Snap On's New "Milwaukee Killer" is the Most Expensive High Torque You Can Buy: CT9080 

Try the Milwaukee 2763 it is much smoother than the 2767!

Try and test the bauer 3/8 impact wrench

Didn't snap on have trouble undoing 450ft/lbs of torque and lost to the 12volt impact wrenches from Milwaukee/Dewalt?

I agree with US making the design... THAT'S WHY THEY CALL IT .US TOOLS. BUT ALL THE PARTS ARE MADE ALL OVER THE WORLD . TAIWAN ,CHINA AND THE BOX AND LABEL MANU 🏷️ ARE FROM USA.. TO MEET SAFETY STANDARDS...

@@dieseldabz7104 make it clear is being designed over here in United States America .. that's why they say:: MADE IN AMERICA ..

Hand tools, I still respect snap on. Power tool though, I'd have to pass

Agreed. My dad is an experienced mechanic and he works out of an old craftsman toolbox he got on sale at sears. The box is probably 20 years old and still holds tools just fine. He did invest in some snap on pneumatics that have finally started to show their age (probably nearly 15 years old). Fortunately, I was able to acquire the same sense of value and have a decent set of tools that I procured at rather large discounts by going second hand or simply understanding the type of quality I need for weekend work.

30 year old tech here, where were you 4 years ago when I got on tht damn truck for the first time.... Snap on is garbage on there electric stuff! Have em all and they ALL died right after warranty! Junk!!

@@masterxiong7368 the tolerances on my snapon wrenches make every other tool look like a fucking joke lol and yesh I break my snapon sockets more than the Chinese I use everyday but same as the wrenches they fit just perfect and that feel...

Milwaukee forever sir.

Snap on has about a 50% profit margin on their tools, so there is that

@@dieseldabz7104 not in a lot of cases

@@dieseldabz7104 Not when it comes to battery powered equipment.

@@dieseldabz7104 absolutely not the case. As a professional diesel technician with over $65,000 in tools and tools from all the big manufacturers, my money goes to mac tools hands down for pretty much everything but power tools, which my money then goes to milwaukee.

Smart man

10% more power for 3x the price.

I can agree and if I need mo power I will and have gotten the 3/4 impact and or the 1 in impact and have the high power batteries to power them already.

@dieseldabs Is the extra 60~70 foot lbs you get from a strap on worth the extra 600+ dollars that you are gonna pay for it? At that price point I would at least expect a better warranty.

@@masterglaizer5918 I love having ONE way overpriced battery for my Snap On that literally does nothing else but power my Snap on impact. Huge waste of money for my shop.

For sure it kills your wallet.

@@tj4683 But, to SnapOffs credit, they've put together a racket that leads to people actually choosing to buy their MASSIVELY overpriced junk, and that's one hell of an achievement to pull off. It's like they've almost created a 'pay day loan' kinda brutal service, except for mechanics lol. Even the other tool trucks often don't hit SO prices, yet people are STILL buying the damn stuff!

@@RyTrapp0 very true, snap on tool boxes are disgustingly expensive, some guys spend more on those setups than on the diesel truck they drive

@@RyTrapp0 you obviously don't have a really good snap on dealer do you? I know its expensive but damn I can get all my tools replaced for free except for power tools which all you have to do is send it off for $125 if it ever tears up outside of the warranty and then you have a brand new snap on tool again. Pay once cry once...

@@roylowery1329 last Milwaukee tool I had fail on the job I had a Milwaukee rep reach out to be from a RU-vid comment and over night the tool with return shipping for the broken one. They have some pretty good customer service in my experience.

And a 1/4 of the warranty

This exactly snap on was finally barely able to beat Milwaukee at 3 times the price and 5 years later.

And SIGNIFICANTLY larger too

Milwaukee is made in Vietnam where the average factory worker makes $1.34 per hour. In the US the average factory worker makes almost $24. The tool is assembled in the US but the anvil, hammer, case are made 100% in the US. Batteries and ESC are made in Asia. I think the brushless motor might be US too.

How long before you think it'll let the smoke out? I'll bet right after it's crappy warranty expires!

Milwaukee is just tough nothing better

I'm a high horsepower diesel mechanic (19-95 liter engines) and I've had the Milwaukee 1/2" high torque for 3 years with no noticeable loss in power.

@@estebanchavarin143 alot is better

I’ll continue using my Makita when your Milwaukee is in the shop for one of its numerous repairs.

@@cowboy3490 I have both snap on and Milwaukee. Only complaint is I’m always going through my Milwaukee batteries only getting about 5-6 months on my impacts have had my ingersoll rand w7150 when they first came out and it’s still going strong with the same 2 batteries it came with

Yeah I bet that 3/4 Milwaukee would have taken the honda bolt off...

It really is unbalanced to hold i think, me and a lad i work with both agreed first time it got thrown at us on the truck. If your working with a large, deep impact socket on the nose it would only make it worse i feel

@@Mis73rRand0m Or the Makita one. Either way they're both really impressive tools

I have the 2864-2 and can confirm that it’d eat this thing alive

There r a bunch of idiots that will buy. But not me!!!!

You should check out the weighted socket episode, very cool stuff

Honda mechanic here. A Lisle weighted socket is a must. The weighted Lisle socket, along with a 6.0 amp battery and my Milwaukee M18 2767 high torque have taken off 51 Honda crank bolts so far. The Lisle weighted socket is 100% needed. It only cost about $22 so its super cheap for what you are getting.

@@Speed00007 thank you for sharing this knowledge

That’s the exact type of first hand knowledge that I enjoy hearing. Tool brand loyalty doesn’t mean dick when the actual answer is in the technique of solving the problem.🤘🏻👍

@@Speed00007 I wanted one but no one local had one and I had to get wife's grocery getter back on the road so I couldn't wait for mail order.. Sometimes, mothers are the mothers of invention, haha.

It’s not too expensive, you’re just too poor

you gotta love China.. or thats how it would be .

I'll just sell my limbs on the black market to pay it off. Easy

@@robbiethornhill634 or just smart.... On not spending more for something that's bigger than a 1 inch gun 😂🤣🤣🤣

Some of this depends on what kind of relationship you have with a tool man and will he cover you on the warranty, my Cornwell guy covered me, so I bought a torque multiplier (pneumatic) and now the Milwaukee has it easy just running the nuts.

What here is made in America?

@@iampotates The Snap-On is claimed to be made in America with foreign sourced parts.

@@sixtyfiveford the anvil, hammer, case etc are all made in the US including the brushless motor. All the materials, machining, heat treating etc are US sourced. The battery and ESC are made in Asia.

@@sixtyfiveford ah so it's assembled in USA with global components. Not sure why the couldn't specify that instead of implying everything is sourced, made and assembled here. Plenty of companies state assembled in USA with global components so it's a pretty well known phrase even in the power tool and hand tool realm. Honestly I don't really care where things are made I do prefer American made but I'm not going to seek it out specifically but there are people that do and this is disingenuous marketing.

ThankYou For weighing in on this. You & TTC. South Main Auto ,JDTCo. All are 💯%er ❤️🏴‍☠️🎥💯%👍🏻 👌

Check out our Snap-On MG725 episode where we take the muffler out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mdneet_0T1Y.html

I mean removing a muffler from an impact that normally has one.

Well, I'm betting that their hearing is already trashed. I like quiet in tools, and ear plugs. I don't want to need hearing aids when I'm 60.

@@yamomsahoe Correction, it's this episode. The other Snap-On impact we take the muffler out of: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mdneet_0T1Y.html

@@jonnda what ? ?

It’s pretty common knowledge that snapon tool have a 40% markup.. so in reality people are paying $950 for a $570 tool

That's all great until this time next year when it goes in for service and it's obsolete, and they offer you 50 bones towards the new and improved

Thank you for mentioning it. Now I feel better about my recent purchase of a CT9080XCE 😎

I'm with ya there. I am a field service tech and I don't need extra chargers cluttering up my service truck. I have 1 charger that plugs into a cigarette lighter outlet and it charges the 12V batteries along with the 18V batteries. That leaves more room for tools.

I agree I have tools from every company including companies that don’t exist anymore I myself bought what I liked more than anything else but with cordless I’m all dewalt I only work on my own cars now so I buy the dewalt stuff and just added the high torque 1/2” but haven’t tried it yet but I have all the batteries for it I did add the Milwaukee 12v cordless ratchet though. My son talked me into the new 1/2” he loves it I still was pulling out my compressor and using my 25 year old IR 1/2” it’s never let me down!

Yeah, I don't have any special bonds towards a truck tool, but I'm happy see it's not a repackaged copy of an existing tool for double the price.

Speed00007 it’s not actually any larger than milwaukees offering. I have both and the Snap-on is definitely a beast. But it does come with that Snap-on price tag.

@@bulygoat It does deliver the beans and at the end of the day thats all that matters.

Agreed however longevity is a huge problem for snap on battery impacts in my experience and when im giving them abuse 10 hrs a day 6 days a week I think ill keep my milwaukee even if I do have to cable tie the battery to the gun to stop it wobbling and cutting out 👍

@@georgedawson235 interesting... I work on mining equipment and the milwakees are always breaking and the turn around time for repairs is terrible. We got all new Snap-On 9080s and so far so good. Only time will tell. I know millwakee also stopped warranty certain batteries regardless if they're under warranty or not( it's on their website).

Lisle LIS-77080 works great for me, it was a game changer when it came out!

I laughed at this . It really does

Congratz on the purchase Robert!

Thats been a known thing for a very very long time

Lol they would shear the plate the test gear is mounted to.

Nice!

I mean, this one might be overpriced, but it didn't "provide less power."

Snap On has turned into the Apple of tools

Well the CEO, CFO, COO, CO?, and COC need those yachts, Bugatti's, and 10k square foot summer homes. You can't expect them to give that up just so they can pay a decent wage and have their tools made in America. Just because they were able to do that for years with corporate tax rates above 50% doesn't mean they can do that now and afford to bathe in puppy dog tears and virgin blood.

it has the most power

@@sparks2429 I’ve had several Androids, all garbage compared to my iPhones. Switched and never looked back

Since I was already on the M18 & M12 platform, that's all I get. Don't want more than two battery platforms. Plug in stuff, I pick the most cost effective, not loyal to any brand there.

@@phillipsofthedriver true!

Your 1/2" air impacts are making more torque?

Unfortunately air can’t go everywhere I can pack my battery powered stuff to the bone yard easier than the air compressor trailer and all of the tools that come with it

I have gone to alot of sites that legit don't have enough air power to run a 1 inch impact or have alot of water in their lines. I just pack my 3/4 milwaukee impact and it has never let me down yet. There are times where yes I need to run the 1 inch impact and we have to run it for a hot second to get the job done but most times my cordless milwaukee gets the job done. Honestly it's a toss up. Just depends on where your at or have access to air or not

Those old timers aren't used to the new style tools and their tendencies to grenade sockets. So yeah, help it all you want!

for the left money you can buy whole range of 3/4 impact sockets too :D

@@simasm.9757 That's what reducers are for.

@@Kevin-gb9ux just be sure to get a good one that will hold up....I can recommend the SNAP ON reducer.

@@cameronduff884 I've used snap on impact, matco impact, husky impact, craftsman chrome, harbor freight chrome and impact. Some go a good while before they break, but they all eventually snap. Would like to see them tested. I use them all the time.

Double the price, and half again the size! Plus the premature ejaculation of it's smoke!

Problem with the ridgid he's showing here is that finding the 3ah octane batteries is very difficult. And he did show on the Ridgid high torque episode, those are the batteries their high torque gun likes the best.

I've got two nines and two threes☝️

"I have a top end snap on box filled with snap on hand tools" but.. why

@@chrishayes5755 if you dont know, you wouldnt get it.

@@Slicko316 Well said and very true. Lot of Snap On hate here. Plenty of things on that truck I wouldn’t buy. Plenty I wouldn’t give up or trade for anything either…..wrenches being the first.

@@tebo2770 love my Snap-on Flank Drive plus wrenches. Their cordless tool are just meh, but I bought them because at the time my job would pay for them to be refurbished. I think its a $129 fee to have them completely refurbished. I got mine refurbushed every year. But now I'd go Milwaukee.

@@Jackmerius_Tacktheretrix Honestly, I have an amazing driver. He has typically not charged me to put head kits in my electric ratchets which is the only thing I ever have go out. So, to me…The BIGGEST part of buying from snap on is my driver. Couldnt care less about the brand name or any of that. I pay what I pay to support an amazing local guy who gives his all and then some to help us week in and week out.

from our side we are doing hard mechanic, and we really abuse them, inside outside winter, dusty dry summer ( live in a rural sandy place in Quebec )... Dewalt was doing the job but was not sturdy enough, cracked plastic etc etc, milwaukee was good enough got some trouble and a long waiting time with the warranty, then it happens again, makita was pretty much the best bang for bucks overall and are still running strong very tough that is my remark! for snap on we got 75% of our big tools from them, price is ridiculous, but the performance is there without always being the best, they are well built and survive the roughness of my grand father and the weather, the service from snap on is really nice and fast ( depends the guy you trade with) warranty is strong, batteries are still running after 5 years and fits with the new ones so for my perspective if you run these daily and really need them snap on do suits us better and makita. milwaukee is still the best performance/cost wise but depending of your seller, warranty can be a pain and really bugs us, and the tools were less tough from what we saw!

Lol I just saw that thing fly out

I think it was just air from the motor blowing some debris across the table.

Best comment I’ve read in the entire comment section! 🙌🏻

I love getting a milwaukee and a year down the road the batteries fall out everytime you tilt it.. thats my favorite part..

New 40v makita

Yep. Was at Home Depot tonight, and I could buy 3 Milwaukee guns, (not that you would need 3) and STILL have beer & pizza money left!!! There’re $299 for the bare tool.

You can buy 3 Milwaukee's for one of those highway robbery priced Strap On

I think even if it was twice as good or maybe even 50% it would be worth it for some high end users but it’s shit

@@mattkaplan1316 - True!!! I use snap - on hand tools as a mechanic, but there’s no way in hell i’m paying $1,000 for something SLIGHTLY better than a $300 tool, when I already own Milwaukee tools, and batteries.

@@chesterswingjr9796 Exactly. Their hand tools are the best but damn expensive but they can't hope to compete with a company that exclusively sells power tools. Snap on shouldn't even bother making power tools.

I was going to mention that as well. Snap On has absurd prices and we can all agree on that, but most of us rarely ever pay retail unless it’s small stuff. Drivers are pretty good about dealing great discounts. I only mention this because the price of this tool gets constantly mentioned over and over and over throughout.

@@tebo2770 exactly dude, it seems like two out of three comments here are commenting on $$$ lol this is The Torque Test Channel not the Best Price Channel!!!

How do Milwaukee got killed

@@JeremyBrightenburg when your tool costs 250 bare and loses marginally to a tool that costs twice as much, I’ll save my extra 250 and get the Milwaukee. They didn’t get killed they proved what everyone thought snapon already was, a rip off

I’m really hoping you didn’t pay for that one yourself, that sounds like a case of drinking the punch at church and watching the preacher fly off in his new jet

@@alexmills1329 lol no, my boss did... the total cost of the Snap-On "mid torque", 2 5aH batteries, and a charger was almost $1,000 after tool truck markup and taxes. All my power tools are Milwaukee. Edit: to be fair, he got it in neon orange, so you can spot it from a mile away on a cloudy day

The thing with the mid size and compact 18V Snap-On's is no one that owns one is really all that willing to see it on here against all the others. And there's no way we're dropping that coin for the performance we're expecting, for now. We'd rather spend your guy's $ on stuff that might be awesome.

@@TorqueTestChannel fair enough, thanks for the reply!

@@TorqueTestChannel Maybe ​ @Koon Trucking or ​ @Justin Dow can send you some of their Snap-on impacts to see how they perform.

I'm unsure if a 1/2" anvil would survive, but it would be hard to not call it the top dog in 1/2" that's for sure. Of course that's if the 1/2" anvil brings the same force as the 3/4"

@@TorqueTestChannel I assume it would based off of seeing how your testing went with 3/8 and 1/2 inch went. But yeah I can definitely see how at these power levels a small anvil probably wouldn’t be long for this world. It will be pretty crazy to see if all these tools start to plateau due to maxing out the material properties of a forged anvil.

@@TorqueTestChannel I've got an angle grinder and a torch. I'm sure I could make it 1/2"! Temper that bad boy back up, what could go wrong?

@@-tr0n do itttt!!!

And Milwaukee doesn't prematurely ejaculate it's smoke out!

i have a ct9080 and i think you made the right choice. i love mine but the price difference isnt necessary if you’re working at stuff around the home

Assembled in USA with motors, controllers, and bodys made in china. For 4 times as much, drinking the Snap-On koolaid hard.

You used to be able to say that about Milwaukee as well. The batteries and electronics for snap on are made in China like everybody else. Which is very unfortunate and a sign of the times

@@michaelmcgregor3108, you're 100% right. I was shocked when I found out Milwaukee wasn't made in the USA.

We did the week it came out!

@@TorqueTestChannel Nice! You guys always beat me to the punch haha. Thanks!

Ive had my 2767 milwaukee for 5 years and its still going strong. I cant say snap on is very impressive for me

I got this gun yesterday, it's a beast. Have yet to find something it won't take off.

I have the dewalt too, and the Milwaukee does seem to hit plenty harder. But the yellow stuff lasts way longer

@@taylor2105 the batteries hate life but the impact itself has lasted a long time now
