    You will need to be able to pick up spare change with your pliers after you spend all of your money on the tool truck.

    I bought the Snap-On talon grips and they are amazing - they are the only Snap-On tool I have, and they are special indeed. Love my Knipex pliers, and the twin grips are just outstanding as well. Spending money on Knipex is usually not wasted - such capable tools.

    i love snap on but only my tools that i use the most are snap on like my punches since those see the most abuse. other than that i mostly have original usa made craftsman,proto ,pm and husky with a few icon and Pittsburgh tools thrown in.

    Just the regular snap on slip joint talon grip pliers also have awesome teeth and grip.They are like a file sharp.BUT the Icon equivalentr pliers at 18 bucks are even more impressive cuz they are 40 bucks cheaper and at least 92 percent as good as the snap on in my opinion.Icon needs to make the longer nose ones like you pictured.

    • @DIYDiesel
      @DIYDiesel  Год назад

      Ya I will say no one makes a needle nose with that type off tooth pattern which I think is a huge improvement on a needle nose pliers

    Those are great plies (ln47acf), and the thing that initially sold me was that dude could hang from a piece of sheet metal.. just silly.. but, they have amazing applications if you need to pull sheet goods of different widths or anything flat. Really great especially if you can grab them for a deal/used.

  • @georgelin8498
    @georgelin8498 Год назад +4

    The test is to pick up by the rim only meaning the pliers need to be 90 degrees to the coin. The angle your using means it’s biting into the side of the coin.

    I have the Icon 8" needle nose pliers. 8" three position slip joint icons which I'm not really impressed with cuz I don't think the jaws line up perfectly like they should. I returned the first set and got a second which the jaws line up a little better but they're still not 100% considering they're supposed to be a professional grade. I have 30 plus year old craftsman slip joint pliers and their jaws line up perfectly. I have this 7-in Diag cutters which actually are really nice and they line up perfect. I got them all a couple weeks ago with a 30% off coupon which is the only time I'll buy the icon stuff at Harbor Freight. So for 14 bucks each to definitely a good value

    I guess people still pick Snap-On when pro uses.
    The tools should be able to take all kinds of abuses and last for years. High efficiency of your hand tools can help you with profit generating, too.
    For home use you may consider other options.

      Harbor Freight employs more US employees than Snap On. Harbor Freight is a private US company owned by a US citizen. Snap On is owned by overseas investors. Snap on sells more overseas products than US made. Harbor Freight butt F@&! Snap On with the Daytona jack and Snap On admitted in court the made in USA jack was made in CHINA BY SUNNEX.

    So lets get this right YOU are doing the exact demo that you claim everyone else who does it to demo pliers is STUPID. Just so were on the same page here. I think the 11" Icons are particularly useful for when u see someone who is about to do the coin demo, they have nice reach to give them a quick slap across the face to snap them out of it & get back to work.

It gets old watching people talk up tools that are putting tool companies out of business. I take it your a diesel mechanic just imagine people start taking there diesel engines out of the country for repair. Then see some saying you can get the repairs done cheaper all the mechanics do it. As you get laid off.

      @@rawwetzel i totally understand that, but you also have to understand not everyone can afford made in America anymore. The point of this video is to show what is really good about the pliers, and I did. I even say basically buy both.
      Unfortunately made in America started going off shore since the late 60s, and now really going further with it. Seeing Blue Point go there sucked to see. I will say I am excited to see Milwaukee bringing there hand tool manufacturing supposedly back the the United States soon.
