Personally I rather go with the Milwaukee just because of the warranty.
Agreed.
Also price. It’s a fraction of the cost snap on charges for their electric ratchets. I got mines today at Home Depot for 180 dollars without the battery. But the battery’s are expensive but with the charger and battery is 200 plus dollars but it’s worth it
So do you buy dorman parts because of warranty too?
@@upnorth5465 lmao, I don’t think most people will understand your comment. Unless they have got burned so many times by Dorman.
@@tluperz400 if they don't then they are not mechanics and don't understand the abuse tools receive using them all day every day vs a diy guy once a month. Everyone tells me I must of gotten lemons but I've had as much success with Milwaukee as I have dorman.
Love my Milwaukee rachets and impacts but for torque wrenches snap on is the way to go specially that tech angle. Got my 3/8 waiting on my 1/2 to arrive.
Snap has the button. Way better for me
You lose torque using a chrome socket... Use an impact socket to get the best out of it
I've seen the "run and gun" deal in other videos. Wouldn't that cause the socket to wear and/or run the risk of rounding the fastener?
Of course it would only a fool would do that to their own vehicle. This is what’s being done to ur car at the dealership bc the tech doesnt want to get up and get a breaker bar.
@@4Thug2Life0 usually if its tight you can use the ratchet too break it lose by hand.
I just purchased the Snap-on CTR762 Brute, just watching the video for fun lol ;)
That thing has some serious power
@@LetsDriftMedia What torque wrench are you using, looks pretty good, I might grab one of those too if you recommend.
@@Engineerboy100 its a snap on digital 1/2" its like 500$ i wouldn't waste the money. Get the icon click type its 150 with lifetime warranty
Milwaukee is 12v, the Snap On is 14.4. Why wouldn't you mention this?
Let me guess, you own a Milwaukee and can’t handle the fact that it’s second?
Easy for Milwaukee to be better when they have the snap on stuff to beat when they make the tools lol. And snap on doesn't have 30 thousand models of every power tool they make one it that's the one they have for a while.
Snap on won!
Let the butt hurt began
*begin
Milwaukee FTW
Milwaukee all day. Snap-On is overpriced.
Not so much anymore. They are within 20-40 dollars difference in price for bare tool options.
Snap on 260. Milwaukee 180. These are just tool prices, online. Almost a 50% price bump buying the snapon over the Milwaukee.
@@Maroco918 No one pays retail on a snap on truck. I paid 211 for my snap on brand new from my dealer so yeah...$31 dollars difference.
I prefer my Snapon ratchet cause it gets into tight spaces better and it has more breakaway torque
Milwaukee is coming out with a 3/8” that’s twice as fast as that one in February
One thing I should add. It might not hurt to have both since there’s times twice the speed is hard to handle. I’ve used snap on ratchets as well and they are very fast and controllable. Which from my experience the Milwaukee is not as controllable with its paddle switch. However the snap-on’s do not hold up anywhere near like the Milwaukee. That’s why I switched and I’m very excited to try buy the new high speed fuel.
And I believe the head design is smaller
But less torque they said.
@@makeitbreakit7556 i got the new fuel and its wicked, can handle more than i even expected. I dont use it every day but damn when one of are big trucks go down and need a fixing just plain old wrenches and ratchets suck. Its small and fits in my hard case with wrenches and socket set.
@@kim4548 ur right they said just as much as the Gen 1 milwaukee m12
I am a snap on guy but I am very happy with milwaukee
I love Snap-On, but all my power tools are Milwaukee and I own the 3/8 ratchet shown and love it! I’ve been using Milwaukee for a long time and have not had any major issues. Their batteries are fantastic!
The Milwaukee stops at 40 foot pounds and struggles because it's got a protection circuit drives me mad
The tithing torque probably low on the snap on because it has more rpm then the Milwaukee and the Milwaukee has less rom and more torque
I can't stand the protection circut on any of my Milwaukee ratchets and I have every one they made the Snap on are the old reliable for me
Hey man I really like your videos! I think it would be good for you to do a series of basic mechanic education stuff like how to change a tire on the mounting machine, how to swap brakes (generic caliper and drum), how to jack a vehicle safely, etc. Eventually getting into electrical diag etc. I think it would be really good for those brand new techs! Keep up the good work! These tool reviews are great!
I second this, I’m about to start as an express tech at Toyota they’re paying really damn good man and they pretty much stole me from my old shop
I’ve own both these tools. Snap-on battery life last way longer compared to the 2.0 Milwaukee that comes with the kit. I say the Milwaukee has more torque because it’s able to take out rusted/lock tighted nuts and bolts out with ease. The snap on wasn’t able to do so. Ive had my Milwaukee since February, and it hasn’t been holding up. I’m also in automotive. Jobs I use it for are brake work, light motor like air filters, spark plugs, batteries and valve covers and also suspension work. The problem is the 4 screws holding the ratchet head to the plastic body come loose. Idk if it has to do with me braking bolts loose and tightened then a little more till they are snug. But I had barely noticed it this Saturday morning and had lost a screw. Other than thats no problems with the tool doing it’s job. Snap-on’s quality does feel better and well built. Milwaukee is cheaper and gets the job done that I need. I sold the snap-on because of the torque difference.
I work on cars for a living. I've had both and the feel and quality of the snapon is undeniable. I've gone thru about 4 Milwaukee ratchets(great tools) but not up to the quality and durability of the snapon. Ergonomically the snapon is also better.
I've got the the Snap On electric ratchets. Nothing against Milwaukee (I have some Milwaukee electric tools too) but the Snap On ratchets just feel better in my hands while working and since I use my 1/4" electric ratchet almost all day everyday, that's important to me. I had to get one of my Snap On ratchets repaired last year after about 5 years of service so durability is not a problem for me.
It's also heavier than the milwaukee, in a better way. The snap on is more compact but the body and internals feel so much more rigid and sturdy. No hate on the milwaukee, that thing goes to work for half the cost. But it does feel cheap...
I have the snap on 1/4 dr and Milwaukee 1/4 dr battery ratchets. I do think the Milwaukee has more power. But I hate the paddle trigger. My snap on is the go to ratchet.
I’ve said it before and I will always say it!! Snapon makes the best electric ratchets hands down! I’ve owned them all and snapon is the best! The Milwaukee is just way to big, I tried to like it but just couldn’t. Traded it in for a 1/4 snapon. I will gladly pay more for what works for me.
I agree I like they're ratchets but Milwaukee impacts are the best
The batteries make no difference in torque power. They just let the tool run at optimal voltage longer. which is funny cause snap-on is only at 14.4volts I have their extended 3/8" Brute edition which is rated at 70 to 76ftlbs breakaway torque. bit more money but strongest speed ratchet available on the market.
Head size on snap on way better for tighter spaces
Snap on brute will do 70 foot pounds easy
The pause with the Milwaukee is the same with the other tools I got..... that’s a new technique
It’s the protection circuits working, if the tool is overworked it will shut off to prevent damage and prolong the tool life.
@@4Thug2Life0 that's some bullshit lol. Let me abuse the tools!
I dont need it doing that "fancy shmuck protection" I need it to do its job and once Its fucked up, warranty it. That's how these tools should be used in a heavy duty world.
Milwaukee - warranty 5 years in tool, 3 years warranty on battery, brushless motor.
a Milwaukee kit cost around $245.00
Strap -on 1 year warranty on tool and battery brush motor.
A snap on kit cost around $ 500 plus making payments and earning interest
I paid 250 for my snap on 3/8 brand new off the truck with 1 battery... Paid 390 for my brand new extended reach 3/8 snap on with 2 batteries and a charger... Paid 290 for my brand new 1/4" snap on with 1 battery. All these purchases were to replace my Milwaukee Fuel cordless ratchets I had. I hated the paddle trigger and how slow they were. Only one I kept is the 1/4" extended Milwaukee. Warranty doesn't mean it's better. I've sent way more Milwaukee tools in for warranty than I have Snap On or Matco. I'm on my 3rd Milwaukee 3/8 stubby impact in 4 years.
Truck accounts have 0% interest by the way.
Here in australia snap-on have lifetime warranty
That is sad too a brush motor snap on beat the brushless fuel
I think snapon is made better for the professional mechanic. I have the snap on brute long neck 70 ft lb. But Milwaukee makes better impacts.
I feel the same way man.
I've used both of these tools, and neither have really let me down. They are nice tools to use with decent torque, but we all know that when the bolt/nut is stuck and the trigger doesn't loosen them, we tend to press/turn on the end of the wrench and then break it loose that way and then allow the tool to spin it off.
The main difference I have found between the two is that the head of the Snap On wrenches get really hot, sometimes too hot to comfortably touch. Yes, the Milwaukee also get hot, but it isn't as hot, and doesn't get hot as fast as the SO.
I personally got the millwaukee and i enjoy it! But i can see why people loves the snap on!
The trigger is more comfortable on the snap on over the Milwaukee as well As the Snap on being thiner more comfy in the hand
Hey bro I wanted to ask, where did you get your training from? You got certified somewhere? I’m trying to find the best school to go to to get my certificate to start my mechanic career, I live in Texas, plus not trying to break the bank 😅
Toyota has a T ten program to get certified through them so you get a jump start to being expert tech with them
As a professional I prefer the snapy cordless which is what I have. Either way both are better than hand racheting and noisy air.
Just noisy air what about the hose you gotta drag around.
Have both of them and snap on seems have a bit more power. Who knows, could be bocause of rpm's. But Milwaukee impact guns l like better then Snap On, as thay have more power and less weight
Using the snap on 14.4v personally I like the button trigger a little more than the lever
Don’t get me wrong I like snap on but obviously not their prices. I’ve broken many snap on tools in aviation they arent worth the money they charge. In my opinion I prefer Wright Tools they are cheaper and are very durable . Yeah they may be tailored more towards industrial tools but the wrenches, sockets etc last a lifetime.
😂😂😂 you said breakaway torque matters. All joking aside, good video thanks for the info.
I just got the Milwaukee one
Before yesterday , it’s fast battery last long time I did not have to charge it jet
, it was $200 at Home Depot comes with 1 battery and charger
I started out with all Milwaukee and traded them all off. Snap on is where it's at for cordless ratchets.
100% agree with that man.
@@LetsDriftMedia i agree. I have milwaukee impacts, and snap on cordless ratchets.
Same here i also prefer ct761 compact 3/8 impact over m12 stubby because of the slimness, lightweight, and trigger of the snap on impact
@@petemartinez318 I just picked up the new ct861. It's sweet! I agree with you, I never did like the m12 stubby impacts either. That rocker trigger and how slim and small it is makes it the best daily 3/8 gun on the market as far as cordless guns go.
@@upnorth5465 damn!! Is the 861 a big difference from the 761?!
A new model is coming out next month. Maybe do this video again
I got the new snap on brute 3/8 cordless ratchet. Best purchase ever, it’s a beast.
Personally both I have and they both have its place but can’t do A job without either. My preference anyway but warranty wise yeah Milwaukee is up and Snapon it’s speed.
I'm sure it's been said, but the 2A vs 4A isn't more or less power, it's Ah...it's how long the battery lasts on a charge. There's just more cell batteries under the plastic casing in the 4Ah than the 2Ah with the same voltage and amp rating output. The newer SO 14.4v MicroLithium Battery is "14.4 V 2.5 Ah high-capacity lithium battery (36 Wh)", and it's that ending Watthour that really shows how long it should last on a charge, but given a voltage and an Ah number (like 2.5 or 4), it's our rule of thumb to get there with no math...it's just basic Ohm's law. A 4 lasts longer than a 2, simple :D
Your definitely wrong there. The batteries with the higher amp hour have more power to. Watch torque test channel. It’s the cell discharge rate. You can hear the speed difference from a. 2ah to a 4ah. It has more amperage to.
I've had the snap on for over 3 years, and its help up great, I like that its more compact than the milwaukee
You're testing the Gen 1 milwuakee vs the current snap on. Not fair. Gen 2 would outperform snap on.
Snap-On has been the barometer for everyone so no harm in people aiming to beat them. I do like the fact the Snap-On show wear and been really used and still kicking strong after 2 plus years s of real world beating.
The new high speed coming from Milwaukee will dominate!
Actually probably be worst because they sacrifice toque specs to gain rpm speed so you would probably have use the run and gun method more often.
@@That1Guy708 So you are saying it has less torque from the original?
@@bennettshfd2 of course it does Milwaukee even posted that in their release video.
You got me there. Only up to 35 ft. pounds, like the non-fuel version, although if you want torque, then use a torque wrench.
These are ratchets not impact wrenches just break the bolts lose like a regular rachet and spin-off or spin down and torque to spec no big deal.
All the miwaukee die hards would be crying bloody murder seeing a beaten old snap on ratchet cake their pride and joy lol.
Right on a Native Mechanic I recognize your last name 🤟🏽🤟🏽 I currently enrolled in the Toyota Program
Love you videos 👏🏽
Snapon ratchet for sure. Feels good. Lasts years
I got the Milwaukee! Once the Milwaukee is turning, it has a hard time stopping under load!
Todos sabemos que no tienen mucho torque y sobre todo snap on no tiene torque yo las e probado y con parado con Milwaukee y las rachet y las pistolas de impacto sobre las pistolas de impacto yo prefiero las hilti lo malo son muy ruidosas hacen mucho ruido el impacto y son mucho más fuertes las impacto de hilti que las snap on y Milwaukee
If you can you should try their testing their 1/2 inch impacts Milwaukee vs snap on. I have the Milwaukee and haven’t ran into a bolt that thing can busy lose. For the ones who know how tight Honda crank bolts off, it be busting those lose no problem
I prefer snap on because they drive to you. I broke my cordless ratchet and gave it to the driver they rebuilt it
Great content my friend. Gonna subscribe now. Love that your a Toyota tech, I am aspiring to do the same. Love the brand and would LOVE to be responsible for them.
One love,
Griff
Rigid as well, snap on is made in the usa, which iam more than happy to pay extra for
Snap on feels more refined and way faster , milfuky is bulky and slowwww joeeee
As much as I love snappy, Milwaukee gets all my money when it comes to power tools.
Break away torque does not matter. It's a ratchet. Bust that shit loose with the tool and let er rip
Snap is brushed, Milwaukee is brushless! Brushless last longer!
Maybe old model milwaukee 35 foot pounds.. new model 55 foot pounds..
Like the videos. Tips and tricks fir better efficiency videos would be good to see.
Milwakee is chinnese made, made by the same company makes milwakee, ryobi,
I have both and jump for the snap on every time because of the trigger
Yo were did you get the sound for your intro for this video cause I’m tryna edit a video for my actual channel if you can at least tell and idea I’d appreciate it thanks in advance
I get all my music from epidemicsound it’s 15$ a month but you get access to a ton of copyright free music
3/8 long neck snap on Brute love it and they have a magnet for the bottom of their batteries with the 70 foot power good tool
Same over here that thing really is brutal freaking love mine
Seeing as how Snap-On is using the same battery technology (they stole it) as the Milwaukee, the 2.0 to 2.5 Ah isn't really all that different. Not to mention that you don't really get more power out of the larger Ah batteries, you get longer sustained peak power, which merely makes the tool perform at its max working level longer.
What battery technology was stolen? I don't think you fully understand voltage vs current and how it relates to work performed. Watts (power) = voltage X current. The higher amp hour rated battery you have the more current you'll have but you also have less voltage drop under load.
Someone recently kinda debunked the "Milwaukee not getting more power by battery" with their impacts. Probably not the same case with the ratchets, Regardless.
The 4 Ah battery doesn't deliver more power than the 2 Ah, it just lasts longer. I ended up ordering the Milwaukee a few minutes ago. I have a ton of Snap-On tools, but the Milwaukee just made more sense. Currently a Peterbilt tech. 40 years in the business.
You guys should run this test with Snap-on's new brushless 3/8s. It's a beast
Snap on like a boss lol
Yes when your arms stuck in a weird place you need some break away torque
Finally someone who understands why a powerful ratchet is worth the coin.
I’m usually a Milwaukee guy but the Snap on wins this one.
Same
I agree about the Breakaway torque. lots of guys say they don't care about the Breakaway torque that they'll just break it loose and then run it. I was a professional mechanic for 11 years and Snap-ons air ratchet had the best Breakaway torque. No one in my shop would buy anything but a Snap-On air ratchet because of this. When you're in a tight spot and you don't have room to ratchet it's very important to have good Breakaway torque. Also use to use the run-and-gun method with the air ratchet, rev it up and slap it on. When you're a flat-rate mechanic faster is better. Also used to run 150 psi to all our tools. More power more better. Breakaway torque matters. And that right angle impact is big and bulky and you can't feel the torque when it goes back on. You need to be able to feather it tight. Then put a hand ratchet on to do the final snug . But who wants to do that taking it off . Looks like the Snap-on battery powered is as close as you can get to the Snap-on air ratchet. My Snap-on air ratchets would last about 7 years at 50 hours a week. I wonder about the battery powered. I don't think they're there yet
Good review thx, but these are ratchets not impact wrenches just break the bolts like a regular rachet, and spin-off or spin down and torque to spec no big deal. Homedepot sells the Milwaukee Fuel 3/8 ratchet for $159 - $169, five-year warranty not $200, and the Snap-on ratchet is $297 one year warranty of the truck, but prices do vary on where you live.
I have the Snap on one and it's just the best tool brand to me
Been contemplating this purchase and was quoted $365 for just the bare Snap On tool.
Wth I think I paid that for the extended neck 3/8 about 3 months ago with 1 battery included
CTR861GDB list $404.95 / $65 discount / $339.95 + tax = $365
…..no way. Hard pass :(
I bought the first gen ratchet when they first arrived in the UK. Was fine for years then it started looking power and then stopped all together. Bought a milwaukee fuel ratchet to try and I hate it. Feels so numb and clunky with the paddle trigger mech and now getting problems with the battery packs
I bought my dad the new snap on brute ratchet for fathers day and it blows the milwaukee away in use. But from a price point milwaukee wins but snap on wins warranty as I see the guy every week to have a good complain at him
So you are comparing the high torque Milwaukee vs the standard torque snap on. Why wouldn't you compare the high torque vs high torque or standard vs standard?
Anyone who says break away torque doesn't matter is because they are DYIers. If you're in the automotive industry long enough you'll appreciate break away torque
I have the snap on brute I love it
My Snap-On electric just went up in a blaze of glory, literally went up in flames.
I want that torque wrench!
Also I've had my milwaukee fuel 3/8 for probably 2 1/2 years now. Its beat, the white lettering is gone, the case is scratched and cut, head is all chipped away and banged up. Still works like it did when it was new. Milwaukee will have my money for power tools!
Man after buying my long neck brute I’ll never put my hands on a milwaukee ratchet I have over 6 months of everyday use and abuse and it still hits with 70ftlbs
I got both i like both of them
That 5 year warranty is hard to argue
I have 5 millwake ratchets the long neck and normal 3/8 1/4 and 1/2 I put a 8speed Eaton trans in with worked great
Test the torque of an 3rd generation milwaukee fuel 1/4” impact driver w/ high output battery vs the milwaukee stubby
I wish I could have the best of both. Snap on has slightly better ergonomics but milwaukee has higher performance for the cheaper price. I have to go snap on if I'm having to hold this all day long.
First time watcher 10 years in the industry. That intro is PRICELESS
Snap ons warrenty is ass 😂 i had their electric ratchet and had to warranty it twice within that first year
Mines 1.5years old now still no problems
@@LetsDriftMedia thats good for you lol
But in my case i had warranty it twice, the second time it actually started to smoke 🥴
I have the matco 16v and Milwaukee m12 fuel. I prefer my matco.
This is why my oil changes take 4 hours
I'm not a lube tech lol
May be if you use a stubby or short sockets il be at spect on milwaukee 🤷♂️
i use the snap on 3/8 cordless ratchet mainly for spark plug removal after losing the spark plug with a ratchet. I even bought the battery magnet base snap on sells as an add on.
Do you own a Milwaukee stubby? If so which do you use more?
I got both the milwuakee short neck and the snap on long neck both work good feel like snap on might be a bit more torque if not the same rpm higher on milwuakee for sure
Good vid, a huge difference though is that the snap on can be serviced on the truck to a certain degree
I picked up a Milwaukee 3/8 stubby and man it kicks ass. Favorite one now.
