On the fuels I have been hearing motor failures in them. Thats honestly the brand I was looking at first due to expandability.
Honestly I own a ton of Snapon tools but I have yet to be fond of their cordless tools. Milwaukee out performs them almost everywhere.
True but why not just save up for a week. I can wait for it if it means getting a better product.
I have an ingersoll-rand 1/2" 18v (I think) lithium. Love it, only paid ~$530
I have the Snap on 18V, the IR 20v, and the Milwaukee Fuel M18's
The IR might have a bit more muscle than the other two, but the battery is a little better on the Milwaukee. The snap on is a snap on...high priced, but good...I bought it cheap when a guy needed money. Same with the IR.
Buy whichever you have more tools to use the batteries for.
