Re: New Snap Ring Plier Set at Harbor Freight

quote reivertom:

I’ll go out on a limb here and say they are fine if you use them once a year, and need that tool. Most of their tools are OK if you really don’t use them hard. Some are better (or worse) than others and it’s a flip of a coin.

I think that their quality has gotten better over the years….and their prices are gradually rising. I agree that there still is a great variation in their quality.

quote FrankR:

I’ve broken my share of Waldes Truarc Pliers (the "real thing"). So if these break, they are just as good. 😉

I think that "which snap ring pliers are best" ranks right up there with "what brand of TCW-3 is best" when it comes to things that people are….well…."rather opinionated about"

Lately I’ve been reading a lot about snap ring pliers….and even Snap-on gets a mixed bag of reviews.

I’ll throw it out there: Which brand of snap-ring plier is best?
