[daveblank]

I was on the Snap On truck earlier & really liked these. I picked up a pair. Snappy part number PWCS7

It appears that this item is currently not available. To bad they look good to me

Those are nice but not new, several threads about them here.
I've got an orange set myself.

My driver has them on his truck. I may get them because I realized my only strippers are for solid wire.

They are nice. I picked up a green set after reading an earlier post on this site.

You were on a Snap-on truck? There's gotta be some irony there.

Gotta get what I need somewhere.

Nothing against Snap On but do they make them in any other brands? I would buy a pair if they were Klein. Plus, IDK how big your paws are but those look small, can you get good leverage to crimp connects like you can with Klein?

I got a set a month ago after the thread on this forum. Haven't used them yet.

Apparently they are still out there to be bought. IDK why SO would quit making something that is that popular.

My paws are small. I wear a medium glove. These will be perfect for tight spots. The buses I work on are wiring nightmares.

I find the stripping in the middle causes me problems,My Klein's strip at the tip, much better for short wires. The crimping side looks really good!

 

[knocker]

I've had a pair for about 2 yrs now, my go to wire strippers. Yes they are quite small and it comes in handy getting in tight spots. But yet there's a lot of leverage when crimping. Anyone know why SO stopped production?

 

[ericg]

how much are they going for off the SO truck?

 

[jeffmoss26]

I've also got Klein, Channellock, and T&B versions.

 

[bsaint]

Ive only seen SO this style

I've been using these as my crimpers... http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item...roup_ID=675137&store=snapon-store&dir=catalog

Kind of a bummer, I had a good pair of crimpers shaped like a T. those were nice but the handles bent on me and I couldn't get the full crimp, so the snappy guy gave me the ones in the link for warranty. for strippers I've always used an older pair I've had for a while.

List was $43 I paid $40

 

[71goldss]

I ordered mine off SO's website for $42 on 11/17 after seeing them on the other thread also. One of my very rare impulse purchases and glad I did now that it appears they've stopped production. I'm extremely happy with them so far!

 

[hickmlg09]

Nice, I tend to stay away from the books and truck at school. Get a discount, but I don't want to end up going broke quite yet.

 

[transittech]

I've found they don't actually crimp all that well on the insulated dies due to the stop for the wire stripper. Really small and super handy though.

 

[greasemonkey44]

i use the hell out of mine; they are very handy for in a dash
i do agree with transittech sometimes they made bad crimps on insulated terminals; i might grind my stops down to help with that
my snappy driver thought i was crazy when i asked about them and has sold 50 pairs since i told him about them

Thanks Dave. I was able to get a new red pair on eBay for $46.98 including shipping. Not bad considering that they are not available on the SO website.

 

[MachYou]

Hoping to get a pair today when the SO truck stops at my friends work. I've found them on eBay for $55-60 or included in the 3 piece plier set

 

[jeffmoss26]

Try PWCS7CF as the part #.

Jeff, your number works on the SO website. What is the difference between the
PWCS7 and the PWCS7CF?

Thanks......

Eric

 

[plinker]

One of the guys at work has a set, to me they seem kinda small for a 12-10 insulated terminal, do they work ok on those?

 

[jeffmoss26]

I don't know of any difference, probably just changed the part number is my guess.

 

[MachYou]

Aside from the new part number only difference is they are $1 cheaper. They are now $42
