. When I first saw the "Snap-On" work light a few years ago that was made by a company not known for particularly good tools (I forget the name at this point), that put me into "what?!" mode. Soon after I found out that they were licensing the Snap-On name, and huge goodwill mind you, to others of way lesser quality. And I guess it is up to you to find out which ones.
Even Bosch blushes red when they see that price/quality ratio.
I use both on a daily basis as polishes so in the slow setting and i find the snap is better purely for the increased torque and allowing more pressure to be applied whilst polishing
I bought 4 or 5 of the 14.4volt snapon tools and while I am quite fond of them you are correct, the over molding at least in heavy mechanic shop type use only makes it about a year. Doesn't hold up to any type of oil or grease getting on it. I try to keep my tools clean after every job but even with brake clean the black rubber holds onto oily stains and just in general sucks.
The tools themselves have held up really well I'll say though. Only issue is one battery pack kicked the bucket after only about 8 months. Batteries are like 120 or so, bit of a kick in the pants.
Hey AvE, angry cursing raging German in his garage here, not fkn able to do half the things i want to. I Cut my self with a grinder at work a week ago and now can't move my left hand. With your vids the months i have in front of me seem not that hard anymore. Ty very much for your work!
Get well soon eh!
@@arduinoversusevil2025 ty very much schönes Wochenende der Herr ;-)
Almost all my tools are Snap-On and I've tried their electric tools and they are hot garbage. My Milwaukee electric ratchets, guns, ect get a beating everyday at work and keep on working. Love my Snap-On hand tools but the electric tools just don't last. Batteries that die and cost more than other whole tools, that rubber overlay peels right off if it even sees solvents and god forbid you drop it.
Hell snap on is being left behind in the hand tool department these days also .
Love the purple mag loader.
I had a set of those snap on guns, not the polisher but a 1/4" screwdriver and a 3/8" impact. The rubber held up very well, and I cleaned them with a rag and non chlorinated brake cleaner 3 times a week for over a year. The issues I had were the terminals in the battery would spread apart and not make contact, and in the 3/8" impact the solder joints would fail for the blade terminals that go into the battery. Either way they started working intermittently, did a few warranty repairs, super frustrating. Switched everything to DeWalt and I haven't looked back.
"Lets get this on a tray... Nice!"
Steve1989MREinfo !
Not gonna lie, I first read this as "Strap-on polisher". Thankfully it is!
I've had this for about 2 years now. I've not had a issue with it and use it to do some lite sanding on racecar parts. But I'm not real gentle with it. I've also wiped it off with brakeclean a number of times. None of the over molding has come off and it still runs pretty good. I've read a lot of people have had issues with them but mine has been trouble free.
Mine has lasted over a year now. No issues at all. Great for removing gaskets. Just keep away from ATF. My 3/8 14.4 impact has been rebuilt twice and Snap on installed new body both times
You can warranty that thing 40 times and they would still make a profit off you
5 minutes in, and I was trying to figure out how Snap On let that thing leave!
Bc snapon is shit
We have 2 of these at work for cleaning up the head plates on radiator cores. works well for it both are sorta new and kept clean. How ever the impact 3/8 drive's from snap-on we've sent back 3 times in 2 months because their trigger shits itself or the battery fucks out.
I have 4 of those in my garage! Only 2 still work after 2 years
The earliest I've ever seen an AvE vid, I'm honored
I've owned the Milwaukee one for 5 years of almost daily use with zero problems.
I too have the Milwaukee one, other then the weird sized thread on the shaft and almost non existent market support in that size. I have used it quite a bit mostly for small sanding jobs, though I did get some buffing wheels for it to take off adhesive from those are all using the sanding twist lock attachments though.
I have had it for almost 4 years with zero issues. It gets used about 5 times a month though, the rest of the time it sits.
My Milwaukee has lived it's entire life (4 years so far) in toolbed on a service truck. Living on the Gulf Coast. It's not uncommon to open my cordless tool drawer to find everything covered in condensation. The tool still works flawlessly. On average it probably gets a full battery of usage a month. Great tool
I have few of the ct series snap on tools, the impacts are awesome. The overmold disintegrates with oily hands and the LED indicates when the battery is discharged. I do not own the sander but the impacts I can say the are super strong and compact.
Great review, I've been liking the Milwaukee 12v gear over here in the UK.
Have you reviewed the M12 soldering iron/gun?
Do the Hart series of power tools from Walmart
Snap On has gone to the dogs, we only use snap On tool box's these days.
Well said. Or as the kids say. For real
They're so prideful of the weight of their name they wont drop their price or even raise their warranty to attempt to compete with the competition that is seriously doing then harm.
Love your videos...vidjeo?...anyways. that GSG-16 tucked away in the back at the beginning of your video is so much fun! Great stuff
Wishing I still had me channel locks like your's.
Sadly some one stole them.
One of my MOST useful tool at my old job.
(Worked at a car wash and laundry mat all so back yard mechanic)
Either that's apprentice level soldering or they asked them to thread a needle up an ants asshole and that's where the strands came from.
I soldered a fair amount of wires in eyeholes on switches and if you botched it up you're being rushed or not paying attention. In this application it could be they asked them to do an awkward soldering arrangement.
Very disappointed in the quality. You’d expect it to be like Fein where the quality and details are perfect but it’s nothing like that
Well, it was MS Paint.
Fein does not walk on water.
Burned one up!
I've had one of these for about 2 years ! It's been great! hasn't been back to snap on service yet, only problems I've found with it on a hot day it will cut out from overheating and now starting to get a lot of play in the outer spindle bearing
A couple of fellas at work have the whole Snap On lithium tool lineup , with all the batteries. In a diesel shop the over molding does start coming off. I have a set of Kobalt(blowes house brand) impacts, drill, light etc and the rubber is holding up better after 4 years.
Let's get this out onto a tray!
You didn't say, "let's get this out onto a tray"
So disappointing.
Nice
he also didn't whisper "nice lil hiss" when the clamshell opened
Have the screwgun, and the 3/8 impact they make. Both amazing tools. Molding holds up well. Even against solvents. Batteries on the other hand arent so great.
I've had one for around 3-4 years and it has the same issue inside the battery compartment but it's held okay. It hasn't had any issues but also hasn't come into contact with any oil yet. I think I bought it for about $200 US from the tool truck but didn't have the battery or charger since I have the drill, 3/8s drive impact, wratchet and 1/4" impact driver. If I could go back and do it all again I would probably have all Milwaukee stuff but they've all stayed together so far.
Should’ve got that onto a tray.
Nice!
No Hiss. HaHa!
Uhh... A purple UpLULA, same color as mine 😊
I chose that color as I figured that others at the range would not "borrow" it, given most people at the range seem to be a bit unsecure about their own masculinity 😂
Glad someone else seen it.
I do not have that specific tool, but I do own their screw gun which appears to be the same frame. I am an aircraft mechanic and I love the screw gun. I have used it daily over the last three years and I have not had any issues with it. I also use isopropyl alcohol and av gas to clean it daily and have not had any issues with the grip material on the handle.
been usung mine for 2 years works flawless
6:19 was that a reference to steve? nice
AvE looks like he's cosplaying as a scav from escape from tarkov
No, the scavs are role-playing as good old Uncle Bumblefuck.
I still remember doing my schoolboy work experience week at a Vauxhall garage in the late 90s. A dozen mechanics complaining about how poorly paid they were whilst organising their snap-on cabinets. My eyebrows spent most of the week scraping the ceiling.
I've had one of them for about 3 years now working as an ag mechanic. Definitely don't remember it costing that much but anyways. The body holds up very well, never had the moulding come off, but I take care of my tools so that can change. It works good but I think it's more designed for use in automotive applications rather than heavy... I've had to have it sent in once but that was after a large diesel overhaul where the previous mechanic likes silicone, and before I had a good air system in my shop.
So its basically an overpriced drill that cant take drillbits?
Yah bud
That was my thought. I have adapters to take sandpaper that fit my De Walt- I can sand forward or reverse, two speeds no waiting!
And no five hundred *extra* doll hairs!
They spin quite a bit faster than drills
Certainly the air type
Catterpiller die grinders anyhow
If fried using a cordless drill to save unrolling an air line but drills just don't cut it once you've used a proper die grinder
I'm in the market for possibly the milwakee one just because I'm already I their battery system
Mind you cat grinders are only $80 Aus each and last for ever
Mind you cat
yes if your dril can do 15000 riperms
I ran one of these with a cookie wheel professionally for years till the Milwaukee Right angle die grinder came out haven’t touched it since
I’ve had mine for nearly 3 years now I think or maybe 2.5 and my moulding hasn’t come off or started and I’m a diesel/hydraulic mechanic and no issues so I’m happy with it. Does mulch batteries though.
I use that snapon buffer almost every day for the past two years. I will tell you it will hold up. I use it mainly for buffing good ground connections on engine blocks and frames as well as cleaning terminals. I throw around all the time and spray it down with brake clean as well. None of the rubber molding has come off. I have most of the micro lithium stuff from them. I will buy another one if this one fails. Same goes with their micro lithium 3/8 impact. The batteries are the only thing that seems to suffer after time. But what battery last’s a lifetime. Love the Vijaho’s.
