Are you using one? What do you think? Have you used the Snapon battery ratchet? Can you compare?

I have the m12 1/4" ratchet, 3/8" impact, and 1/2" M18 impact. I love them all. I got rid of all of my air tools to make the move over to power and I'm glad I did. No more noise, smaller footprint with no compressor, and I can bring them everywhere.
I also have an m12 90* drill for PDR work and the standard M18 drill.
I don't have any experience with the snap on stuff since the only tool I can afford that they sell is my pocket screw driver.
I use mine all the time, every day for the past 18months in a mobile equipment environment, very compact and most of the time quite dirty. I truly couldn’t go without it. It’s been reliable and a solid tool . I have the first gen series, and use it with a 2 a/hr battery.
I don’t have experience with the snap on so I can’t help you there, but I find it bulkier which is no help to me.
I have the Milwaukee 3/8" and the Snap-On 1/4". They're both great tools, but the Milwaukee seems to have 95% of the Snappy's performance for half the cost. The Milwaukee batteries are MUCH better, as well. Longer run time, faster charging, and cheaper to replace. The Snap-On has an anvil brake, the Milwaukee doesn't.
They've got the 2nd gen Fuel ratchets out now, and I think I'll be replacing the Snap-On with one of those when I inevitably break the anvil off again. :evil:
I had the old Milwaukee 3/8 ratchet and it was decent but I upgraded to the new 1/4 and 3/8 cordless ratchets and they are very very good. I would get the newer versions they are highly recommended.
