MUST SEE! Milwaukee 12V STUBBY vs Snap-on 18V STUBBY [Head to Head] 

I think your criticism of the button on the snap on is well deserved. When I pay a premium price, I expect them to not save a few pennies on things like those buttons. I know that Snap On makes fewer tools, and it’s expensive to make things in low volume. But if they can’t make a better tool, they really shouldn’t even bother IMHO.

The M12 STUBBY GEN 2 is HALF PRICE AND SHOULD SNAP UP SNAP ON

HECK Buy the new GEN 2 STUBBY and have enough LEFT OVER to Buy the 2967 with a 6 AMP FORGE BATTERY

Milwaukee's really pushing that "look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power, its right to pity them" energy ...

Snap-on really should stick to just hand tools. Their hand tools have always been top notch, their power tools are for fan boys, overpriced, under powered and a ( I dont back it sorry warranty). So many better options and it doesn't have to be Milwaukee either.

I love my gen 1 stubby, going to get this one as soon as Christmas comes around with the sales. I've got every milwaukee impact all the way up to the 1" d handle, love all of them.

I bought the 1/2 inch ct950 when they 1st came out got a good deal on it and within the 1st year of using it broke 3 anvils and had electrical issues with it got it repaired under warranty again and then sold it off and got the milwaukee never had any issues with that i also have both the milwaukee stubbys and they are brilliant never will i buy snap on electrical tools they are junk but the hand tools are good thats about all I'd buy from them good video 👍🏼

That snap on is the size of a mid torque

Two for the price of one Snap-on 🤑💪

I think we are now at the point where these 3/8 drive impacts will start wrecking 3/8 drive sockets. Love the power but wow, that is just ludicrous! Again thank you for all the work and testing that goes into these videos 😉

I can't keep up, financially. I got a Harbor Freight Earthquake air impact w/750 ft. lbs. This compact Milwaukee is knockin' on the door- no compressor needed!

The OG Stubby for the WIN….lol! Great head to head!

Noticed at the end of the video that it looks like you have a blinking flex battery in the background. I could be wrong but the same thing happened to me and I had to warranty it. Fantastic video as always!

In regards to fairness with wattage, let’s not forget that the 18v is a true functioning nominal voltage whereas the 12v is only that fresh of the charger. Running it’s gonna be closer to 10.8v.

I just watched a comparison by a snap on dealer at a tool show boot between these 2 stubby's and the snap on won easily. So, I had to come here for an independent review. Great video

The Snap On looks so much larger. I’m in the M12 line but also in DeWalt, and already have the DCF921 and 923 and absolutely love them. According to your test of those drivers, the new Stubby looks like it is even more powerful by around 50-100lbs depending on battery’s. I do prefer the handle on DeWalt tools vs M12.

snap on just needs to give up... I would go Milwaukee all the way. I started with their screwdriver and getting slowly invested as tools are needed. This looks interesting but for my needs, the Kobalt 24v 3/8 and 1/2 that I got for $59 each are enough for me. I would recommend anyone who finds them at Lowes to pick them up as they are pretty good. Had to remove air bag suspension on my Saab 9-7x (Trailblazer clone) and replace with soil springs that the Kobalt impacts really helped. If I ever need more, I am definitely picking this one up. Thanks for the videos.

Milwaukee power tools are miles ahead on Snap on but for hand tools snap on is top notch. The Milwaukee kit 2562-22 will be a Christmas gift from me to me this year 😆🎁🎅🦌

Again why I go with Milwaukee. It matches all my contractors tools too. All interchangeable. Snap-on is still behind on their game. This was a good run fir them, but they just got smeared by a 12volt...hahaha

double the price, 66% more voltage, cheaply made and also made in china, who in their right mind would buy snap-on in 2024. If you're worried about longevity, ridgid has a sale right now for 179 for a 3/8 and 1/2 sub compact impact wrenches and a battery/charger. Of course it comes with the lifetime service agreement for everything, including battery. Per STR's own testing, they came close to this level of breakaway torque.

Dewalt got 2 months to respond 😂

I need that new Milwaukee stubby in my life. Are the 1/2” and 3/8” drives any stronger than the other in your testing?

Snap on fan boys real quiet after this. Yet when that snap on "stubby" came out they wouldnt STFU about how it better than a 5+ year old 12 volt Milwaukee for 4x the price and a shit warranty. Cant wait for a new m18 stubby and see how much power they squeeze out of it with a new motor

That Milwaukee ain't keepin' up with the Sharpie!

I love my gen1 and use it 86% of the time

I just found my Christmas present 🎁 thanks boss

Kobalt 24v has a new stubby in 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 in sizes. Id be interested if you could test those.

Sooo should I get the milwaukee in a 3/8 or 1/2? I just work on my old chevy truck.

The Snap On is a midsized masquerading as stubby. It looks huge next to the M12.

I knew the 9038 was gonna be a decent tool. It doesn't have to be the strongest to be a good tool for me, and price isn't a big deal either. My Snap On man is GREAT and gives really good deals consistently. I still love my milwaukee for at home use!

The only good thing about snap on is Manny

Whoever u like...this is a win win for all of us. The original stubby is awesome and it's my go to all of yhebtime

You can't use a 3/8 to 1/2 adapter and expect it to have the max breakaway torque.

Im not convinced the 3/8 drive is stronger than the 1/2. Socket weight plays a roll and youre using a 1/2 drive socket with an adapter welded on to it. Thats a decent amount of extra weight. I wanna see the same size sockets but in their own drives against each other

I don't think I ever see you guys review worx Impact or driver can you do one I would like to see how it stalk up to the test

What adapter is being used on the Milwaukee gen 2 for use on the 1/2 socket?

Hi can you please review the makita 3/4 xgt impact wrench, thanks 😊

Exceedingly common SnapOn L. 12V vs 18V, 1.5x heavier, abysmal 2 year warranty. Absolutely pitiful battery platform with no real tool selection. Anyone who wants to accomplish anything needs a cordless tool platform worth investing in. If you have what? 30-some tools your platform is a dead end in 2024. And you get to throw a ton of money at pure mediocrity. Then you get to throw even more at it when it's breaking at month 27. And that rebuild will likely cost as much as an entire tool with a 3-5 year warranty from an actual respectable cordless power tool manufacturer.

Snap on powertools aint cuttin it. All you get is cool color choices lmao.

The only thing I hate about this video is the fact that Strap-On still has a fan base

We see what's hanging in your box😉😁

12:10moment of silence for snap on 🎩

I really don’t care about the Snap-On, I want to know how big a step the Gen2 Stubby is vs the Gen1.

You knew not to that crap up against Dewalt , not even close

Keeping my old stubbys, but buying the new ones if i need more power lol

Didnt the Hercules impact driver get to 500lbs too? Makes that Snap-On look even more like a piece of crap.

M12 Milwaukee studdy is faster then the snap on for all tests in my opinion 12:16 @Shop Tool Reviews

Milwaukee warranty is not based on cycles like snap-on. It's 2 years on 2.0 and smaller and 3 years on 3.0 and bigger. Milwaukee actually stands behind there warranty and claims better than 1500 charge cycles. Unlike snap-on runs out 1000 no matter how long you had the tool. Then you at the mercy of the truck dealer if they warranty it. With Milwaukee is actually dated coded and ship it to them they fix or replace no questions asked

Whether they're 12 vs 18 doesn't matter. The snap on only has one battery oeriod5. Doesn't need 5 different types like milwaukee..

Milwaukee is 12V, not 18V, half the price, smaller & lighter and oh, more powerful 🤔 Not to mention the M12 platform has a much larger variety of tools then the Snap on 18V. What does snap on even offer

Snap-On should be ashamed of themselves. They need to stick to making hand tools. I can get a Milwaukee 2967 kit with one 5.0 battery, charger, protective boot, 6.0 Forge battery+ Gen 2 stubby kit for $937.99 before any coupons or specials and Snap-On wants $922 for this kit. Now imagine the stubby being able to use an 18v battery. Milwaukee > Snap-On

I can’t even call it close. Milwaukee just slaps snappys ass when it comes to power tools. Hand tools is another story.

How the m18 stubby compare?

I don’t get it why mediocre Snap-On products are so much more expensive?

LET'S GO TJ 🏁

About the third time the battery falls out on the milwaukee you'll wish you had got the Snap On

The new milwaukee is a beast but I think the switch button is stupid, they should of left it

Almost $1k for the Snap-on! 🤦‍♂️

The snap on is way over priced and doesn't even have tri led. What a scam.

Milwaukee for the win

Windows has always been a bit shit. But yeah I use windows 11 and I don't touch the start menu, it is bad

What's with a two year warranty? Why not stick to your lifetime/tool truck service that all the mechanics keep bragging about?

Unless you’re a little OCD and want all your tools to be snap on I don’t see why you would buy snap on over Milwaukee. At least with this tool.

im not saying anyone should buy the snap on now but there is a clear difference on when they were designed. i doubt any mechanic that bought the snap on and has made money with it as a daily use tool regrets it. and yea the is milwaukee better but if you already have something that has long paid itself off i doubt anyone is gonna switch. would be a great impact for someone that is starting out and doesnt have a 3/8 cordless or good pneumatic yet. i love my milwaukee's but i do really wish they just had the compact and big battery as options the one thing i think everyone has to agree with snap on with is 1 battery and forget about it is way better than which battery do i need to make this tool do what it claims. i have tons of milwaukee,snap on,matco and dewalt but what keeps stopping me from buying the new milwaukee tools is you have to buy the new battery with it. if i want the new snap on tool and i already have a kit from before im golden to just buy the tool. but if i want the new high torque i need the new forge battery if i want it to do what it claims. if i want the new stubby i need the new high output battery and it never ends. either way great review as always

Let's not forget the last gen m12 did 500 ft-lbs for Tim, so is the new one really more than double as Milwaukee says? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MfVBFFA6Seg.html

your camera is not focus

I think snapon loses a couple points for having too bulky of the battery.

Snap-on looks like a mid torque compared to the Milwaukee

I can never understand how ppl perform tests, then claim they are both comparable straight to your face. The Power, for the size, FOR THE PRICE, For the warranty. the level of dishonesty is disgusting, have some shame👎

The M12 isn’t really 12v, lust as 20V tools aren’t really 20v, for exactly the same reason. The cells are nominal 3.6v/3.7v each, the M12 uses 3 in series for 10.8v-11.1v, 18v-20v tools use 5 in series for 18-18.5v. Those cells when fully charged and under low-load, will measure ~4v, but they can’t deliver that under any significant load. So, if you measure the voltage with no load, sure, you’ll see 12v or 20v, but you won’t see that under load. That means the WHr capacity of the M12 5v is 54-55WHr, not 60WHr

LOL I like Snap-On ratchets and wrenches and maybe their screwdrivers. Everything else they peddle, especially the power tools, are overpriced and underwhelming. Really though the only reason for Snap-On to exist would be their combo wrench sets. Literally everything else is better purchased from other tool makers.

Milwaukee is better snap on is too beefy with the battery

Milwaukee over crap on any day

I find it crazy how companies can call a tool compact when it still has a huge battery footprint. At a certain point it doesn’t matter how compact the tool is, if it has a giant brick of a battery on the bottom then it’s pointless.

Let me have the m12 stubby gen 2 pls you have plenty

wgf? one over priced fanboi glitter ornament versus another.... yaawwwnnn... smFh

sir im i ok or do i have autism for watching power tools 1v1?

Snap on power tools are ugly they remind me of those old clunky cordless 18 volt dewalt drills that are like 8 pounds

I WILL DEFINITELY WAIT ,,,,,,,,,,,,, ON THE TORQUE TEST CHANNEL BEFORE I DECIDE TO BUY . YOUR WHOLE TESTING PROCESS SEEMS MORE SEAT OF THE PANTS . I REALLY ONLY WATCH THIS CHANNEL JUST TO SEE THE NEW TOOLS FIRST . THANKS THOUGH !!!

Not gonna lie, that snap on is a fat ass stubby. Milwaukee is a compact stubby. Snappy is bottom heavy lol. The rest has been normal, milwaukee has been better for years.

Ill stay with my 9038, no need to change for me

There is an m18 stubby
