I know this is older, but the knipex for me, is little electrical connectors. The 11" hold a nut in hard to reach places, while i can screw the bolt in , and i really like that little diamond shape ◇ to hold a nut. And then the precise tips , really good with fuses, spade connections, any tweaks, ... 🎉 LN46ACF is a choice for anything you throw at it, just more brutte
I have a lot of Knipex pliers as well. I bought the Snap On Needle nose and now they are in my pocket all the time. The finish on them looked like rust but you can not rube it off. I showed this to my Snap On dealer and he will exchange with me. He just did not have any on his truck that day. I also bought Blue Point Cable cutters from my Snap On Dealer. I first ask him if I could try to cut some harden 6 Gauge wire and he said yes. & he cut with them as well. WOW what a BIG difference from these compared to Kline cable cutters and the Kline Linesman Pliers. The Snap On Linesman pliers cut way easier than Kline. I do have Knipex wire cutters & or for cutting cable. They cut soft cable fine & romax. Knipex has never made cable cutters that will cut steal & or hardened copper 6 Gauge wire.
I never thought it was worth spending the money for Snap-on pliers but I ended up getting a few used and they are nice. Also got the Snap-on crimper/stripper at the same time, like them too.
I've always been happy with Channellock and they are the #1 plier brand I buy, but I've got a 1950's pair of Snapon #196 Vacuum grip needle nose pliers from my grandfather that I wouldn't trade for anything in the world. Channellock pliers aren't always pretty but they've been reliable for me and they're affordable, Needle nose pliers aren't a heavy duty use tool for me.
Henry is such a noble & handsome looking dog. He is handling his new role as the smartest tool dog on the internet very well. I will put my Klein needle noses against any and all. I have never owned snap on needle nose but i have all the other top brands.
@@CPthetooladdict CP meeting you and Henry is on my bucket list. I will make the trip to Iowa to meet y'all. I can probably count on one hand the number of people i have come across in my lifetime i would travel across the country to meet. - you are one of them.
Great video man! I really like when you dive deeper into your likes/dislikes. It gets me thinking about my tools and what works or doesn’t on them. Guess imma hafta get some of those slip joint needle nose from the snap on guy… I wonder if they come in blue…
I'm extremely picky with my needle nose pliers, just like you. Most of what I own are Knipex (the duck bill being my favorites, although they're not really needle nose) but my longer sizes are Snap-On and they're definitely worth the money.
Great video the ln47acf needle nose aren’t available in Canada yet the number doesn’t even come up in system here yet had my dealer check you Americans get everything first 😁
I have Snap On and Knipex in needle nose among other styles. I have to say I bought NWS and they are right up there or better. Can't go wrong with either one though.
Is it strange that I am from Germany and I own more Snap On pliers than Knipex?? I totally agree with you on the handle. Knipex just feel fragile. The Snap On stuff you can abuse.
People thar think everything knipex makes is great are the same people that don't understand that the test project farm does are not realistic and don't endure the test of time you will never apply that kind of force to something to break stuff I enjoy project farm but he even states alot that his test are extremely "subjective" and the Japanese pliers are the best bang for your buck. Snap-on is definitely not fragile.
@@CPthetooladdict Not just that, his sample selection for his tests is often misleading. He often doesn't compare the same class of products between brands. Apples to oranges tests a lot of the time.
Amazing how the Snap ins have changed from earlier ones I started with ..always good steel but not near the niceness of these newer designs , teeth & such..got those newer needle nose as well. Looks alone were like yup I will take them..👍 Thanks for the demo on differences Buddy. Henry 👍
NWS diag onal cutters, Snap on long nose, and Knipex precision neddle nose. I do like snap on needle nose pliers more I just wish they weren't so hard to open.
I can't talk myself into the money talon grips maybe one day I'm still rocking my snap on 47 slip joints, so I know I'd like them. the knipex needles I have let me down the tips bent a week in.
I love my snap on pliers they have the best hand grip material. I love there screwdrivers as much as there pliers I have the knipex needle nose too I like them but not as much as the snap on pliers
I have noticed the newer styles of Snap-on is not as good as the older ones i turned in a pair of needle nose pliers i had for about 15 years and the newer ones are already showing deflection in the tips i ordered the new 3 position needle nose but my dealer said after the hack he said all orders got canceled
I’ve been looking at those Talon Grip from Snap On for a while, trying to talk myself into spending that much. Your video may have pushed me over the edge.
Snap - On needle nose pliers are great for working on cars , but for a Electrician or a HVAC tech ; Klein or Knipex are in their hands every day for years .
I Think I have the same pliers I believe, had em so long I don't remember if they are straight Knipex or MAC version. Have to look tomorrow. I tend to default to my double hinged or double X GearWrench pliers, just because of their reach and leverage advantage. But it takes so many to get the job done it's just another weapon in my drawers. ...uh oh, wait.
CP I do want those new snap on long nose slip joint pliers. Snap on drives me nuts with their expensive shipping. So I’ve been waiting to jump on both sizes when they are available. As far a Knipex the little cobra plier is part of my EDC. They have some great tools .
Thanks for the video. Those new Snap On are like hens teeth. Not on the website, or any site actually. I like my older Snap Long nose needle pliers. No body has them so I get to watch y'all talk about it. Someday maybe. Also, do you have a # for the Dynamic pliers?
On the subject of deflection...deflection is a HUGE problem with locking pliers(vise grip type)..most of the time when you need a locking plier on something broken to twist it, gripping with the ends of the jaws is the ONLY way you can get a bite on it, and they ALWAYS deflect twist off the object...even the Vise Grip brand ones...my pricey Malco eagle grips do better, but still deflect a good bit. That is one situation where I like my Grip On style locking pliers better..I have 3 pair, one Channelock brand, one Proto brand, one Snap-On brand, all made in Spain by Grip On..the ends on these style pliers grip MUCH better and deflect MUCH less than the Vise-Grip style pliers...other than that, for other uses, I prefer the Vise Grip style..I like the release lever setup better and the wider jaw width...
Hard for me to spend good money on a set of longs cuz I'm super bad to twist then man.. any advice besides don't do it cuz imma do it, I'd just like a pair didn't twist up so easy
I like knipix even thogh the hadles are short but I like the plastic dip on the snap onthat I have better and can't wait for my dealer to get the slip joint needle nose also kline makes a great pair of needle nose
CP - love your channel - but could you possibly put a towel down and place an item you want to talk about on it and keep it there - all your video's you are moving the items constantly in and out of camera focus (mostly out of focus) - this one thing would make most all your videos so much better - the people who are hung over have no chance to view your videos.
The new snap on duckbill don't exist according to snap on lol. Gave them the number and they act like it's a secret. I showed my snap on guy them a couple months ago and he can't find any.

Thank you! Will do!
I feel like this about my Knipex too- I feel they’re for smaller jobs; or homeowner even. But S.O. Pliers are great!
Love the channel, just subscribed. I was on my Snap On truck Monday and was looking at the angle large needle nose, nice pliers .
Thats awesome I always like new happy people

Absolutely it's gives you a good guide but it's Def not rock solid
@@slayerment I don't see that happening here either with an old pair of knipex vs new snap on. Both brands outsource some of there tools.

Mother's mag polish in the joints of new stiff pliers and open and close th for a few min. Flush them out with oil and they are butter smooth.

Thanks for sharing!
Next time I see a snap on truck going down the road, I'm chasing him down to get a pair of those talon grip slip joint long nose pliers
I can't talk myself into the money talon grips maybe one day I'm still rocking my snap on 47 slip joints, so I know I'd like them. the knipex needles I have let me down the tips bent a week in.

Beautiful dog CP
Thanks sir i like your dog
What is the part number on the Knipex?
Those snap on ones are fantastic
CP I do want those new snap on long nose slip joint pliers. Snap on drives me nuts with their expensive shipping. So I’ve been waiting to jump on both sizes when they are available. As far a Knipex the little cobra
plier is part of my EDC. They have some great tools .
Find a dealer local
I prefer Knipex pliers for certain things, snap-on for others
Thanks for the video. Those new Snap On are like hens teeth. Not on the website, or any site actually. I like my older Snap Long nose needle pliers. No body has them so I get to watch y'all talk about it.
Someday maybe.
Also, do you have a # for the Dynamic pliers?
Ordered those new snap on pliers like 2 months ago man my dealer is having trouble getting them
Been waiting over a month for my dealer to get some of those shhhhnap ons

I use my knipex for sliver removal because they are so tight and fine tipped I feel.
Hard for me to spend good money on a set of longs cuz I'm super bad to twist then man.. any advice besides don't do it cuz imma do it, I'd just like a pair didn't twist up so easy
I want to buy new snap on plier but don't have enough money
What's your opinion on the Mac long reach pliers? I was gonna get the PS711LRAG set but won't waste my breath if they are junk.
Junk
@@CPthetooladdict I agree. I don't like the Mac pliers.
