Looking for a good power tool repairer

[ChasesDragons]

Hi all,
My bootiful Snap On impact driver's charger has dies on me

The Snappy people have looked at it and decided it cannot be fixed and want to sell me a new charger for about £50.00.

Do any of you guys and girls know of someone who might be able to fix this charger for me? I am beginning a Land Rover tear-down and could really do with this expensive piece of kit working! I have only used it about 6 hours max!

Thanks.

Don't snap on have a life time garrantee?

Not their electrical stuff, it seems. To be honest, a bit disapointed with S-O stuff. They do look good and feel good, but it seems the cost lies in the name rather than capability.

A lot of the Snap on stuff is ridiculously priced. Good stuff, but you pay for the name.

Still baffles me why anyone would pay $6900US for a tool cabinet with no tools. I see them come up on Craig's list and they still try to get $3-4k.

I'd check ebay for a used one.

We have had a few of them. A lot depends on the dealer and how well you know them
Usually get cracking trade in on old snappy powertools.

Electric tools arn't guaranteed for more than a year iirc, and air tools, are a year or two.

Is it the new 18volt jobbie?

No, its a CT30 model (9.6V, I think, not anywhere near it right now). The worst thing is I must have used it about 20 times over an year and recharged it about 5 times, about 4 years ago! It had always been stored in the house, in its case.

So much for tough kit.
