Snap-on Pearl Blue Pliers

[Renchi]

I recently purchased a used pair of Snap-on 411CP pliers with pearl blue handles. They are beautiful! I never knew that these things even existed.

Can anyone tell me approximately what year(s) Snap-on made pliers with pearl blue handles?

Didn't they bring the pearl blue color back a year or two ago? Or were those only screwdrivers?

Do they have a date code?.... post up a pic, would love to see them.

I believe that they brought back pearl blue for both screwdrivers and ratchets. Someone please correct me if I am mistaken.

I have never seen date codes on the older pliers. I will try to get some pictures.

Yep, been about 2 years now.

I'd go for the Patton approved Ivory handles.
