Justin Dow always coming through! I am approaching the 2 year mark in my automotive career and my buddy who would always let me borrow his more specialty tools like this just left the shop to go work for Rivian, so I have to buy my own set now. I'm currently on the fence between the Snap-On (student discount) and Lang set. This video definitely helped me make a better decision. Thank you for always sharing your knowledge and experience 🙏🏼
great video man! i just broke my craftsman ones i bought in high school so i upgraded to the SK set you have listed here and love them! i got them for around $170 since my shop has an account with auto value parts store and they are an SK dealer! They warranty them as well! i just send the broken ones back with the parts driver and they give me a new pair! I love SK tools! they hold up well and have lifetime warranty! I cant recommend them enough! They cost less then Snap-On and Matco! so dont be afraid to buy them! also i do love Lang stuff as well! i have both the tread restore kit and the slack adjuster tools and they are great! both Lang and SK have helped me to get great tools without racking up tool truck debt! Cheers Man!
Cheers Brother!
You crewed up at 16:18 knipex does offer both eternal and external in the larger size you just needed to move the mouse down a bit
I have the snap-on just like you have,new version it now has a push button just like a ratchet head. They are awesome. No play or flex.
Great vid! Like how you showed all of the options outside the tool truck brands.
Solid vid there guy. Some guided research rather than a commercial like most "review" videos
Great video. I enjoy all your videos. Thanks for the ongoing content
I have both the snap on set and lang set they are both made by lang identical set same manufacturer markings lang is half the price or less. Knipex I have used a co worker has that set they are perhaps a bit less universal as others so buy the complete set so you have all of them you need. That being said the knipex set is the best set in my opinion very well made and sturdy with no flexing. Lang, snap on, Cornwall excellent choice they all appear to be manufactured by the same company and are identical.
Very informative. Thank you.
Older video but I'm looking to replace a set I've had for years just worn down n filed down garbage now .. Thanks for the video n links.
As always I injoy you’re videos and learn something new
Thanks again Justin. Always appreciate the links and research you've put into your tools. Again, here in Canada, we don't get the range of tool competitors. Fortunately we have Princess Auto for the heavy duty stuff thats expensive, but will get you by for the time being. Ive been buying lots of tools of the Mac truck lately, cause he's the most consistent one to come by my shop, and they have some very comparable stuff to snap-on at about 75% the cost. I was kind of choked today though, and wanted to ask you about their products. I went use my Mac pick set for the first time today, and the grip slipped off first tug, then the screw on metal handle under it was loose! I was kind of choked cause I went ahead and thread locked all the threaded handles on tight, then glued the handles on after that...got em all perm-snug but was my first disappointment with Mac to date. I wasn't sure if I heard it in one of your videos, about Mac "re-branding", but it opened my eyes to the fact that no "one" tool company can really do it all, as Ive seen you prove it in your videos. Anyhow, wonder if you could give me your quick 2 cents on Mac...if you have them down there. Im just the guy who absolutely hates anything crap, and believes it should be a crime to manufacture it. I know I won't choose the best tools the first time, but am gonna try damn hard to!! Or if anyone else has some input, Id much appreciate it! PS. I have a friend in Germany who is gonna buy some German tools and ship em here to try out!! Stoked!
Cheers! Chris
Rock On! You might like the upload that I'm shooting tonight, but I will try and do a personal video for you on my overall thoughts of MAC tools over the weekend. Sorry you had some recent trouble with their product. Cheers my brother!
Your video has helped me on what selection of snap ring pliers to look for since this will be my first and maybe the only one I'll need to purchase.👨🔧👍#Thanks #JustinDow
I just picked up a pair from Tractor Supply that has three separate heads that are all interchangeable different angles for about 10 bucks made by Erwin with a lifetime guarantee just so I can finish up at this ball joint job on this Jeep I figured I could use a set you never know when you going to need them but I will say they do seem fairly well made
Matco also has a set made by Knipex,the tips are much stronger.A lot more money.Their other snap ring pliers are made in Taiwan,my dad bought a pair when we had Matco come in,said made in Taiwan on them
Great video thanks brother. Like the video keep up the great work see in the next video thanks again brother
Yeah I really enjoyed this video I’m a new technician and I was going to buy the Knpix ones and I think I’m gonna go to the lying ones so I really like this video so I hope you do more of these
If money isnt a issue i always recommend knipex. I have alot of Lang stuff since big brands rebrand them but knipex is top notch
Hey man thanks for the video. Really appreciate the detail. Stay safe my friend.
I Really would like You to tell me the brand of the one You showed after the Snap on, The ones You said they are for fine work, That is the one I am looking for. Thanks
Just used e clips tonight. Lots of different types.
I got in a "debate" in the comment section of a video about 1/4 drive socket sets the other day. I was slammed for suggesting that $750 for the Snap-On set was a bit absurd and not an indication of increased "quality" relative to the astronomical price. To the degree that all of the "tool truck" brands actually rebrand and mark up various tools like Lang, paying that 50-100 percent markup seems unwise. I realize the previously mentioned 1//4" drive socket set is not rebranded. The point is that the price(s) of a lot of this stuff is simply far too high. And a lot of times the actual quality isn't really there. Snap ring pliers are a great example. Personally the only ones that I have found that consistently work and don't break, aren't fiddly to work with, and have the warranty (which is always the last stand taken by the tool truck price defenders on the internet) is Knipex. I have found the the Channelock ones are good also, though changing the tips is a bit fiddly and the tool itself is sometimes a bit large for the job.
What is the most common snap ring size? I see they come in all different sizes.. I’m so lost..
Cal hawk is actually a pretty good set
Hello I'm a newbie to this. But I have a pair of what looks like snap ring pliers but, it has a spring in between them but the tip of this is shaped like small rectangles. Can you tell me what kind of tool it is.
Imperial makes those and a newer style as well
they make one of the snap on sets too. And the Mac mini wire stripper set
Do a tool on sale catalog video cornwell and matco compare prices and quality
My cornwell dealer says Lang makes their snap ring and hose clamp pliers
Could you have filed down the ends of the HF set to make them fit? If so it would save quite a lot of money.
I tried to save the money and wasn't worth the aggravation HF is useless buy a quality set you'll thank yourself
Say what you want about Langs "Gimmicky" switch sets but my sets been through hell and back without fail. I wore two sets of tips out and I can buy tip sets online or swing in my local Napa and get them since Lang makes Napa & Channel Lock both & for $15 I have an all new ready to work tool set all over again. I never lost my screw/tips yet mine always stay tight but Id just use Loctite if I did get a screw that backs off in one so it stays tighter. I just put my tips/Allen tool in my pocket inside a pill container and tool in my bag or pocket. Very convenient tittle tool set.
All those big kits are fancy, I had a few but break a tip (and you will break tips) so your SOL and you must go buy a new expensive tool/set again. They aren't cheap and most kits don't even sell individual pliers!
Oh' btw, Lang snap ring pliers are Made in USA with very good steel unlike most others today that are made in China with that junk China steel. Just say'n...
Great vid Justin. I am a DIY'er just looking for a decent little set or a single convertible pliers. Any thoughts on the Quinn from HF?
No go bought a set for the junkyard. They did what I needed them to but nowhere as nice as my lang or knipex.
Dont buy save your knuckles and well being and buy a quality set
Why did you not remove and replace a snap ring to show how to do it?
You ever try the Harbor freight Icon brand snap ring pliers?
Yes dont bother driving to harbor freight. Just throw your cash in the garbage to save the gas money ...worthless set not worth the aggravation.
I was curious about the HF icon line also since it isn't supposed to be the typical cheap flimsy junk. The icons are priced much much higher so had hoped the quality was better. I know HF compares it to snap on, which seems like a joke but wondered if anyone had used them and has an unbiased opinion. Icon "apprars" to be a better machine line when you pick it up and look at it. Whether it works and holds up is a different story.
Ok it's two different type Plyers old plumbing Appliances Retainers have no holes on clips.
the ones from harbor freight , was it the icon branded ones that are $50 ?
I believe so.
New snap on is a quick release instead of screw. Much nicer. Push button and change
Those langs for 249, it was a 2 pack
Unfortunately, this didn't show the tool in actual use. This would have been MUCH more helpful. Sadly, therefore, this was not EVERYTHING I wanted to know about snap ring pliers.
What would you like to know. I could do better at explaining it if i knew the information you were looking for please and thanks
@@JustinDowDIYcentralhighway I simply wanted to see you actually use the tool to install and remove a snap ring. It would also have been useful to show how it it used when the ring is inside as well as outside. You could also show when you need to use a snap ring tool which has a right-angle attachment. What about large snap rings? Do you need a different tool, or can you adapt a small tool? How about automotive snap rings? Do they require a stronger, bigger tool?
I can go on, but the point is, you really didn't provide much information that I could use when actually doing the work.
I was disappointed to find out that Binford didn’t make these.
They do part number 112 55787 call 1800 899 3580 ask for Lon Burnt he's my go to guy.
We know tool it's the Retainer Clips that gives us problems.
But you did not add the link for the set cornwell or whatever the fuck is called online
Look up Lang 3595
If you have trouble on wing nuts like you complained about in the video you can use an adujustable wrench to break it loose next time.
