Got a couple new toys from the snapon man

I told myself I was never going to buy anything from the snapon man when he came to our shop... but I couldn't resist this:

18v lithium ion that weighs under four pounds...

it also came with this

18v lithium ion impact... i was able to take lug nuts off a car, and seatbelt bolts off with it.

I'd highly suggest both to anyone that works on cars or installs! It makes shit so much easier having a quality drill. My craftsman doesn't even compare to this makita... best part of all is that it only takes 15min for the batteries to charge.

On a side note... I hate harbor freight, but one of the installers at work said this box is decent... has anyone had any experience with it?

We've got a couple of the Snap-On cordless impacts at our shop, nice little toys. That 18v Makita doesn't look to bad either.

guy at work has one in red... it really isnt that bad for the money. As long as its a ball bearing roller drawers who cares. I was actualy thinking about selling my snap on and picking something like that up and holding onto the extra cash

Yah it seems alot easier to drop $400 than $5000 for a snapon...
