I I had seen that on social media. Truth be told, I’ve had these Toptul sets since the first half of 2024 but just got around to posting. Thanks

Arrivals from Wren Hand Tools. With all the hype I see regularly for the Icon meme tool bit set, I figured I would share some alternative options from Toptul for anyone wishing the set came with sockets. Smaller Toptul is GADW2701. Larger is GADW4501

I don’t think these have been posted before so I’ll add them. The Snap On WBSET wire brush set appears to be the made in the same Cambodian factory as the Richard 03234 available from Sutherlands. The Snap On retails for about $20 and the Richard for about $6. Granted, the Snap On set contains...

Good point. Unfortunately, it seems that for what people want on ebay, it’s still a bit cheaper too buy them from Snap On with $23 shipping. I do agree though, that is ridiculously overpriced shipping.

You might just want to buy them straight from Snap Ons website. It seems they bring a premium on ebay from what I’ve seen.

Truthfully, I haven't used them much for hex fasteners. I think they will work better than serrated jaws but nowhere near as well at the correct socket/wrench.

The Snap On that I posted are a bit different as they are their "FlankJaw Pliers." The idea is that they can grip a hex bolt without damaging it. Snap on does offer a pair that have the same serrations in the lower part of the jaws like the Icon, I just don't have them. I hope this is what you...

The package reads "Designed by Icon Tools in the USA - Manufactured in Taiwan."

I am really interested to see if they come out with a pair like the LN47ACF.

Icon left, Snap On right. I wasn’t suggesting that the Icon is of superior quality, I just feel that the finish looks better than the Snap On. I do appreciate the information regarding the difference in the manufacturing process.

I got my hands on a set today. This isn’t a direct comparison as my Snap On are the HJ47ACP instead of the 47ACP but close enough to get an idea. I have posted the flush cuts for comparison before but figured I’d do them again. With both pairs of pliers, it honestly appears that the dimensions...

These appear to be new from Icon and much like the flush cuts I have, appear to be a very close, if not direct copy of the Snap On 3 position slip joint pliers. I’m curious if anyone here has got their hands on them and if anyone has anything to report on them. I was going to buy a set to...

New Snap On FCF72 and THLLF72 (custom 3/8" conversion) ratchets.

Hopefully, Mike will be okay with me adding this here. Here is the faceplate installed on the THLLF72 that has been converted to 3/8” drive. A+++ on the machining Mike. It was a perfect fit. For comparison from left to right FCF72, F80, and the THLLF72 conversion.
