Snap On Toolbox Tour: The Plier Drawer at Last Best Tool

Pliers are as essential as they are diverse. Doc digs around his plier drawer and shares his favorites. The main brands are Snap On, Klein, Knipex, Wiss, and more Snap On.

Nearly died of laughter when explaining the large slip joints when doc says “if that’s all I’ve got” whilst looking at a drawer of 50 pliers 😂

Best tool channel out right now. Hands down

[@MarcM143]

Tool connoisseur explains his tools. Love it cause your years of experience guide my purchase decisions =)

[@pointbreak8293]

Time for a bigger toolbox doc... time for a Matco or snap on lol...👍👍👍

[@lastbesttool]

Not if my wife has anything to say about it. And of course, she does.

[@ronniejacobsen3000]

Yeah that box way too small... Btw.. man all your tools look brand new... get some character on them tools man!!!

[@Mike-dn4ju]

@@ronniejacobsen3000sometimes when you have multiples of the same tool, the old faithful ones get the heavy use, the newer ones stay crispy longer.

[@robertrada4783]

Thank you. You and I have a lot of the same pliers, but you also have some that I’ve been interested in. The size comparison was quite helpful.

[@ronniejacobsen3000]

Well you got your wish and snap on now makes a talon grip slip joint needle nose!! I love them so much I bought 2 pairs

[@lastbesttool]

Got one pair and another on order! kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2W4aWprYtt4qdE

[@coreymonday1375]

Check out the God hand flush cutters ...for plastic only but a work of art ...it's for making plastic models cutting the part off the main holder

[@TechMay]

Holy plier drawer!! I need to play catch up

[@chiphill4856]

Love ur approach and detailed analysis!

[@drengskap]

Hey Doc, I have a question! One of the pliers in your drawer that you didn't mention was what looks like some Endura cable cutters with asymmetric handles. What's your experience with those? I've just bought a pair for cutting bike cables - they were pretty cheap, so I'm wondering how they hold up over time. I was attracted by the forged handles, as opposed to the folded sheet metal handles on most bike cable cutters, though I'm not a convert to the asymmetric shape as yet.

[@joshsworld8219]

You should do more tool box tours or a updated tour. I would really appreciate that video

[@thirdeyesamuel886]

Great video! Thoughts on knipex handles, specifically the multi-component variant?

[@granitebuilt5836]

For a triple joint plier, what would be your 2nd pick if you couldn't get a Snap-On?

[@lastbesttool]

The largest pair is truly breathtaking. And they would make it on my shortlist of tools if I could only have a few.

[@granitebuilt5836]

@Last Best Tool Thanks. As a follow up, what brand/model could you suggest if I cannot find or afford the Snap-On triple joint plier?

[@renesalinas9491]

evr tried the new slipjoint from knipex?

[@brettwalkom948]

Should check out tsunoda pliers they're Japanese..

[@renesalinas9491]

I'll have a look. You should give a look to Knipex

[@brettwalkom948]

@@renesalinas9491 yeah I've got plenty of knipex

[@addicted2tools]

I just bought some yesterday they are awesome 👌

[@renesalinas9491]

What for you use the lineman? They aren't popular in germany. Germans are more likely to use the komby pliers. I use more side cuters and Kobra.

[@biggorilla1999]

God the one thing I can’t stand about the snap on tools made in Spain is that the handle colours are different. I have the same spring loaded needle nose and the red is a darker shade while it looks like this green is a tad bright. Real shame

[@masoodamg6633]

👍👍👍👏👏👏

[@RcFlyer49]

Talon slip joint needle nose, you ask? (14:00) Now we have the LN47ACF's!

[@johncorder2912]

All your pliers look brand new. Do you even use your tools bro?

[@aplaceholderbplaceholder9524]

Start a channel called the pliers documentary channel.

[@kamrankureshi5615]

My 40 year old snap on micro needle nose pliers has pretty lousy workmanship. Honest.

[@kamrankureshi5615]

How nationalistic....

[@michaelsang2738]

wasted your money three pliers would have done .

[@michaelsang2738]

I work for a living and use my tools, they dont look like yours.I do not give a shit what you say . If you can spend that much money on tools, home made rubber bands are not an issue. Miss use off the plier what a lot off crap, if it does the job you use it.

[@jeremyjohnson9551]

Hey ass hat, what you all pressed about? He doesn't need your permission to buy new tools. Some folks are literally so consumed with jealousy that they can't stand it. It's his money he can waste it if he wants to. Hell, he can put it in a big pile and set it on fire if he chooses to. I like seeing all his stuff, so take that jelly somewhere else.

[@robertcasey3528]

It's for show
