I purchased all the eagle grip pliers when doc from last best tool made a video about them, all of them except these three. These three were around 60.00 each at that time.. I couldn't justify buying them at that price. At 25 you'd be stupid not to buy them. I'm not a body guy but I'd rather have them and not need them, rather than eventually need them and not have them! Good looking out CP!
Always enjoy when a feller shows us what's in his drawers 😂...I think I feel a little better ..I don't have a problem..you got more pliers than me 😉..Thanks Buddy..✌
Hello Fellow Toolhaulics and Friends: CP Thank you for this locking plier video. It's really a shame that anything good ends up going out of business. I'm happy that Snap On came in & took over the business so that it stays in the USA, but that didn't help those people that lost their jobs in your state Chad. Always a pleasure & my best to Henry. TMP from N.J.
Given what happened to SK recently Snap-On seems downright heroic in this situation. I don't use locking pliers enough to spend that kind of money, but if they can turn a profit selling them for 80 dollars more power to them.
KTC is supposed to be a quality Japanese tool manufacturer . Bought 2 pair of locking pliers from Amazon shipped through Amazon Japan , they were made in Taiwan . My last KTC tool purchase ! Ordered Knipex Made in Germany . ViseGrips , Made in China . Have bought GripOn , Made in Spain .
I IDed them as outsourcing when I saw another brand offering the exact same X-Jaws. At this point the only locking pliers I have confirmed ARE made in Japan are the Three Peaks brand, and they aren't typical pliers as they're made for fastener removal. KTC, Lobster, Engineer, Top, all not made in Japan.
Am I wrong in assuming snapons cost to market for these should be a bit cheaper since they've cut out the middle man ? I'm glad they bought the eagle grip tooling, but I just don't like that they aren't likely to pass any savings on to the customer. If they lower their pricetag by even $5 I'll eat my words, but I don't see it. I understand the necessity for a markup on rebrands, but I do think their markup was a bit steep and will be even more so in the near future.
Thanks CP! The Eagle Grips are a major cut above anything else. I have 3-4 pairs both in 7" and 10". If anything were to happen to them, like get lost or stolen, I would have to get the Snap-on branded ones. Might take some saving up for, but tbh, once you get the eagles in hand and use them, it's hard to return to the other locking pliers out there.
I bought the two thin jaw set when I heard about them and really like them and have many as I could afford as you said the Eagle Grip are by far the best period
That's not a bad deal, I believe payed $45 from HJE when they 1st hit the market. Now I'm thinking I may want to get the 8" welding clamp and those wide flat jaws if I can find them. I don't weld but those things are great clamps.
I bought two of the Eagle Grips last year when they were still 50 bucks each and I have no regrets. Definitely the best locking pliers ever and worth every cent!
Awesome video brother. Nice review. Always handy. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible night. Much love and RESPECT
the new snap on ones are really nice, waiting for a set to come out maybe on “sale” lol. i wonder if you have malco’s if since snap on bought them, if they would warranty them?
Hello again, CP Thank you for another Great Video 👍 I glad a American company bought the Malco name. It remains to be seen if that is a good thing or not 😊 Again thank you
Lmao, I'd hide behind a screen name and be a troll spreading false narratives also if I was as deployable as you are. Living rent free in your head is my super powers. Appreciate you paying me to say that even though it's not even remotely true, anywho thank you!! 😊
So Snap-on bought the eagle grip manufacturing facility from malco and are going to run it and keep making them but now under the snap-on name is that correct?
Say cp sorry for getting off subject but I was gonna ask you what you thought of the Capri stubby 1/2 drive impact sockets I've got both sets in standard and metric I've abused an hammerd the hell out of them I'm pleased so far
There really the first locking pliers I've ever bought new the price of them from this little hardware store was in my budget I find it helpful that you can tighten them with a wrench or screw driver I don't know were there made at but they work alright. Love your videos cp I'm a recovering drug addict and I found myself addicted to buying tools after I got this job working at a heavy equipment salvage yard
Im so happy I bought a pair of Eagle Grips before they went to snap on.
I bought these exact pliers from Amazon.
Ordered those welding Eagle Grips my damn self from HJE for cheap CP 🤘🏻
Like CP said if you don’t like it don’t buy it but let’s be happy an American manufacturer took over and is still making them in America.

I’m still rockin’ the made in Spain Snap Ons. Time for an upgrade.
Always enjoy when a feller shows us what's in his drawers 😂...I think I feel a little better ..I don't have a problem..you got more pliers than me 😉..Thanks Buddy..✌
Love that!
Cp does it again. This guys is going to attain sainthood for these vids
Thanks CP!
Often a underrated tool that can do much more if you are creative with it!!

If snappy would sell them with no warranty for $45 it would be worth it I don't know why their markup is so high on something that doesn't fail often

Thanks for sharing. I'm not a fan of ktc for that exact reason. It's hard to know what's Japan or Taiwan

thank you for the information, i need these before the 80 dollar price tag starts.
Glad I could help

I got some from acme for cheap and some from JDTCo with a free hat

That was my first thought too about snap on buying them out maybe there brand will actually work now
Another great episode!!!
I just had a harbor freight add....😅
I paid $38 for my set of eagle grips at one of the supply houses because they are discontinued. I still see them and should get another set.
That's not a bad deal, I believe payed $45 from HJE when they 1st hit the market.
Now I'm thinking I may want to get the 8" welding clamp and those wide flat jaws if I can find them.
I don't weld but those things are great clamps.
Dealer brought those in the other week i have a lot of snap on but i couldn't justify to myself 80 bucks for a smaller size vice grip.
I need me some USA made vise grips!!! Or locking pliers if we are calling them by their actual name but we all know em as visegrip lol
Thanks C.P. Keeping it real. Keep it in America. How’s Henry
Love it
I bought two of the Eagle Grips last year when they were still 50 bucks each and I have no regrets. Definitely the best locking pliers ever and worth every cent!
Thanks for sharing
I just ordered a bunch of the Malco C clamps, hopefully they show up in a reasonable time.
Great review my brother! Appreciate you always
I appreciate that
Don't know they had the 8in can't beat the price had to get 2
Cp I think every mechanic has a pliers problem it’s almost like it’s in our DNA!
Nice review. Any update on USA made products has my attention!!
I am working on it as much as I can find on anything I can always lol
Awesome video brother. Nice review. Always handy. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible night. Much love and RESPECT
Thanks! Will do!
Got enough 30-40 year old American made Vice-Grip brand locking pliers to do me for the rest of my life.
I like how snapon has the mini malco pliers but there $75
Exactly woof on that
Good job cp
the new snap on ones are really nice, waiting for a set to come out maybe on “sale” lol. i wonder if you have malco’s if since snap on bought them, if they would warranty them?
Next time I get on the truck I want to get my hands on the new needle nose locking pliers 👍🏼
I definitely want some, but 80 dollars is better invested in ammo these days lol
Great video CP 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Welp I guess I’m putting an order in. Should have skipped this video lol.
Just an FYI that Amazon is still selling Malco Eagle Grips for under $40 a piece for the 7" and 10" vice grip.
HJE is selling them for under 30
@@CPthetooladdict True, but with shipping it's about the same. Either way a great deal!
Hello again, CP

Great info 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Boy, will you take a look at it?
Eagle Grip: You can buy cheaper locking pliers, but you can't buy better locking pliers.
Amen!!!
👍👍👍
This guy and the tool bear guy are like on the same level of expertise

"I got a plier problem" CP, you've got a tool problem haha
It's okay better than meth or being a alcoholic
@@CPthetooladdict I agree there, but watching your videos doesn't help me with my tool addiction haha. Keep up the good videos!
👍😊.
Acme tools 24.97 free shipping while supplies last.
Harry J Epstein has all of them 29.99 plus shipping they bought ton of stock on them
Heck ya they do!!
8:44 Nice MeatCanyon clip. 😂
👍
There’s a guy in tracer Iowa asking a whole lotta money for what I think would be a matching top chest for your og Mac box on Facebook market place.
No kidding I will check that out
Wow 3k is ridiculous lol
So Snap-on bought the eagle grip manufacturing facility from malco and are going to run it and keep making them but now under the snap-on name is that correct?
They bought the tooling
Snap On has introduced new sizes as well. I think Snap On has much bigger plans for a large locking plier line.
What is this Live Commentary Mode in your livestream?
Fixed it
Say cp sorry for getting off subject but I was gonna ask you what you thought of the Capri stubby 1/2 drive impact sockets I've got both sets in standard and metric I've abused an hammerd the hell out of them I'm pleased so far
They are solid capri as a company is trash
Ya I've heard some stories about that
Thanks for the reply
Np buddy
You clearly do not have enough pliers bro. I mean why so few?
Lol
Idk I like my milwaukee locking pliers.
Whenever makes you happy
