For 8 years we worked side by side.

Sorry for the graphic images. Rest in pieces my friend. *fp edit* Snap on guy said this particular model was only warranted for 5 years, replacement is on the way and will update with more info as time permits. Yet another edit: https://imgur.com/gallery/tdEtlyY

idk if you can solder it back in place, anyway, RIP.

So how much p-blast did you use before this happened anyway and you determined that the bolt is now permanent?

If you are willing to part with it for a good cause, Ave would probably do a glorious autopsy.

I was gonna say weld that crack shut and keep on keeping on, but I like the idea of letting Ave tear into it too.

Check out Milwaukee 2863-22. 1,400 ft lbs torque from a cordless tool. It’s a monster.

Cordless tools have their use, but replacing a corded one with a cordless one just for the heck of it is not a good idea.

Show me a corded 1/2 impact wrench with 1,400 ft lbs. then you can talk

This isn't warrantied? For a $23,000 dollar tool I would assume its got a warranty. It looks fixable though.

SnapOn is so expensive because they know they're gonna sell to a lot of people that won't keep up on their payments and keep the tools

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

$23K? Are you fuc... well, it's a snap-on...

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I looked on snapon.com and did not find any pneumatic wrenches above $1,800. Most are around $600. I think you have an extra zero.

If the internals are okay you could probably take that to your local welding shop and have them fix it.

You can bet the snap on truck will stop by today to sell you a new one and a bunch of other tools you didn’t know you needed.

But you do need them. Snap On is a damn good brand, imo. So what if I use the tool.for one very specific thing on one piece of equipment

When I worked for T/A I bought my tools at Sears or Harbor Freight. I refused to pay Snap-On prices for basic tools.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 2

My SO is a mechanic, and when I asked why he pays such high prices he says it's because they replace his broken parts if he buys from them.

Not a valid excuse anymore. Craftsman, Kobalt, Gearwrench, and even Harbor Freight have lifetime warranties on their hand tools.
