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

We put the new Milwaukee M12 FUEL Gen 2 STUBBY Impact Wrench up against the Snap-on CT9038 18V Stubby Impact Wrench. Even though the voltages may be different, these two juggernauts battle it out to the end. You can get the Milwaukee M12 Stubby for $199 and the Snap-on 18V Stubby hits you for about $433. #impactwrench #milwaukeetool #snapontools

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

[THEBEARDEDTOOLGUY]

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 ...

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.

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 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 👍🏼

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 😆🎁🎅🦌

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!

That snap on is the size of a mid torque

[downup]

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.

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.

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

[donnysanner]

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

[KosmicHRTRacingTeam]

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.

[KjWilliams_]

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!

[FusionKota]

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!

[txvet]

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

[jeromegrunwald]

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
