mvusse Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I bought a Kawasaki 21.6V cordless drill for $50 at Sam's club last year. Worked for about 3 hours before the speed control burned up. I threw it in the trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I've got an 12v Snap-On cordless impact. My dad gave it to me a few years ago when he bought a new one. It's about 10 years old and still works great. My buddy bought one from HF and it lasted him about 6 months, and wouldn't hold a charge. I've the the dewalt 18v and thats a great gun too. You get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get what you pay for. i've got the 14.4v snap-on 3/8" impact and its brilliant, battery lasts for a week getting beat on daily (mechanic) and i use it for everything. my boss bought the same gun i have at the same time (2 or so years ago) and he slapped an 18v battery on it and its zinging REAL good now. his'll break stuff! i don't need the extra juice, but just shows it'll take it if you can dish it out.

oldrusty Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I have a 18 volt Snap On 1/2 impact and its the cats behind....lol. Had it about 8 years now and the battery is finally starting to give up. Gun still works great but the battery won't hold a charge.....A new battery from snap on is about $140.00 and I considered just watching for one on ebay, but I could have used it 3 times this week already. Guess the snap on man is gonna get a little extra from me this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWLONGSHOT Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 Well, I am a bit concerned.. but at 70 bucks its not awful and don't forget this place always has good stuff @ half or LESS. SO don't judge just by cost alone... You all know I'm a big proponent of you get what you pay for...so time will tell.. I did use it tonight... I drained and changed the rear diff oil and checked the lug nuts on three jeeps... found the fronts on the MJ a bit loose. It was able to remove the tightest nut I found... SO, so far so good... Online reports don't say anything really bad...not mike RYOBI stuff... CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you you can get the case open you should find sub C size cells/batteries inside,the same ones used in RC cars. just pick up some off ebay or a hobby shop and solder them in. yours should be 2400mah but you can go bigger for more run time.
