Best Long Nose Pliers - 7” & 9” Snap-On Talon Grip Long Nose Pliers

[@watertriton]

Great to see snap on innovating again I love my pair.

[@projectpinehills]

Glad you like them! I do as well. Thanks for watching! 👍

[@slayerment]

Beautiful, useful tools. The 7" are my go to plier.

[@projectpinehills]

Same here! Thanks for watching! 👍

[@jeffasmus5158]

Worth every penny, for both

[@projectpinehills]

Thanks for commenting! They are nice!

[@bigpicturethinking5620]

I own a LOT of tools. More than many believe when I tell them and then they see it. I only own one snap on tool and it’s the 9 inch version of these pliers. Worth every penny. Getting the 7 asap.

[@projectpinehills]

Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!

[@PK-zf9wm]

Do you think the 9 inch is the way to go for your first set? Or do you regret buying 9 inch before 7s?

[@bigpicturethinking5620]

@@PK-zf9wm So I actually bought the 7inch ones shortly after I left my comment. For my preference if I could only have 1 it would be the 9inch and I would buy it first again. I suppose it depends on your intended use, but I have other pliers that could manage what the smaller ones do but none that could match the larger pair. And I have an obscene collection of pliers for a DIY guy.

[@projectpinehills]

@@PK-zf9wm Depends on the use, If I had to get one, it would be the 7”. Thanks for watching! 👍

[@watertriton]

After years of not innovating, it’s really nice to see him come out with something like this. I love my pair ironically use them for pulling fuses today and then I saw the video afterwards. Good for pulling. I’m not so good. Putting them back in.

[@marcotacoburgerful]

Great review! I got the set, and I'm still discovering features on all of them.i found that the needle nose ones are great to pull worn-out screws, nails or bolts from tires so i stuck them in my plugs bag

[@projectpinehills]

Thank you. Those are some great examples. Except grip on them. Thanks for watching!

[@MyKnifeJourney]

I got the 46 because the smaller size works better for me. Great comparison. Ty

[@projectpinehills]

I use the 7” the most, they are handy. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching! 👍

[@yetthejet]

I do believe that Snap-on is one of the highest quality of tools out there. And a purchaser will pay for a quality tool that will last for a while. But as a simple DIYer. I can’t afford it. For a professional working in the automotive industry, they could probably afford them and it would be used throughout the mechanics career. But I can’t justify for myself the cost. If I had the resources to purchase Snap-on, I probably would. However, I’m sure these pliers are of the highest quality. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@projectpinehills]

Thanks for the feedback. They do cost more and they are USA made but all tools end up benefiting in the long run as we see new ideas develop. Thanks for watching!

[@christianhansen2555]

My 7”s line up perfectly and have no play, but I picked up the best pair on the truck the other one had play

[@projectpinehills]

Thanks for commenting. Nice when you can choose a pair!

[@andrewscott8892]

You are one of the only other people I've heard actually refer to this type of pliers by the correct term of long nose pliers and not needle nose pliers. Most use the two terms interchangeably which they aren't

[@projectpinehills]

lol, Yes I noticed how the manufacturers referred to them. Thanks for watching!

[@PrimeToolbox]

I wish Knipex could come out with a "copy" of these pliers, because snap-on isn't available in my country.

[@projectpinehills]

It would be interesting to see a Knipex design of this.

[@narutobroken]

I wish harbor freight would rip these off for an icon variant

[@projectpinehills]

They probably can't because they are new and the patent probably has not expired. I'm sure they would if they could. They are very popular. Thanks for commenting and watching!

[@DenyTheZeitgeist]

Soon hopefully. No truck near me and I’m not paying for ridiculous shipping charges so I can get a pair of pliers for a hundred dollars.

[@FreddysCarsaAndChaos]

Coming spring….

[@DownHillgamer]

Your wish is their command lol

[@projectpinehills]

Yes I saw that!

[@louisdefunes8952]

I think the Snap-On(Talon grip) is the best. The shape, the grip etc. Yeah..not cheap; but for so many years..(so than it's "cheap").. I gonna buy one.

[@projectpinehills]

They are nice. Great way for snap-on to attract new customers. Thanks for watching! 👍

[@brandonmaynard8313]

They have a baby set now! Just came out in a set of 3 pliers. I paid 120 for the set off the truck. Love every size

[@projectpinehills]

I saw they have a 4” now. Appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching!

[@OTEP1234567891011]

4:45: "I thought that was a marketing gimmick at first". Uhhh. Yeah, man. It is. lol. KZbin user DIY Diesel released a video where he does the coin test literally with a 8 dollar pair of Pittsburgh needle nose from Harbor Freight. lol. Those Snap-On pliers are worth every single penny. But they are not unique in gripping precision as is evident by DIY Diesel's video. It's their pattern of tooth design on the inside gripping that's worth marketing, not the fact they can pick up a coin. lul. Anyway, good video. Keep up the good work. You've got a new subscriber. The video I'm talking about is titled "ICON Pliers (Coin Test) Will They Perform Like Snap-On Pliers??? (Suggested to Buy Snap-On LN47ACF)"

[@projectpinehills]

I saw that video. I'm sure it's a marketing move and apparently a good one lol. I agree on the tooth design. Thanks for commenting and thanks for watching!

[@imbowser]

my large ones don’t line up exactly either. one of those things i guess kind of random

[@projectpinehills]

I guess so. I called them and they sent me another pair that were looser but they have some play. Thanks for watching!

[@benjaminmasters5375]

When are they gonna release the 7 inch in green? They have in red but I fancy the green more

[@projectpinehills]

Good Question, I think they are having trouble keeping up with demand.

[@dbcooperfpv9883]

Needed a better long nose, bought the 4" & 7"; wasn't impressed out of the box fit/finish vs like a Knipex, didn't see the add'l value until I started using them... 🤯I genuinely hate how much better they grip and am mad at myself for not trying them sooner. I think for me, the 6" needle nose talon grip will be the goldy-locks tool for the task... [clicking add to cart]

[@projectpinehills]

I was not super impressed with the fit and finish as well. But I called Snap-On and they sent me another pair that were better and let me keep the original. I used them yesterday, they work great. Thanks for taking the time to post!

[@Mando98]

I really like the shorter ones but I’ve yet to find my local snap on truck! I assume HF is only making the longer ones just like they did with the knipex pliers wrench icon 10 inch version. Once HF makes the 4 inch cobras and pliers wrench, they’ll probably take a lot of sales there.

[@projectpinehills]

I saw that Harbor Freight has one coming out and you are probably right, probably just the larger version will be available. 👍

[@toddhoskins4196]

Wondering what the groves are for..

[@projectpinehills]

Groves?

[@toddhoskins4196]

@@projectpinehills yup. The pair I have there are grooves at the very top that go up the side and back of the very top. I'm thinking they may be for bending a loop for electrical connections. Maybe they don't all have them..

[@tonycroteau9264]

Great video great pliers

[@projectpinehills]

Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!

[@vicktorpatriot1430]

I was looking at getting both the 9 and 7 inch versions and looking on Snap on website I noticed they didn't give a price or availability on the site for the 7 inch but a note to contact your dealer. Now sevthe red 7 inch only on the website. Seeing the play or mis-alignmen of the 7 inch on your video wonder if they have a manufacturing problem/ , Quality control issue

[@projectpinehills]

They had 3 colors in the 7" last week with the orange and green on backorder and now they only list the red. Hard to tell what's typical without having more samples of the tool. Thanks for commenting and watching!

[@roscomcfarland204]

I’ve got the smaller ones and the fact that they don’t line up bothers me to no end. $80 for misaligned jaws

[@projectpinehills]

Yeah I’d like them tighter. Best bought on the Snap-On truck. Thanks for watching and commenting! 👍

[@danielwalker331]

is it 7 inches??? thanks

[@projectpinehills]

I show both of them. 7 1/4”. Thanks for watching!

[@danielwalker331]

thanks

[@projectpinehills]

Yeah I forgot to measure the 7", good catch! lol

[@EvLSpectre]

Its a decent plier, but I honestly grab some no names I use just as often. The coin grab trick to me is just a trick, do not think I have had anything to were these will magically hold and others won't. Just because its usually already to heavy or stuck somewhere I cannot get that angle to do so. Fit and finish, yea its usual snap on, pretty dam good for a pair of pliers, and instant pitting even doing oil rub downs after use.

[@projectpinehills]

Agreed. The crosshatching does really improve the grip as well as the slip joint. USA Milwaukee pliers also have great crosshatching grip on long nose pliers. Thanks for watching. 👍

[@EvLSpectre]

@@projectpinehills It does do a good job at that extra grip under other circumstances. I have a few from knipex and vamplier. I think our of the slip joint style it's my favorite because of the 3 positions instead of the usual 2.

[@KittySN]

I can see some benefit to having a nose that's more acute. It's a feature, not a bug! But shame they're designed squared, marked among the highest price points, and ground so poorly.

[@projectpinehills]

I talked to Snap-On, they said they’d likely send me a replacement. Thanks for commenting!

[@kevindavis6042]

These have replaced my needle nose for many applications If I could only have two pairs I would have the cutters and a pair of these

[@projectpinehills]

The 9” I’m guessing or the 7”?

[@kevindavis6042]

@@projectpinehills either

[@projectpinehills]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@kevindavis6042]

@@projectpinehills I would also recommend the 10" knipex cobra Bare in mind that this is for the absolute minimum/starter set

[@projectpinehills]

I agree

[@DenyTheZeitgeist]

I had a pair for a bit from eBay because snap on is crazy with their shipping, but yeah, fit and finish is meh from the few I’ve seen around

[@projectpinehills]

Thanks for sharing and watching! 👍

[@jeffwolf8018]

I'm very close I'm picking up a set of these. You just can't have one and not the other.. one of the very few pliers outside of Knipex that I consider buying.. buy once cry once. Generally you never need the warranty. Put rest assured they're all warrantied forever..

[@projectpinehills]

They are unique. Thanks for watching!

[@glenmclendon9209]

I can pick a nickle up off the floor with the snap on pliers .

[@projectpinehills]

Good for you! Keep it up 😁

[@bRad-ns6iy]

Sold! Take my money!

[@projectpinehills]

I do lIke them and I see Harbor Freight is going to copy them next year. They displayed them at a trade show this year.

[@bRad-ns6iy]

@@projectpinehills I just picked up a pair form the truck. I can try them out tomorrow. We don't have Harbour freight in Canada unfortunately.

[@DownHillgamer]

Man! My ln46acf are awesome but the cutters dont cut for shitt they were machined over too far and barely make contact which sucks cause all my other slip joints cut just fine even tho its kinda a caveman tool for makimg cuts but might try to warranty. My dealer is cool. And i like the orange pair might get a 47 pair in orange or power blue

[@projectpinehills]

Good deal, hope the warranty works out. 👍
