Help ID snap on slip joint pliers model number

[oldschoolcraft]

I have seen these come up on several of Doc‘s Last Best Tool videos, and he never says the number, doesn’t zoom in on it and I can’t find them in the snap on catalog so maybe they’re discontinued. Can anyone ID the model number

It's in the pic you posted. HL138ACP

It's also the name of the video the pic is from I believe.

Thanks! I screenshot that myself from his “level up your pliers” video. And then saw it come up in several other plier videos without attribution. What do you guys think of these pliers?

I don't have them. I love my 47acf and 96acf ( regular slip joint and needle nose).

Snap on has the best old school pliers maybe ever made.

But I really can't see too much point in some high force regular pliers. I most often use them just on small spring hose clamps and generally if I need much more force it's going to be knipex or or vise grips.

Unless you're regularly spinning something that no tool fits, in a confined space Idk if I see the use really.

That said, there have been a handful of things I didn't know I needed until I had them.
Maybe I'd grab them first just to make me have to squeeze less...idk.

A few years back Snap On changed a lot of their pliers to that type of handle that in my opinion is much harder to grip. The handles are further apart than the old school ones. Maybe if you have huge hands they would be ok ?

I had an old set of snap ring pliers and the center screw hole was worn out. They warrantied them with a new set that has that type of handle and I hate it Fortunately we did not have a local truck guy when I had them swapped out and Snap On said they did not want the old ones back. I actually put a small helicoil in them and fixed them. The new ones are collecting dust.
