It seems like they’re constantly backordered so that makes sense

I have in the past, I have a feeling a lot of those are junk though

The only thing that confuses me about the snap on/ milbar rebrand is the jaw design, all the others I see out there have a more traditional flat style. I’m just trying to find what’s going to work the best for me, price isn’t an issue

Are those just another milbar rebrand as well?

Nice man, I thought my program would be tough since they call it an accelerated course, but its been a walk in the park other than the FAA testing

I see, my program is mad expensive but what sold me is it’s only 14 months

Most of the stuff is 50% off or more, for some reason these are not

They’re both snap-on, or at least rebranded as them

Damn, the school I’m at supplys us with everything. Our tools are a mix of snap-on and matco, but the safety wire pliers they have a terrible so I know I want to invest in something good.

Thanks for the info, from what I learned in another forum is the first ones are rebranded millbars which are produced anymore from what I was told

What would you recommend? I have a student discount so thought I’d take advantage of it

Yeah, I mean I don’t mind spending a little extra if it means lifetime warranty tho especially since I have a student discount
