We Accidently Kill a Viewer's Impact: Snap On's New Compact vs Matco

Our live rank list has moved! torquetestchannel.etsy.com Check out our T-shirt Shop: bit.ly/3z98ryF and amazon store (that only includes winners): amzn.to/3rjhZ6P Why the socket size difference? PT338 is a 3/8" impact. We had 3/8" custom sockets made for this huge bolt, they couldn't make us a deep. On these two sockets, the difference is less than 5ft-lbs. As socket size decreases the difference % goes up. We have 2 episodes on it. Also at 2:21 you see a 3/8" anvil swapped compact being dyno'd vs its 1/2" anvil using these two different sockets. So that dyno graph shows the difference.The newest stubby on the market Snap-On's PT338 goes up against Matco's big dog stubby MT2765 to find out who is the big purse powerhouse, with at least one fatality along the way. See if our emergency resuscitation is effective on this weeks impact episode!

Believe it or not, the socket sizes here make no real difference! See 2:21 for how much this same *3/8" socket vs the 1/2" deep socket* used in this video effects power on the same impact (at this bolt size). Weighted sockets and smaller bolts are a different story of course. Our live ranking list was taken down on us, so its new home is now here: etsy.me/3G8j3QK.

Anvil size might not but socket size, thickness, and weight does. The socket on the snap on is shorter, thinner, lighter. Per impact it bounces back more compared to the heavier 1/2in drive socket that has a much more positive impact.

It's really really great, other than the volume. It's honestly my go-to impact, been using it as a daily with a swivel for a few years now. Going to be buying another just as a backup in case I can't get a rebuild kit should I need it. I end up using it in all sorts of weird spots where I never would have thought you could fit in impact, so much that the paint is basically completely gone. You can wedge and jam it in anywhere, but it's still go the torque to bust lugnuts all day. I love it for the pump rebuilds I have to do, I'm up on a stand 8 feet in the air so small and light is good, and I have about 30 1/2" bolts to deal with, and a couple 300ft/lb wedge bolts that it zips off every time.

I realize this is an old video and this comment probably wont be seen but I work in a heavy diesel fleet shop and have the big brother to the Matco stubby the MT2779 and your results with that gun are astonishing because if it runs the same way as the MT2779 your results in reverse would have been with the gun set to low torque, can't say anything on behalf of the Snap-on because I don't have any Snap-on air guns. But on my MT2779 you have to twist the power dial to the left or "low" when you put it in reverse to get full beans which is counter intuitive as it is not marked on the back of the tool but the difference on my gun in free speed RPM and effect on a rusted up fasteners is night and day. Anyway keep up the good work, always look forward to the videos and its nice having someone give these things an honest test against whatever pie in the sky numbers that a marketing dept wanted to print on a box.

A "tip" I'll tell you about the Snap On PT338 and PT350. The motor cylinder has a screw that attaches it to the rear motor plate. This screw comes loose and the tool loses power very quickly. Dab a little lock tight on the screw and torque to about 8-10 inch pounds and the tool will run the way it was ment to run.

New to the channel. I'm enjoying it. Maybe a question and answer that has been discussed, but the readings are from a clamp force test. I get that a torque test instrument/dyno is expensive and useful for nothing else. But a torque test measures rotational force. Your clamping force on load cells has losses in the stretch and vibration of the bolt and friction loss in the 90° directional change and drag between the threads of the bolt and plate. Roughly a 20-25% loss. Your test is very applicable and more cost effective to build. Might help people understand the guns are actually more powerful than the clamp reading. Sorry if already discussed.

@TorqueTestChannel 2 жыл бұрын

All of that becomes irrelevant once calibrated with a coefficient. Once a known value makes a known value everything is good to go. See episode one. Being repeatable is all that's needed. These guns aren't rated for rotation torque. They are rated for bolt tightness. Not like an engine.

Imo there are 4 possibilities. 1. The trigger gets stuck in a pushed in position , most of the times it's caused by grime , dust and other things getting in the trigger. 2. The opening mechanism itself got stuck in the open position from grime.... 3. Something mechanical broke which should stop the air from going into the impact. 4. The trigger itself broke So easiest thing to try would be to take it apart and try cleaning it You are gonna have to take it apart either way , so while it's taken apart , check parts for any damage which may cause it to not shut off.

I have a decade old AWP050 compact. Can you break that one and send it back better than ever? I love that thing. 😁

I have the 3/8" MG gun I think it's the MG325 from Snap-on and I kept on sending it back as it was gutless in forward. I got into an argument with my dealer saying they should port it. The forward reverse bias on Snap-on tools is anoying so I don't buy them.

Snap-on air tools are psi whors but since shops regularly run at 150-180 psi it isn't really a problem. Air tools should be designed to run best at shop pressure if they are made for professionals interested of DIYers.

@Torque Test Channel. You guys should build (or order) 2 custom rotors. One aluminum and one lead (or iron). Just because 😂. Also, you should drill a whistle into a rotor like the nerf vortex. Make that baby whistle real good haha.

@TorqueTestChannel 2 жыл бұрын

The rotor's end shaft is what drives the hammer case, aluminum and lead would turn into easy cheese very quick! And cast iron would fracture

the low-end in the snapon makes it the better tool like turbo engines, torque overpowers many others with more power

Some of the Matco guys I’ve hear say turn the dial down in reverse and it makes more power somehow, doesn’t make sense but wonder if that can be tested

@legros731 2 жыл бұрын

Possible maybe the dial go to far and go pass the edge of the hole effectively reducing the air flow volume So it's bad tolerance or sloppy manufacturing

Great video,since you work for astro had you heard of any matco guns comming in for that problem before this video or was this a first?

@TorqueTestChannel 2 жыл бұрын

Astro doesnt make this gun, so they wouldn't be the MAIN repair center for it. But no, all the stubby Matco guns they've seen are for traditional reasons. Some of them needing a tune up for more power, but not like killing itself due to friction like this one.

I had a thought while watching this about the Snap-On tool. I'm wondering if the increase in number of vanes causes an effect that looks similar to a lower displacement engine because the distance between vanes is smaller. That would explain why they went with a larger diameter rotor if true. They would do that to compensate for the lower torque from this design by increasing the diameter at which the torque is applied. Honestly I don't understand what the thought process was from an engineering standpoint on this design because it's clearly starving for air at normal lower pressures. I guess like with a high revving, low displacement engine, you could get the same results with gearing it properly, but the problem with that is that these air tools don't have any gearsets like the cordless tools do. Weird that they did this.
