Question, what’s the better air hammer? Snap-On or MAC, looking to buy a new one Snap-on gets my vote. I have used a Mac, Snap-on, and Matco. Still use the Mac and Snap-on one and the Matco has been rebuilt twice and doesn't last at ALL. I'll never buy another Matco one

Since we are on air hammers, who uses them to crease? I never have but it has my interest. Be cool to weld a ball hammer on the end of one.

I have a small snap on it works ok I have used better ones but it was only 250$ and its about 5 pounds A transporter I load all the time bought two snap on jump packs, and after neither one of them could jump a car worth a darn he sent them back and got ones that cost half as much and actually work. They wouldn’t jump cars that were completely dead. The 1st one I had wasn't very good I gave it back couple years later I got this one

We got so big ones at work an they work great but they are probably 50 pounds. The one I use to have was the size of a cell phone it worked good but about once a week it would melt the cables

They also make one with a ball peen on the end, but tears more than it helps on body work, works good on frame work tho

Bought one way over priced Snap On hand tool more than 25 years ago. It broke within a week. That happens...no big deal. The rep refused to honor the warranty. That is the day I vowed to never give Snap On another dime. And I haven't.
For half the price, the only things Craftsman has not warranted for me is drill bits and hammer handles, which they call consumable. They even replaced a wrench I modified with a torch. A couple years later, it cracked where I heated it.
The are not the most expensive or the cheapest, not the highest quality and certainly not the worst, but when it comes to bang per dollar, my cordless tools vote goes to Rigid.

I honestly use a ton of harbor freight sockets impact and chrome, don't have much to say other than good. I use snapon mostly at work but the house gets mostly cheap stuff, derby and side work. Their new ratchets are the shit too

Their new ratchets are the shit too Most of my sockets are also harbor freight. With the prices and if you break it bring it back we'll replace it policy, cant beat that. The wrenches and c clamps are soft though. Also, the earthquake XT is a beast as far as an electric impact. Wouldn't be afraid to buy any hand tools there.

The guys on the tool trucks where I work get told the first day a new driver comes, if you don't warranty the tools the bills get paid that day and they don't need to come back. With that we broke a chain wrench using our track loader and skid steer to turn the cap nut on a hydraulic cylinder. The snap on dealer had no problem replacing it.

That happened way back in tech school, so around the Fall of '96. A few days later when the Craftsman Industrial guy came around, he replaced that tool with a Craftsman on their dime, just so he could hang it on his display of "stuff the other guys won't replace". That sold me.

Ive never found a reason to spend the money on snap on, have used it and while they are nice or whatever, the craftsman stuff has worked for me. Have only broken a 1/4" ratchet and they didnt care there was a pipe on it when they replaced it. Electric is all Milwaukee.
