They work very well. My daughter has used one several times to jump the cars of friends (other doctors). She is not a car person, so, if she can handle it, successfully, it’ll work well for you, too.
 
If it’s real, that is the worst looking Snap-On I’ve ever seen. Rough edges, rough forging, plain cut with no flank drive, and crummy lettering.
I believe its real and just pre-dates flank drive. Patent came around ‘65, not sure when all the tools received flank drive though.

Its also common for older wrenches not to have date codes.

Maybe they didn’t use date codes, but it looks like they used them on some items back to 1927!
 
I’m too old to use most tools these days’ so I was reluctant to order this ½-inch Impact Wrench and sockets. (Milwaukee 2967-21b). However, after a recent flat I was reminded of my diminishing strength to break loose lug-nuts. It hurts to admit that, but if you don’t get whacked by some weird accident you’ll end up like me at some point. Anyway, after spending half a day waiting for a roadside weasel, I saw the light and ordered one. Sure, it’s rare when I have a flat but when it happens, its comforting to know that I can now zip through it without being stranded.

Pro’s: Fast, Sturdy, Good Light
Con’s: Flimsy Charger, Bag is too small, Battery was depleted and doesn’t fully charge.

If new the battery should absolutely fully charge? What's the problem exactly? You're not getting all 4 bars to illuminate? Does the charger eventually switch from red to green?
 
In an effort to consolidate my capabilities and scan tools
I copped this BF special on an Autel TS900
Standard Bi-Directional mid tier Autel, now with more RAM, a bigger screen, and modernized USB-C/5 GHz WiFi
Bluetooth VCI is much more elegant than the cable
And TPMS built in, not a bad deal for $600 delivered
I've got a TS508WF, and an MK808
This is both, combined, new and improved

Ivan was recommending the MK808-TS
This is like the next step up, for no extra money
Bigger screen, better battery, newer I/O
Only downside is it doesn't have a slot to hold the VCI
I'll cope without it 😏
