Snap On, generally pretty good, not quite as grunty as an air one but is good for most jobs other then pulling crank pulleys etc off, just be sure to have a charger handy as the batteries they use generally stay at peak power then just stop, don't kinda slow down like old batteries

Get a good set of ear muffs too. I know a guy who uses a snap-on one & boy is it loud.

You have to watch with some of the very good ones. They can rattle so fast that a torque extension won't work properly and you can wind up with things much tighter than expected.
The good ones are very good though and the convenience of no cord is fantastic.

so far the deals I have been offered is a wurth 1/2 inc for $699+gst with 2 year warranty and one battery Unit is 610nm. The Milwaukee is 610nm for $799incl gst. But comes with two battery's with two year warranty on the battery's and 6 year warranty on the unit.

The Wurth branded actually are Milwaukee.
And Wurth promise the same guarantee. I think under warranty Wurth will sen you a new battery on an overnight courier where possible. Before they even receive the faulty battery.

Yeah i herd that about the wurth regarding the branding. I spoke to the rep and they said he couldn't offer the 6 year warranty on the unit.

Oh well, for an extra $100 . The Milwaukee sounds better.
Just out of interest, who is the supplier!
As that can make a lot of difference if any warranty issues come up.

I've never heard of Hector Jone's until I just Googled them, and they look like a good company.
Go for it, I say.
And in a way, shame on Wurth NZ for not being to match the deal.

yeah 2 battery's is a bonus but 6 year warranty is the big draw card.

What's the advantage to having one, if you already have compressed air in the workshop!
dent,

No need to have a air line with you or tangling up. Can take off site if need to. Oftern more grunty than air.

No tripping over the air line and the air line getting caught up on stuff. Less noise of the compressor cutting in and out and no hiss of that leaking air coupling. I have air in the workshop and an excellent Ingersoll Rand gun and a big compressor, however I find my Snap-On battery gun gets used 9 out of 10 times even in the workshop, I??

I'm in the market for one at the moment and the Milwaukee one is meant to be the pick of the bunch. Hector Jones are a good company to deal with too.
