Just got the replacement pliers and it seems they can make them correctly.

Sorry, I don't know how I did the above (quoting with no reply) and can't figure out how to delete it.

They are sending me a new pair, so we'll see.

They agreed it's not acceptable and that they will send a new one. They said they don't want the misaligned pliers back and to dispose of them.

If you are asking me (the OP) then the answer is the pictures show it on the smallest setting.

Yeah, I guess I know that but since it's a three position plier I thought maybe the geometry was such that they had to make a choice as to what position the jaws should align. Making a call to customer service. Thanks.

Brand new pliers, aquired through the Snap-on website. Gonna go out on a limb and say this isn't the way it's supposed to be? On the widest setting, the tips seem to align. Is this normal for these pliers? Sorry if this seems like a stupid question.

A little late and you may already know this but Snap-on has 5 inch regular and 6.5 inch needlenose locking pliers that are Snap-on branded but look exactly like the Malco Eagle Grips on their website. Problem is they are $80-$82.

It looks like painted sand.

It's too precise to be an error. 2ndGearRubber and Tools4Me seem to have the answer, but thanks for the reply.

Whew! At least my memory was correct. Thanks for this info.

Thanks for addressing the milled corners. I noticed them but didn't pay much attention. They do seem like stress relief cuts.

That makes a lot of sense to me at least. Thanks!
