Thanks for your help so far, folks. It is really appreciated. Right now today I am trying really hard to sort out so many tools, and decide what to keep and what to sell. Of course, I like it all, but I need to generate a little cash flow, and I just do not have the room to keep everything. So by figuring out the relative value (in both $$ and in usefullness), I am better equipped to make good decisions. And I cannot think of a better-equipped group of people to give me advice than the Garage Journal crew! :thumbup:

Following photos are of a new, unopened Blue Point Snap Ring Pliers Set. I could not find them on the Snap On website, so I have no idea what they would be priced at as new. I have several sets of snap ring pliers, but I am torn about whether to get rid of the others, or keep this set.

In your opinions, are the Blue Point Snap Ring pliers of better quality than say, Craftsman units? :confused: I am an amateur ONLY, and do not use my tools every day.

They are definitely USA-made Snap On Blue Point tools, as marked.

This photo shows the sizes included in the set:

Once again, I really appreciate any advice you folks can offer. :thumbup:

I have those and I find I use my Craftsman pair more often. The blue point pliers seem a little loose/sloppy.

I'm taking transmission classes at school right now and I am pretty sure I've used about every set of SR pliers on the market out of frustration.
The only set I have found that I liked is the Knipex set. They're sooooo nice.
But, you have those, so keep them! Unless you use SR pliers a lot, no reason to change!
