ICON Snap Ring Pliers Review Harbor Freight Tools 

Really looking forward to more on the Icon tools. I did a review on the Icon wrenches and I am disappointed in them. Im wishing I would have went with the Carlyle set

Fell ya there, I tried to squeeze in a video but it's been relentless with working on cars or working on machines breaking down

I was thinking about your channel about a day or two before you posted this. I was like damn, Brian hasn't posted any new videos or done the live streams in a week or two. Glad your busy at work. Things are picking up for me now after the holidays. Looking forward to what's next from ya brother.

Some Tekton and Channellock stuff are made in the US, at a somewhat affordable price

I’ve looked and all I can find is a 4 piece set for that price.

Because with the icon you can simply go into harbor freight and get a replacement if they break, vs having to send them out to knipex and waiting weeks to get a replacement. Or maybe even waiting weeks to find out that they declined your warranty replacement for some reason. Knipex are nice, I own many knipex tools, but in this case the harbor freight stuff makes more sense.

Buy both. One set for the truck and one for the home box. Being able to replace the icons same day is a huge plus for me.

Huh? Where are you getting these prices from? I love Knipex but their 4 piece kit is more than the Icon 8 piece.

There professional grade i use mine reguarly

They aren’t terrible but not great. I’m trying to remove a snap ring right now and the Quinn are not doing the job. They just don’t grip and slip off constantly.

There is a new 20 percent off coupon now. I like to help everyone out even little boys who comment ignorant comments on RU-vid videos. :)

@@RedemptionGarage snagged some tools up today impacts sockets, found some 3/8 ratchets, etc...

Exactly. I know it's two years later but all be does is bash! He doesn't like where they are made clearly and it seems he believes that everything made in the u.s is perfect. The made in u.s is all BS. Look at ford and GM made in U.S but they are ass. The best tool is a to that works. Forget where it's made. I have then and they work fine. This fool didn't like the case they came in. I bet if it had snap on name on it he wouldn't have said shyt because it's made in the USA. Made in the USA is his slogan. 👋🏼 He thinks they are junk even though he says they aren't junk. He doesn't like where they are made. That like racism to me. Thumbs down 👎🏼

Michael Sieber no he doesn’t and weird that he keeps talking about “tool truck brands” when I doubt a tool truck even comes to his work.

Todd Osterhout yea and he says he bought all the over priced jump boxes cause he wants to open a shop but how are you going to open a shop if your not a mechanic lol

I think the man is honest, and calls them the way he sees it. That is the part that matters. Really no need for negativity imo

***TwiZ*** well my problem is that Brian isn’t a mechanic and probably doesn’t even have a “tool truck” come by his work. His experience as a mechanic seems limited in my opinion

@@toddosterhout9866 Mechanic Profession A mechanic is a tradesman, craftsman or technician who uses tools to build or repair machinery. The things he does at his job, from what I gather, works on industrial machinery, welding and fabrication, and works on his and others (at times) vehicles, among other things, I feel this puts him in the true meaning, or definition of, a mechanic. It seems to me that he falls into the category of "mechanic". Works on and can repair, at a level that isnt a DIYer .He makes money being a "mechanic" I too, make a living being a mechanic. If it is a piece of machinery, a mechanic can repair it, and get paid at the level of a professional. A auto mechanic is that, a auto mechanic, and gets paid as a pro, but doesn't work on other machinery at a professional level. Thats what they do, automotive. There is a difference, in my opinion. Either way, each one would have a knowledge of what would be a good or bad tool to use at the level of a professional, to be used reliably, on a daily basis. I feel he comes with enough credibility that I personally would trust his opinion on tools. Im not sure if you are strictly an auto mechanic or not, but if you are, (would that mean your experience as a mechanic is limited??) I'm sure you would have an opinion on tools, wether they are good or bad, and I would consider your opinion as well. If you are making a living with them, why wouldn't a fellas opinion help you decide on making a tool purchase or not?. Just because a tool truck doesn't stop by doesn't automatically mean you're not a mechanic, or somehow are excluded or limited in experience, in my opinion.

***TwiZ*** the longest reply I’ve ever seen in my life. I was an auto mechanic but for the last 20 years I’ve been in the navy as an engineman which is a diesel mechanic and a lot of other things we work on that are on the ship. Brian is talking like he is an auto mechanic and that is my point. Anyways if you want to believe a bunch of hype that’s your right to

@@toddosterhout9866 I spent time in the Navy myself. Served on a birdfarm USS Independence CV-62 as a HT2 Hull Maintenance Technician. I worked alongside the MM's that were in "A" gang and the BT's as well so I'm very familiar with the engineering department. I never got the impression once that he was any type of Auto Tech, never. But everybody sees things a different way so you're entitled to your opinion and I'm entitled to mine. I just don't understand if it bothers you that much why are you even on his channel watching videos...just sayin
