 So one of the biggest disputes we have right now in the automotive scene is the dispute between air powered or Battery powered so today fighting back for the air powered tools is going to be this SP tools Mini impact gun we're going to go through this one today and show you guys just how awesome it is to start using air again As if this video wasn't going to be cool enough already. We're going to be thrown in giveaway. That's right Just as in the description, we're going to be giving away one of these tools You guys need to make sure you pay attention all the way to the end of the video I'll be going through all the rules for the giveaway contest I for one have not been one of those guys to keep my viewpoints hidden And I have definitely been a proponent for the switch over from pneumatic to electric tools in the most recent past You guys see have seen my videos on the Milwaukee and the snap-on electric impacts Definitely a bunch over the last couple of months But a lot of guys have been pointing out some of the drawbacks to those some of those newer Electrical tools now our battery life They has been going up and that's been one of the biggest points of switching over from pneumatic to electrical Is the batteries and the lifespan of them and being able to use them for a better amount of time? That has helped out a lot and that's what killed the electric impacts of The say 5-10 years ago now we're coming into a new day and age where the electric impacts are definitely catching up But here's the big but fighting back the pneumatics are coming out with a lot better Technology and one of the big technologies right these days is going to be the use of mini or stubby impacts Today, we're going to be showing you guys the use of the SP tools SP 1141 Be mini half-inch impact wrench So this impact is standard Held in your hand looks like just a stubby impact now looking at this one It's actually really really small at only 3.6 inches of length from back to the stub of the nose. This thing is super small Comparable one is going to be kind of like in the Matco range Matco has come out with some newer technology in there Pneumatic sector and they've come out with some stubby stuff So has asked your pneumatic and a couple of other vendors But none of them are really coming up to be as short as this one at least not the ones that I've put my hand So this one has the impact to go along with it This thing has all the balls that you guys would imagine and hope for out of a half-inch impact Stuffed into what would be normally a three-eighth stubby Size the frame of this one is Definitely a small frame and the weight on this one is what really makes this thing fight back for the pneumatic powered tools This one's only coming in at two point nine five pounds less than three pounds For an impact gun that's able to put out 715 foot pounds of torque That's going to be the bust away torque the constant reverse torque on this one is going to be right at 520 foot pounds of torque Forward we've got 310 max and it is fully adjustable as well here on the back We're going to get into a little bit of a zoom in here of this one It does have four selections on both forward and reverse three numbers, but for selections one two three four Four max forward and one two three four four max reverse as well This one has all the goodies you really want to it and does not have to be Worrying about all the battery life and everything on top of that Now before we get into the hands-on portion of this one, let's talk about price point now when we're comparing this to the electric tools There's a whole lot more factors that you kind of have to put into it Both the cost of the tool you've got the cost of the batteries You've also got a cost of a charger the batteries on the newer tools Yes, they do have a lot better life than they did, you know say five or ten years ago But they still do have a life expectancy on them Nowadays guys they purchase these tools, but they don't use just those batteries for that tool They buy multiple tools that use the same battery line So those batteries are getting used across two three maybe even four tools in the shop throughout the day Put back on the charger and go they go through the cycles these lithium ion batteries They only have so many good cycles in them So you may only get usually in my circumstance on the kind of shop that I work that I use I'm getting about a year maybe a little bit over a year in the newer lithium ion batteries I have gone through one or two of my Milwaukee ones already So that's only been about 10 months worth of running each of these batteries You know you get between the Milwaukee ones or the snap-on ones the snap-on ones are running like right at 90 95 bucks. So just under a hundred dollars for a battery So when you're talking about price point you definitely have to factor that in going between electric or pneumatic Now the cost difference of say the matco version of this Which also is a little bit heavier a little bit larger and does not have quite the impact that this one does have Matco one these days is running right at 350 bucks right now on sp tools This one's going to cost you a hundred bucks less than that 250 bones So enough of my gibbering and jabbering and blabbering. Let's see this thing in use So for the full use of this half inch mini impact today, I've got set up for you guys Here in the shop. We have a 2016 ram pro master 3500 they're front wheel drive. They have really big front axles This fan has approximately 80 000 miles on it and I'm removing the transmission So to remove the transmission, I've got to pull the front axles So the axle nuts on this particular model are 46 millimeter nuts Now they are tagged in and notched with a little notch into the axle So we have to cut that notch off so we don't damage the end of the axle So you'll see in the video after I remove the little notch We're going to use the stubby mini impact here to remove those 46 millimeter nuts Now what kind of a socket am I going to be using? Actually, I'm going to be using a snap on 46 millimeter impact socket The weight on this socket is three pounds 13 and a half ounces So the socket the actual 46 millimeter socket weighs more than this 2.95 pound stubby impact Let's see how this one fares up to the big 46 millimeter nuts on this pro master So now who thinks that that little half inch drive stubby That literally this 46 millimeter socket weighs more than the gun Can take off this nut. How about them apples? This thing is a beast for a tiny little impact gun So did I tell you or did I tell you what this little mini impact has got all the juice that you guys would think about needing In this size of a tool if you guys were thinking about switching over to The electric impact side of the market because the stubbies they just got it going on Well, this one might want to help you think twice about that decision This thing has got all the guts. It's got a great warranty. It's got a one-year fully covered warranty Replacement no questions asked. You send it back to them. They'll either rebuild it or replace it Not a problem. It's very nice very ergonomic very light weight on top of that It's going to be one of the best ones in the market and on top of that It's going to run a hundred bucks less than its leading competitor on the matco side of the field right now So at this point you might be wondering how can I get my hands on one of those half inch mini impact guns?
