Snap on 47cf slip joint disappointment?

[Kamanhart]

So today I received my pl300cf pliers set. And the 47cf which looks extremely awesome seems to have roughly 1/8-1/4 inch slop in the jaws. Is this normal and is there anything I can do to tighten the joint? Im in no way trying to bash SO or anything so please no you should have got this or that.[emoji3]

Thank you for your help.

Find a driver and warranty them out on the spot or send the pliers back with an explanation.

Mine are the same way. Idk. Maybe I should try to warranty them too

Damn u!! Now I'm gonna have to go check mine. I had mine for about a year now and they are awesome pliers. I will have to check this out to see if mine are ok now...!!! Ughh

If they're all this way, it's likely not a defect.

I guess that's kind of my question is how normal is it? I don't feel its loose enough to hinder the use. But its just enough to flare my OCD. Thats for the quick responses guys.

Those must be counterfeits! - I read on Garage Journal that Snap-On makes the best of everything!

Is there not a peened nut on the other side? If so, I'd tighten it to taste and repeen it. Not sure what to do if the play isn't axial.

To me it looks like a peened rivet not a nut and I cant seem to get it to turn. I thought about trying to peen it alittle more or possibly try and put her in the press but I figured id get a consensus first from people who know
