Snap-On Talon Grip Long Nose Slip Joint Pliers: best tool ever or over priced gimmick?

[@philchristmas4071]

Love the talon grips. Snap on did well with these.

I just go ahead and get $250 and get the free shipping. It is what it is I guess

[@RileyKnifeandTool]

I suppose on one hand, it's not difficult to spend $250 on snap-on tools. I just didn't need/want anything else at the time.

I got these of the web site, they were both in stock and ordered at the same time but came in separate plastic bags and was charged two lots of shipping 😤

[@RileyKnifeandTool]

Yeah, their shipping protocol is asinine. Lots of room for improvement for sure.

[@mikescully3096]

I too was disappointed in how they were shipped when I got mine… Thanks for your video!

[@RileyKnifeandTool]

Thanks for watching.

Infamous means well known for a bad quality reason or action. I think you probably mean just famous or well known. Nice pliars, I am looking forward to getting some. Thanks for posting your video. The 7" pair here in Australia are $138 and the 9" are $152. That's bananas but I think I will buy a pair anyway. I'm curious to see if there's anything to the hype. I doubt I'll ever buy another Snapon tool. Knipex are much more reasonably priced here but it will be interesting to give these a go.

I think the infamous part is the high tool truck prices not any bad quality. That’s the only rift I see from people. Some mechanics will defend them to the end while others would never spend that kind of money. To each his own, spend your money how you please.

I do apartment maintenance these are amazing you’ll grab these over most other pliers but the only thing is the cutter is not the greatest I would say that’s for solid wire anything else you won’t get a clean one time cut but for pulling plugs and wire terminals and water connections they are amazing my go to pair I have the 47’s

[@RileyKnifeandTool]

These thing are great for cutting and pulling baling wire. I’ve definitely been putting them to use.

[@tdhall81]

I've been looking hard at these

[@RileyKnifeandTool]

They’re tempting tools for sure! Clearly they finally won ME over. Hahah

I got the 7 inch and they are amazing. Thay actually just released a 4.5" version too to make an edc pair, I'm about to get those too!
