Difference between 47CF and 137CF?

[RKA]

Can anyone tell me what's the difference between these slip joint pliers other than the cutter on the 137's? I'm having a hard time telling by looking at Snap On's website.

One is heavy-duty other one isn't? (cold forged)

The 47 is shorter then the 137, I think both have cutters.

The slight length difference is all, I think. Don't quote me tho.

Difference between 47CF and 137CF? About 90CF.

The detailed description showed a 1/16" difference in length (which is what I saw at first and questioned), but the description in the title would indicate it's closer to an inch. Went with the 137's, since this is the sort of tool I'll abuse anyway (maybe heavy duty actually means something?).

porphyre, very cute, but keep your day job.

Thanks! That's more or less exactly what's on the website. Is the 7/16" jaw length on the 47CF really correct? That doesn't make sense to me on an 8" set of slip joints. The 137CF is 2 3/32", which would seem more plausible.

im sure there is a number wrong somewhere
im out of stock or i would measure for you

That's okay, at this point I'm asking for curiosity's sake more than anything. I already put the order in for the 137CF. Thanks again!

Got the 137CF yesterday. Man what a great set of pliers! The teeth on the tip mesh together so they can bite anything no matter how thin. That cross hatch pattern is great...no longer matters which way I'm pulling, it will still bite. The teeth in the middle of the jaws are sharp as well. No significant side to side slop like I'm used to on my old craftsman pros. This is definitely one of those tools I wish I had gotten a very long time ago rather than futzing around with mediocre slip joints!
