OMG! Snap On! My new BFF! The LN47ACF Needle Nose(?) Pliers: Monsters of gross precision massiveness 

And now they do😊

@@rickydavis1051 haven’t got the smaller yet, but would love if they made some even smaller. Size like the 125 cobras.

Moan less work hard I bought most my tools as an apprentice working for £200 a week

@@saysal681 Your Arsehole lucky then!! When I started work I was paid £2: 2/6' a week which was 2 1/8ths pounds sterling!! And I was expected to buy my own tools out of that as well as live!!

Twin grip needle nose insta-buy. Are you listening Knipex?!!?!?

I have them and the middle setting makes them offset at least on mine

Yeah i own them too and not to be a downer, but the middle setting is kind of useless IMO. Like the other poster said it causes this weird offset that i just dont really see a use for. Having said that its the only "flaw" they have IMO and its possible im just not thinking of a situation that could be useful.

These aren't needed whatsoever, the only reason there made is to get people who love tools to buy more tools. The only place this tool realistically fits is for a home owner that likes a tool that does multiple things but those people shop at ikea for tools not snap on. I get it though, if your into tools then why not. I do the same with knives, and maybe I should get into snap on tools because they are way cheaper than the knives I buy.

@@chriswebb3018 agreed there. I have a $1200 Shirogorov in my pocket as we speak 😂

@@bigneek714 shiro's are amazing knives for sure. My most recent is the Craig Brown fsd. Knives are way more fun than pliers

@@chriswebb3018 would love to get one. Heard they recently released them in 20CV Doc clearly likes nice things with snap on and rolex. I’ve commented that he should dip his toes into nicer knives. Like a Sebenza to start.

@@bigneek714 yes a sebenza for someone that likes tools is a great first higher end knife for sure. Once it breaks in. I've only seen him show benchmade and some breaching axes.

I machine the gears for those ratchet wrenches and let me tell you there’s a lot of work put in to make them that smooth lol

@@Em1_99 well I thank you!

Cost 63.75 but there available for a C-note on ebay 😂 Another guy wants 125 😂 I’ll wait till September when there in stock,maybe 😂

My dealer had 30 or so lol. They had finally got them down here in Texas. I knew about them before he did. He gets a little aggravated with that sometimes hahaha

Knipex is box joint, therefore superior

I mean the new needlenose plier

The main use is a pathetic attempt to compete with knipex

I have a pair of the 137ACF slip joint pliers and find that the cutters on them are superior to the standard shear cutters on the majority of snap on pliers. I do wish those cutters were on this pair of pliers. The 137ACF cutters have the ability to cut stranded wire with ease and you can even strip wire with them (if you have the right technique). I have these new LN47ACF pliers and love the size of the duck bill nose on them, but wish the cutters were a different design. Additionally, I have found that all of snap on's pliers use a softer steel which impacts the teeth of the pliers. I performed a test with several different pair of snap on pliers and a pair of knipex 02 01 200 pliers and found that the snap on plier teeth were generally chewed up the afterwards (rounded over or compressed). But, the knipex pliers showed little to no damage at all after hard use during the same test. The knipex cutters are far superior as well and I wouldn't worry about cutting most hardened materials with them. I have damaged a couple pairs of snap on pliers (the models not using the 137ACF cutters) cutting something that was a little too hard for the softer metal. Both great products. Knipex would win no contest if they would make a version of their needle nose pliers that were this size.

@@jel4582 Thank you for the detailed comment. If I were to get a Snap on Slip-joint plier id get the 137ACF based on your positive feedback on the cutters. My goal of a slip-joint is to get the hefty size and cutter of a linesman with the adjustability of the slip-joint, 137ACF seems to be the closest yet. Iʻd also like a Long Nose Slip-joint with a better cutter and smaller sizes like 6 in.

Incorrect. Knipex superior. Screw extraction and superior purchase due to teeth. Torque and grip on twingrips is superior

@@tallswede80I don’t think you can compare the two. I could see these being used in automotive. Maybe for squeezing hose clamps, pulling smaller hose, getting proper leverage removing connectors, etc. I have the twin grips, and I rarely use them over my Cobras. I could see replacing my current needle nose pliers with these.

I noticed the offset too, but it is pretty much a non issue since 1) it’s a function of the slip joint physics and there is nothing easily that can be done about it, and 2) the jaws in the middle position don’t even touch at the tips so the offset is really not able to affect much. My thoughts anyway.

@@lastbesttool yeah I wondered if it was just an unavoidable thing that has to happen by design
