I actually wrote a little review on it on Garage Journal if you feel like reading it. http://garagejournal.com/forum/showt...55#post2362355

If you do pull the trigger on this impact IMO: act fast because vendors are jacking the price up on this thing every day. I was able to get mine with one battery for like $380. I now see them over $600 on Ebay
Also, if you buy the kit (impact,battery,charger) before August 31, IR has a free battery rebate! http://www.autosourcetoday.com/rebat...Aug%202012.pdf IR came out with that 20v one last year 1100 breakaway tq and challanged an older SnapOn impact with only 620 breakaway tq at SEMA and the IR won the compitation. This year SnapOn came out with a new model to compete with the new IR impact. A few years ago the IR and the SnapOn guns were put nose to nose and the SnapOn gun smoked the IR gun. Id like to see the same thing with these two new models and see what the results are. Here is alink to the video of SnapOn smoking IR
Fat Ron that was a good wright up on the IR, thank you. The video posted above is really cool. But that is a video of the old snap on and the old IR correct? not the IR that Fat Ron posted about right? What is the price of the new snapOn?

Yes old SnapOn and old IR are in the video. I have the newest SnapOn cordless that is rated at 800 breakaway paid $659.95 for it and it is the baddest 1/2 cordless ive ever used and this is my 3rd 1/2 cordless gun. I was told by the SnapOn dealer that the internal guts of the SnapOn are steel and the IR is composite and plastics. I havent sceen an exploded view of either to verify, but I stand by my SnapOn one all the way. Personally I have broken loose 3.5 & 3.7 Honda & Acura V6 crankbolts with my SnapOn CT7850 cordless impact. I work at a GMC, Honda, Acura dealership in service department and it gets abused every day. I would like to see the new IR and the new SnapOn nose to nose in another comp.

We only used Snap On 1/2" at the truck shop I used to work at. We would use them for everything except tightening lugnuts and adjusting rears.
Worked for a few towing companies, and they all had Snap On 1/2" guns for changing flats.
Like it was said, get two batteries and you'll be set.

I have had a 18V Milwaukee for at least 7 years - great at the Junkyard for tearing down diffs - only had one pinion that would not come loose they now also offer 28V and if you do get L/I batteries much better than Ni-cads never tried the othersbut I'm super happy with Milwaukee!
