Hey Doc I ordered all those eagle grips and one came with that tag like you got on yours, but the rest were in plastic bags with a simple small white sticker. I was confused too so I called them up. It’s really simple. Snapon bought the rights to the pliers and all the tooling to build them. I asked anything still being sold is old stock? She said yes they still have a few pallets left. So anything we’re buying now will run out soon. Packaging won’t be made anymore either that’s why I got plastic bags. Also the price being liquidation level makes sense too. They prob have a deal with snapon to sell cheap because snapon what’s the brand name off the shelves. So buy them up this won’t last. Love your videos.

Doc - thanks so much for this video! Titan makes an alumninum version of this swivel bit driver that weighs less than 2 oz. Perfect of my EDC kit paired with the Steinwhale Stubby bit extender/bit kit.

The Long Nose Eagle Grips are $30.56 on Amazon right now.

I see the Malco long nose locking pliers are in stock so I ordered those.

The Klein is my favorite, but I also love the RFB400K for its ability to convert to several handle styles.

Matco UPR4M is the best clip tool. I try to avoid the trucks but i bought the matco trim tool set and the UPR4M when i started doing body work. I have a bad habit of buying every trim tool i come across. The flat metal ones everyone sells are nice too. I bought one of the snap on ones but ended up having a coworker buy one of the matco i mentioned to trade me. I cant wait to try some vim stuff. Sorry 'bout the adhd rant. Haha

5:26 @last best tool Doc, I’m so thankful you are doing this/these kinds of tests; so I can save what little nerves have left from being the idiot 16-30 yr old and not using PPE doing any job. Yes, could argue that was different time and world back in those days, but we were just all idiots simply put. Wish did use hearing ppe running tile saws, nail guns, oh…..planers and routers, as well as, knee pads or a knee foam, and so on…. Cheers✌🏻for making vids enjoy watching!

этот тупой "дзинь" весьма раздражает!)

To all the Sparkies, Electronics Repair, Srvc Techs, etc…..who probably like me; been using Wiha Slim, Klein Flip blade, Knipex, and wera versions of insulated screwdrivers, ratchets, etc….as been out forever compared to Milwaukee releases; which leads me to this query. Does anyone buy the NEW Milwaukee Hand tools: insulated screwdrivers/multi-bit/precision screwdrivers, pliers, ratchet & wrenches, wire strippers, etc….which I’m sure if like me; have quite the collection already from these brands that came before, not cheap money wise; so, now that Milwaukee and others in this space way more prevalent over last 2ish to 5ish years…..do you go out and buy the Pretty New Shiny Tools, which could have features current tools do not, and so on….? If ppl been in trades for few months to several years (3 mos - 2 yrs); or now going on 30 years (man I feel SO YOUNG, lol) here’s my POV when comes to buying any new tool released. I mean any new tool, power tools from miter saws all way down to specialty torque ESD micro screwdrivers.. I keep what I have in my different pouches, bags, boxes (depending on job going to), and as the tools themselves start to wear out or break, this is when I buy new to replace what had, and also allows me to try the newer brands and see how hold up compared to tried and true etc….

The difference between this ones and the one with the opening in the jaws is that some times when the screw is hard it ends up not beeing able to hold it even though it could theoretically cut it. So having to cut that damn deck screw you end up using your linemans and you dent those and you end up buying a new set of Knipex Linemans and a 250 mm Cobolt with the hole in the jaws.

Snap on has been ripping people off for many years

The 5 inch eagle grip was not in their 2022 catalog. Seemed to be exclusive to Snap-On.

RIP OFF !!!!! Snap on sit on their hands for more than a decade saying " some dude still believe the name is everything " 😂😂😂 you have brand name that are equal or better than Snap on today at a fraction of the price

I wonder if the needle nose version that snap on just came out with is available as an eagle grip?

Harry J Epstein Tool Company has the 11” Malco pliers & 11” C-pliers for $29

Yeah i picked up a cpl after your last video and i have fallin in love. The long nose have been unavailable however

29.99 @ Harry J. Epstein

That's an incredible price difference. Thanks for the information Doc

Snap on is taking the p¡ss out of its customers then basically

Ordered,,,these work great to hold mower blades for sharpening with angle grinder……

So are they still making pliers under the Malco name??

Malco seems to be going for the automotive detailing sector

$100 for the Snap On name? That's cheap! What's going on is a variety of liquidators bought up the old Malcos, ...and the Malcos haven't really been selling very well... So, over the past 2 years, they've been dropping the price from $79 to $59 to $45 to now $35. Snap On can get away with high prices, but a quick flipping resellers have to move product, and the reality is the competition for these type of pliers sells in the $4 - $20 range. And there are some good ones in that range, ie the Craftsman (from China) for $12.

Name of the yellow handle Klein runner ups?

Snap-on tax = multiply by 4

Mac has these two for one at about 55-60 bucks in this months sale paper

That's all left over from malco now .....snap on bought the malco plant now and they mski g for snap on now too...at ridiculous prices for snap on too...

Thank you! Picked up a few.

fireball tool.

Just a sign of the times. They are duping people into thinking that they are buying a US made product because of the name.

I would love to find a company who makes a 3.5mm bit adapter to go to 1/4hex screwdrivers both in the 1 inch length and a 3 inch length. It seems both Klein and Milwaukee have adopted the 3.5mm bit size but everyone else wiha, ifixit etc have adopted the 4mm bit size

Geez Doc, you a knife guy too? Bro just has a random Adamas kickin around, haha

Snap On pliers are definitely premium stuff. I am disappointed that they choose to laser etch part numbers. I like lifetime tools to be stamped.

I get it, some guys follow everything from their favorite big box tool brand. What's next? Dewalt laptops and cell phones? Why not buy a knife from a reputable knife maker? The big tool companies are spreading themselves into oblivion, matter of time before everything they make turns to junk because they dont specialize in anything. Just my opinion.

I have one. Totally happy with it. I’m not a knife aficionado so it’s perfect for me. My best.

Yes remove wheel and plastic liner to change the bulb! 2013 Subaru Legacy

Looks like for small clips they all fail.

Damn these safety knives are so nice compared to the piece of shit I was given at my last job. The lil fucker had a side trigger to unlock the safety cap on the blade which was tolerable even though the button was a terrible location, what made it a pain in the ass is that the cover would spring back up and reset the lock the moment tension was eased off of it. Meaning you needed to time the disengage the moment your about to make a cut. Its a damn shame a pallet dropped on it and I had to use just the blade for the rest of the day.

That design just looks way to hard on your fingers. I feel like most clips you would use that for would be full of dirt.

That branding's kinda subtle for Dewalt. I'm sure they could've squeezed a few more points on that font. And what about the back side? I tell you, they're flubbing up!

Looks like a beater knife to me.

Tanto blade, part-serrated blade, big boxy plastic handle, unknown steel, loud branding, extremely low price - I definitely don't need or want this knife.

You're the only person I've heard pronounce it "O-tackle" and that makes so much more sense 😆

The DeWalt tanto knife doesn't close as crisp as I would like - not as good as a basic Fastback. I keep it on my reflective vest that I wear when I walk my dogs at night.

Amazon is so funny. Recommended uses, Camping. Age Range, Kid. Blade steel, no mention. Care instructions, hand wash only. Style, modern. $15 knife. Based on that description, no one SHOULD buy this, but I assume the listing is cut and pasted from something else. That said, I haven't found any info on the steel, so for a $15 knife you shouldn't assume too much.

Thanks pal

If they make a version with a good screwdriver it just might replace my fastback. It’s just asking for g10 inlays to replace the yellow plastic.

Love the channel Doc. As a subaru shop owner the issue with your headlight bulbs is your not using long life bulbs. Subaru has a TSB about it. we only stock long life bulbs at our shop for this exact reason. Also with a lot of those body clips if you pull the center pin out too far it almost re-locks the clip. There's somewhat a sweet spot where the clips will easily come out.

10s of thousands of punches on mine I'm retired now. Replaced the punch and spring once.

The pliers that you described as having limited opening are in fact high leverage. I have high leverage knipex 61 01 200 and would have used them to cut straight through the wire you pulled and twisted about. Yet you put the high leverage cutters / pullers aside and used an in appropriate pair of pinchers.
