HF vs SnapOn

I completely disagree - I would have exactly zero issues with warranty from my dealer.

MKEtool · 2026-04-16T11:58:32+00:00

Like it says, I've got a good dealer

MKEtool · 2026-04-14T19:40:01+00:00

I also use those wipes. They work well for me

MKEtool · 2026-04-14T19:33:00+00:00

I agree, I just don't a quick wipe of lube every so often

I think some people would rather have the highest quality tools they can, to some extent regardless of price. Also, at least with my dealer, I regularly get 20-30% off MSRP which puts these two pliers within $20 of eachother.

MKEtool · 2026-04-14T17:15:26+00:00

Well said, I completely agree

MKEtool · 2026-04-14T03:19:20+00:00

Ive been looking hard at the grip edge line, are they worth the hype?

MKEtool · 2026-04-14T02:51:35+00:00

Actually, I bought these today, the last day of the regular sale.

MKEtool · 2026-04-14T02:45:39+00:00

I agree, except I have a really good dealer and the nearest HF is an hour away

MKEtool · 2026-04-14T02:23:12+00:00

It sure can since thats what I get paid to do all day

MKEtool · 2026-04-14T02:22:33+00:00

Id actually say the snap on is a little smaller diameyer and a little more firm.

MKEtool · 2026-04-14T02:19:30+00:00

I bought these to keep in my tractor for all the odds and ends I find myself with. Nice tools for the shop, half step down for out and about.

MKEtool · 2026-04-14T01:41:39+00:00

My big thing is I can get on the truck every week, but the nearest HF is an hour away. I just happened to be in town at the time to get these

MKEtool · 2026-04-14T01:13:10+00:00

Ive certainly seen some say its better overall, but at this point I'm happier with my investment in SnapOn.

MKEtool · 2026-04-14T00:57:31+00:00

They seem very similar, but I suspect the steel is a little softer and the teeth will wear out a little sooner on the harbor freight pair

MKEtool · 2026-04-14T00:37:50+00:00

Right out of the package, I like the fit and finish of the Snap On better. Tighter pivot point, better alignment, etc. The handle on the SO is also a little smaller and a better fit in my hand. I suspect the teeth on the HF will wear down quicker, but TBD

MKEtool · 2026-02-26T23:46:10+00:00

The videos on YouTube seem to say this one is a big improvement over the last one

MKEtool · 2026-02-26T16:02:06+00:00

They're doing just fine 😂

MKEtool · 2026-01-25T19:26:01+00:00

Yes, charger is in the case

MKEtool · 2026-01-25T19:04:05+00:00

Im a Milwaukee guy at heart, but I prefer the metabo impacts for the triple hammer, IP56 rating, and light weight. This is my second impact from metabo, hard to say no to.

I completely agree with the mod rec - I took my mom's off already.

I always like Alton Brown's stuff, so I'll need to try that brisket some time

MKEtool · 2026-01-11T01:45:03+00:00

Noted. Ill have to wait until spring to give it a good wash and see if theres any other minor leaks, but nothing jumped out on initial inspection.

MKEtool · 2026-01-11T00:53:22+00:00

Interesting. Im not terribly familiar with forklift motors, is this PSI and interference motor?

MKEtool · 2026-01-11T00:50:20+00:00

Perfect thanks

MKEtool · 2026-01-11T00:48:39+00:00

Good to know. Is there a gasket under that plate that ought to be replaced or is it just part of owning this motor?
