Great job Jeff! I appreciate my partial tool box of Snap-On tools.
I think many people don't realize that without innovative companies like Snap-On, there wouldn't be all these cheap alternatives like ICON, etc.
Snap-On innovates, competitors copy and imitate. You're paying for quality, service and innovation in the industry.
Nice video Brock!

When he said $63 for one pair of pliers, I was like……NOT HAPPENING…😂😂 I will stick with my icon stuff all day every day. It has never failed me.

[ChesterHedrick-bpjd]

Those high leverage pliers are sweet, cant wait for the icon version to come out

I would like to see a salesman from one of the other tool trucks (MATCO, Cornwell) give a rebuttal.

Bought my first Snap On at age 65. Since I’m retired and doing my own service on a tractor, skid steer, excavator and articulated off road dumper, I have to play mechanic. I love Snap On pliers in particular (and Knipex). I buy Snap On to fill certain spots in my tool line up. But I also have a lot of Tecton, Koken and old Craftsman. I want my sons to inherit a full, high quality tool setup as well.

Snap On’s flank drive wrenches are definitely nice but I will say that I have a set of Milwaukee combination wrenches that have an almost identical anti slip open end and they work just as well when it comes to gripping a fastener

I started buying Snap On tools in the early 1970's when I worked as an auto mechanic. Over the years I purchased pretty much a complete set. Although I changed careers, my Snap On tools & boxes are still in my garage and used frequently!

Howdy Brock! Snap-on tools, for me anyway, fall into the commercial grade. If my livelihood and trade depended on my tools then yes, absolutely worth the cost - to a point. But for middle class YouTube certified shade tree mechanics like myself - not so much. Like you I can see spending the extra $$$ on some hand tools that I use a lot (pliers, strippers, etc), but unless I win the MegaMillions jackpot, I won't be filling my shop with them anytime soon lol. I'm just not their target market for most of their products. Love that they are mostly American made - I do a lot more label reading than I used to. Nicely done 🤠

I own some snap on tools, , great tools... can't buy any snap on tools right now.. saving money for a new tractor, implement about the same price of snap on socket set! 😆. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

I was a heavy duty truck mechanic starting in the late 70’s and i bought a lot of Snap On tools. My starter set was Craftsman. Now i buy most from Harbor Freight or Amazon but I’m not using them professionally. The big selling point for Snap On was the pay while you earn.

[StephenPaul]

Good quality tools? Yes - 100% Can you get similar or even better quality tools for less money? Yes - 100% a large part of the cost of Snap-On is the convenience and service provided by the Snap-On tool trucks. That service isn’t free and everyone pays for it indirectly when they buy the tools. It’s up to each person to decide if that service is worth the additional cost.

[tommylifeisgood]

Very impressive demonstrations! Great video

[jordanstaal]

I’m sticking with Harbor Freight ICON. Got two stores with in 15 minute drive from me in either direction from home, lol. Cost effective for me as I can stop by to warranty a tool on the way home from work.

I am a shade tree mechanic and jack of all trades repair guy at home. So it would be hard for me to justify a full Snap-On tool set. However, I do like to use good tools. Those two sets of pliers he showed have caught my attention. I HATE cheap pliers. I am in my late 50s and most of my hand tools are old made in USA Craftsman and they serve me well. If I worked with tools professionally and had a Snap-on truck visiting on a regular basis, then I could justify buying them. He did a good job explaining the pros of Snap-On without going over the top.

[beckyb]

my main reason was I didn't have to waste my time going out to warranty tools

[philliphall]

It depends on what you use them for
Buy once is great 😊😊😊

[Gods_favorite_white]

Watching this video at work opening the icon tools I just bought

[Tapthatsugershack]

Snap ring pliers from snap-on are the best and the air tools only thing i have bought from snap-on

[brandonm]

For me as a 37 yr old aviation airframe mechanic apprentice, some things absolutely are, the 7" LN46acf talon grip combo long nose all 60 some dollars i paid. Id do it 10x over. Also love the 808cf. All my sockets and current ratchets are tekton.

I've got a crappy dealer that I've tried to get something warranty for 4 weeks. And I've had extremely bad luck with impacts wearing out at the anvil area very fast within months when gearwreach and all others I have used are still in great shape. That's my issue with snap-on
