- The Snap On LN47ACF have been on my List for longer than they have existed. A triple-joint needle nose is not good enough. Now we have an absolute beast of a tool that captures the goodness of the standard (large) slipjoint Snap On pliers with an added needle nose option blasting out the business end. Yes, I'm Impressed!
Best pliers ever!!
I wasn't expecting them to be that large when I first saw them, I am hoping that snap on will make a smaller version at some point.
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.
I got some a couple weeks ago. They are fantastic. They open wide enough to easily grab water hose fittings. But are precise enough to grab mini fuses on my mower. I love them
I've had a pair for a couple of weeks now... exceedingly useful! Wish they'd have come out in the early 70's; I'd have probably gone through several pair by now!
I love the triple joint pliers. I hope they come out with a miniature set soon. Great work.
I've had mine for month or two they work awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Happy 2 years, Doc!
These are flat out the best pliers I've ever owned. These things grip things that I used to have to use vise grips on.
congrats on the new pliers Doc hope you like them as much as I love mine
Great tool 👍👍
They are big, tuff,and are just awesome for demolition work !! I can take hold of anything and just pull .
Looking forward to some Knipex twin grip needle nose that will inevitably come out :)
Twin grip needle nose insta-buy. Are you listening Knipex?!!?!?
Here in the U.K. snap on tools are so costly one expects them to be solid gold. Most of the Tools in the U.S. are really great and I would love a tool box full , but I would need to mortgage my house , cash in all insurances and get a bicycle.
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!!
Love your content, just ordered a pair
I can find several uses for such a pair of pliers. Gotta get me some!
Great video. Wish you would have shown off the middle setting. Mine were ordered last week.
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.
It would be great to see Snap-On make a internal spring version like IPS tends to make. That extra capability is appreciated when it’s there.
No sale on the new pliers. It’s not a all purpose front pocketcarry plier and other pliers will do a specific job better. If SnapOn wants to give me a set I will try them out.
Cant wait to try them out when they come down to Australia
I like the way they look, but I can't stand slip joint pliers, never liked them. Then I found the Knipex push button design, and never looked back.
I got mine yesterday!! Snap-On website says on back-order until 8/15/2023, but my local Snap-On truck had them in stock.
Do you have any reviews on the Knipex pipe wrench? Love your videos by the way, amazing tools!
Dang, I'll have to put that on my bucket list of tools I probably don't need but really want.
think I might really need these, thanks for showing..
Have mine on order coming soon hopefully!!!!
Does this tend to leave tool marks? Where I work anything that leaves marks, like the regular slip joint pliers, is very frowned on.
As long as you have clearance, they may replace few other pliers. Nice tool.
They are great pliers
I have three of the LN47ACF Needle Nose. I hope they come out with a mini-version.
I wish they would make some mini of the triple joint plier and the needle noses.
I had those since their release great pliers
I’ve been wanting these since I’ve seen them on cp’s channel, they been on back order forever!
What’s the Notching on the outside of it towards the tip?
Did anyone notice the play between jaws? Also, having the plier in the 2ed poison, jaws are not symmetrical?
I feel those things, but I'm not sure what I'd use them for. Have you tried them with some beefy cotter pins? I think they might be great for that.
I hope to have my pair next week! 👍
Love mine so much, going to grab that green needle nose pair you got on Monday, and maybe some flank jaws if my dude has a clean pair on the truck. But I was disappointed by that cutter lol, almost thought it wasn't a cutter and just maybe looked like a cutter.
I'd love to see you revisit these with a update
Great reiew.
These kind of solve a problem that doesn’t exist. Never once did I wish my regular pliers were also a needle nose😂😂
I think screw extraction is a much better feature on regular pliers
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.
what would you use it for,
Those are the smoothest ratcheting wrenches, get surprised every time I pull one out!
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!
These quickly became my go to along with a set of cobras
More... mine also won't cut smaller wire. If they'd only cut garden variety 0.032" safety wire they'd be perfect. (But most slip joints have have the same issue.)
Maybe a new video of those wrenches next :) my favorite wrenches I use those everyday
What part of AK are you in?
You’re killing my credit card. But this one is way too cool not to have. Thanks for your channel BTW.
Hi Doc, Your videos are great, but they have cost me a lot of money. I didn't have any SnapOn pliers, but have a ton of Knipex, Klien, Channellock and others. I felt SnapOn was over piced, and it is. But I wanted to add a few to the collection, so ordered the 8" Talon Grip Flankjaw slip joint pliers, 8" Talon Grip combination slip joint pliers and the 9" Talon Grip long nose pliers (LN47ACFG). I do have some SnapOn rachets, sockets, wrenches and screwdrivers and I know they make great tools. But to fill a large toolbox full of them would be hideously expensive, especially if you also have a SnapOn toolbox. I will just keep my SnapOn purchases to a smattering of their hand tools. But love the videos and keep them coming.
Another tool to add to the list
Can't believe it doesn't cut well. Is this an annomoly will new pliers cut
Been wanting a pair since they came out. Problem is, so does everyone else. My dealer still hasn't seen a single pair and he has been a dealer for over 30 years and has a freightliner stocked floor to ceiling.
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
Interesting , can get out of a lot of jams !
Cost?
Gotta have them!
Howdy folks! Docs back!
I’ve had this tool for about a month or so and it’s already experiencing some surface rust? Anyone else have this issue? I am planning on picking up some rust removers I expand my collection
Next on the list
Long nose slipjoints.
Would love to see a 6 inch model in hi viz yellow
Parallel jaws are best feature imo
I really like though
Im not really a snap-on guy. I may have a $1000 in snap-on tools. I have all kind of brands. Easco, Williams, Proto, S*K but no real favorite. If i like it or need it, i buy it. As far as air tool go, i mainly own IR. Battery operated tools, Milwaukee is my go to
You ever want to get rid of the wire cutters let me know 😂 I want that pair
I think the knipex is more versatile.
Knipex is box joint, therefore superior
Long Nose pliers. That is the LN in LN47ACF. The regular slip joints are 47ACF and LN is the long nose version of it. CF is cold forged after the manufacturing process. These are my assumptions.
How do the cutters on the 137ACF slip joints perform on that stranded wire you cut with the LN47ACF ?
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.
What is the main use of it?
I mean the new needlenose plier
The main use is a pathetic attempt to compete with knipex
I have those side cutters and they are ASS. The blades are still razor sharp but they came out of alignment from cutting.... and you wouldn't believe it.... solid copper 14AWG wire. Give me Knipex or give me death.
You should have included your couple of things for improvement
I go the new Snaps ...vacuum grip...when JFK was pResident
I love these pliers. I bought them brand new with a pair of 786CFs for $80 for the pair. Does anyone have an offset in the middle setting with the jaws?
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
😎 thanks for sharing, watching this gave me the bug
Probably better than the knipex twingrip - could be described as a long-nose uni-slipjoint pliers - good vid. 👌
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.
интересный инструмент
knipex vastly superior. In order to be taken seriously, pliers must have a box joint.
They are only good for pulling relays. The grips lose there grab a bunch
Уже в 45 году у моего деда были такие только мейд ин СССР
As an after thought everything here in the U.K. of decent quality is more expensive than any other place in the world, people don't realise the U.K is really RIP OFF Britain, everything to do with money is taxed several times over, and merchants / storekeepers / retailers are greedy inasmuch as the ask top prices for everything. and very rarely offer any wriggle room.
!
My god you are such a fan boy! I hate slip joints of any kind. The pivot is always too loose. I would only consider the new Knipex twingrip.
WHo uses Slip Joint pliers for ANYTHING? Knipex needs to knock these off and make them better.
