Makita tools have treated me very well.
Hello Guest, welcome to the initial stages of our new platform!
You can find some additional information about where we are in the process of migrating the board and setting up our new software here
Thank you for being a part of our community!
Also Im sorry for any of you that spent money on a snapon cordless impact. It's a gimmic, they're much more expensive and don't perform nearly as well as other cheaper brands.
Meh, I get a nice discount on Snap-On.
As far as performance goes... There are several guys here in the shop with various other manufacturers. Cost is the only concern keeping them shopping around. No-one, ever, has claimed that theirs outperforms the Snap-On.
Does snapon offer more than a 1 year warranty? Milwaukee is 5 year warranty and they pay shipping and freight for you.
No need to pay shipping when you've got a dealer to hook you up while at work.
My corded B&D 1/2" has got so many hours on it that the head needs rebuilding. I've owned it since 1987, so it doesn't owe me much. BTW, the Snap-On version of the same tool for that year was a rebadged B&D, for you trivia buffs...
No need to pay shipping when you've got a dealer to hook you up while at work. I've got a 1/4" hex Rigid impact that does swimmingly with the small fasteners.
But snapon is an American company that's good to its employees. When you're a professional there aren't many competitors. When you rely on your tools to make money you don't want to wait for some bs warranty 4 weeks from now.
Most of the companies are china based now
Your average home prospector it's fine
MFFW 2 year bump followed by pedantics
ISHYGDDT etc.
Nah actually milwaukee will pay shipping for you and have the tool back in your hands in less than 2 weeks. And I'd depend on that tool much before the snapon. Either way to each their own.
Watch some AVE on YouTube. The tool guy is pretty biased
Mulfukie is good stuff. I personally have Ridgid and have abused the brown out of it. Had two batteries crap out on me after I left an impact out in rain twice for over a week
He is FAR from biased what are you talking about? He states specs and tests each tool equally.
And yeah I saw aves milfukie dead after a year:/ big fan of uncle bumblefu<z>ck though
