I was using 18v DeWalt, 18v Snap-on & 14.4v Snap-on battery powered tools, The DeWalt XRP batteries were starting to give out in a little over a year since I bought 2 new ones from Home Depot. The Snap-on 18V impact has been a joke ever since I bought it used in like new condition.
I've been very impressed with the Snap-on 14.4 Micro-Lithium line, My oldest batteries are 4 years old & still perform like new.
I already had the flashlight, 1/4" & 3/8" ratchets, NO issues other than the rubber degrading from ATF exposure.
Made the leap & bought a 3/8" capacity drill, Screwdriver, 1/4" quick change impact, & a 3/8" drive impact. The CT761A 3/8" Impact is the only tool I bought off the Snap-on truck brand new.....My rep gave my $200 trade-in for my 18v Snap-on 3/8" impact. Dead-Body 14.4v 3/8" impact with 1 battery retails for $317, He knocked it down to $300 even including tax. So I got off the rape van for $100!!!!
CDR761A drill off E-bay for $80 with one battery, Good condition.
CT761QC 1/4" quick change impact off E-bay for $200 with 2 batteries & charger. MINT condition!
CTS761 1/4" quick change Screwdriver off E-bay for $97 with 1 battery & charger, Tool is mint....Battery is a little beat-up.
I like the "Rocker Switch" & the compact size of these tools, I seriously considered the Milwaukee 12v line....But taking in account that I already own the SO electric ratchets made the decision easy!
