Are Diamond Brand Tools Still Available?

[Art From De Leon]

Snap on no longer lists the CDA46CP angle nosed pliers, and I have found that Diamond made these to be sold under the Blue Point label.

I am really no fan of farmer type pliers, but these, with the thin, angled nose, are very handy, when I do choose to use something other than my Knipex Cobra/Alligator pliers.

You can find some used and nos stuff on eBay and HJE even has some, but the pliers are tough.
Here's some info on them though - http://alloy-artifacts.org/diamond-calk-horseshoe.html

There's a pair on eBay by Blue Point for $15.99. Better got on it before it's gone.

I have a few diamond adjustable wrenches and are great quality.

Thanks for the information. I bought the pair of Klein pliers that were listed.

That old boy from Canuckistan is certainly proud of his NOS Billings, isn't he?

For what it's worth, those Klein you got appear to have diamond-texture grips which indicate that they were likely produced by Diamond Tool under contract with Klein (a re-brand production).

Bought 3 pair of Diamond water pump pliers, a Diamond fence pliers, a Dimalloy 8" & 10" adjustable wrench, and a pair of Klein lineman pliers on an estate sale last night.
$12 for all.
LOVE Diamond stuff!

Also, there seems to be some attempt to bring the brand back, but the made in China **** bearing this once-proud name is nothing but an insult to the original.
