My favorite pliers as well. So versatile!

🎄 I also made my first order. I got both 7" and 9" this Christmas.

Those are my go to pliers. They really are that good 👍

These are the only snap-on item I've ever been interested in.

Yep…me too with orange handles. I finally tracked down a truck by asking a friend at a car dealer shop when the Snapon truck came by. I carry my LN46ACF pliers every day and slip on a small piece of plastic tubing on the end to keep from tearing a hole in my pocket as the end is a bit pointy. A good fidget tool for one handed operation. It’s Doc’s fault…he led me down this path.

I couldn't get over the neat $25 shipping Snapon charges for shipping a pair of pliers.

I got the 9" LN47ACF. First Snap-On purchase for me as well. I love em. Working as an electrical apprentice doing commercial install. Close em up and you can use em as an EMT pipe reamer. Open em up and they can deburr/ream the outside of a 3/4" or 1" pipe, and they're perfect for snapping shut the bang-on style pipe supports. First thing I did with them, tho, was pop the hood on my ram and used em to pull back the hose clamp on the ~2" coolant line. First thing I noticed about them is that when you close them up on the narrowest setting, you can actually see the teeth from both sides interlock perfectly...so you know they bite the snot out of whatever you're trying to grab. They've basically replaced the needle nose pliers in my EDC tool kit. They're great.

Nice video, appreciate the shout out! The 7" is a good way to go! It is nice to have something other than Red so you can spot them quickly.

Been trying mine out as a EDC for a couple of weeks now and I love it 🔥🔥🔥

I picked mine up in an eBay auction. Saw them and put $50 not thinking I would get them but I did. Overall I’m pretty happy with my purchase

I have both sizes and the larger ones seem to work better much smoother. these are my go to needle nose for sure!

Merry Christmas from Mexico.🇲🇽. Nice gift you received from Santa 🎅👏

Love the talon grips, but you can't go wrong with any snap on tool. You also get free shipping if you spend $300.

Noooooooo it's all down hill now 😂😂😂

Best pliers ever. Welcome to the SO club

Good information. Little wordy with all the repeat information. Looks like a very useful tool.

What an extraordinary video presentation! - "Success unfolds as an everlasting and evolving adventure.."

Tsunoda and IPS do the coin trick easy

I had to buy mine from ebay to because the wait time was like 9 months. I paid more but I didn't have to wait and bought the pair. I bought them they quickly became my favorite pliers.

I rock the 9" in my pocket for industrial maintenance. Very versatile pliers. I've been beating them up for about a year. For me, the small ones are nice for keeping in my motorcycle tools bag. Good video, MM!

Great pliers. Made me a Snapon fan I had the long ones first then got the shorter I liked them so much Their torch is better than others, Hitting the middle, well same as any other slip joint. Better than my knipex twin grips Pricing? Competitive with knipex and Klein and other good brands. The Icon tools are not cheap, not as expensive. The Snapon and knipex are better than icon/doyle pliers. A couple of dollars for a tool that works better is money well spent. I have icon and Doyle tools I use all the time, they are good tools. I reach for the Snapon and knipex 1st they are a little better whether it’s size range or operational smoothness. Sometimes you need more pliers and the 2nd or 3rd pair which gets less use isn’t as nice in the hand but you don’t care because you don’t use all the time, cheaper is great. I wouldn’t buy a Snapon tool I don’t use frequently. I use pliers all the time.

I got both pairs of Snap-on pliers.👍👍 I am not a pro. I am just a home user. I will also buy the Icon version on sale when it comes out.

Just bought them today. Found a truck at a local dealership. I got 2 sizes. Another joeys fault purchase

Ive been eyeing these for a while.. My first and only snapon purchase so far is one of their hard handle ratcheting screwdrivers. Snapon ratcheting screw drivers are so much better than most others in my opinion.

Years ago I made a pair of these by grinding down an old cheap pair of standard pliers. They were in my back pocket at work for a while but I can't remember why I switched. Now I carry a multitool, pliers wrench, and cobras daily.

I haven't seen a Snap-on tool van for years now. They do have some presence in the UK, but extremely expensive. A lot of tooling is SAE which has lost favour amongst the modern cars on our streets now. If I wanted something from Snap-on it would probably be from their website in the UK. These pliers do look interesting though.

I have both sizes and they feel very different. I really like the 9" pair for tool bag. Honestly they are the best needle needle nose in my opinion. They were my first snap on purchase also. Since, I've bought the 7" wire strippers. I would love to have a pair of the cushion throat flush cutters but the are pricey. Same style as the icons but they hold on to whatever is cut.

I have a lot of Snap-On and Mac from the 80's. I bought all new off the trucks including the Snap-On boxes. They are in my garage as I went down a different path but everything is still in great shape. I only had to rebuild one ratchet. The drawers are still perfect on the boxes. I'm hoping to have everything paid off by 2030. Snap-On joke even back in the day they were expensive but as a young mechanic you didn't care because it was just a weekly payment to the tool truck. I'm going to buy those pliers and also the combo slip joints. I also have the Knipex Twin Grips which I really like.

I've got two pairs of the 7 inch. Absolutely amazing pliers. I've got on in my everyday Veto bag and it is use them everyday! Great Video! Find a Snap-On truck and go shopping. It will be a fun experience! Just bring some cash and enjoy!

👍

I’ve wanted a pair of these for a while, but not willing to drop the money. Even though I have a bunch of Knipex 😂. At SEMA the Harbor Freight demo of the ICON knockoff caught my eye. I was first intrigued with the Snap-On by watching Rainman Ray’s channel and he uses these a bunch. I don’t do a ton of automotive work (although my vehicles have been asking a lot more from me lately) but I can definitely see the uses in other areas. Thanks for the review and Merry Christmas.

So these and the PWCS7ACFG (wire strippers and crimpers) have been staring at me for a while. As they will also be my first Snap-On I’ve ever purchased. Then I had to see them reviewed by you and Last Best Tool. So I prepared for the tongue lashing from my financial manager and ordered both. They have yet to arrive but I wanted to make sure I had accurately given credit to those who led me down this evil path

Of course ICON would come out with a pair. I had a friend that bought a set of 4 ICON snap ring pliers that were cheaper than Knipex. We're elevator mechanics anyways we were taking out about 900 snap rings from a moving walk replacing all the different rollers. He ended up breaking 3 of his snap ring pliers over the course of 4 days. The rest of the time he was using my Knipex. HF replaced them just kind of BS IMO.

I've been eyeballing these since they came out. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before I get some, but I just don't see myself using them any more than my leatherman and/or knipex cobras/plier wrenches that I already carry everyday. Maybe that'd change if I had a pair, but who knows. I certainly wouldn't mind having a pair in the toolbag.

Nice I too got my first snap on tool same version just the larger size and I was going to order off the website and they wanted 68 a pair and I was ordering 2 extras as gifts and they wanted $40 for shipping which is insane. Luckily I remembered my brother in law is a mechanic and he got it from the truck for $60 a pair.

My ln46acf doesn’t catch in the middle like yours. Btw - I also have the bigger 47’s. Depending on job, one is better than the other. While I love my LN’s, I have a bent nose needle that’s these would not be end of all tools.

You should keep an open mind about Snap-on tools. I’m a General Building Contractor and I Love their “instinct” & hard handle screwdrivers. The 9” LN47ACF pliers are much better and you should checkout their “high-Leverage” pliers that can help you with building tradesmen work. I also like their wire stripper/cutters and their 1/4” & hex bit “Swivel head/rotating head ratchet is my absolute favorite product they offer. We use these swivel head ratchets like screwdrivers or turn handles in the building trades (door hardware). Buy a couple neoprene fender covers to use a catch cloths when you’re drilling or cutting inside the building. We slide the fender cover under the door to catch drill dust & shavings, then shake it in garbage can and roll it up for storage in the toolbox. No vacuum needed if you got a neoprenefender cover

Just got my 46's immediately tried the nickle test lol, wasn't able to get it 100% of the time

Yep, that's Snap-On for you. After you bough it, all it leaves you with is picking nickels from other people's floors. Seriously, my mechanic has some Snap-On tools and there's nothing justifying that price tag. Sometimes they do have a very specialised tools, but still way to expensive. I get their philosophy - creating an elite brand with a very specific model of distribution. And I also get that it's tailored for the USA - a county of huge distances, with sparsely populated areas lacking tool stores (at least in the past), so fairly reliable and durable tools (you don't have to get a new tool every 6 months) coming to you (not the other way round), could be a successfully business. But now - it's like Apple or Festool. Their product content per se is as high as snobbery and impressions content.

These are next!

I have the set

Nice tool but.. a little pricey

I just got a pair, my last snap-on purchase was 37 years ago. Does your pair have a sharp edge on the back side of the rivet?

Nice tools , but very expensive !

I have some Klein needle nose from 28 that will grab that nickel… things used to be made differently….. do you do Instagram? I have an extensive collection of early snap on,Klein,Knipex,as well as Champion DeArment/channel lock… have a pair of channel lock parallel jaw plier from the 40’s that are believed to be the only pair left on the planet… channel lock corporate isn’t even sure what to think….

They are definitely nice but not all that practical for me without a cutter. I own a lot of quality tools but no snap on. I want their 8inch slip joint pliers very much.

I can’t wait for the icon version of this and the 9 in. I fucking love Icon tools

Man, I hope your kids can pay them off before they retire. 😭

I will probably never buy a Snap On tool. That said, this is only one I've ever especially wanted - it is a good design, with no alternative out there that's all that similar. I hope we get a solid knockoff from Icon and/or a quality Japanese manufacturer.
