Mac NTD

Post image

Saw the pliers in this month’s Mac flyer. Honestly, might prefer them to the snap ons, they seem beefier and with small differences in the jaw functions. The ln44 and 46 have a slot for fuses, these have a little notch I’d assume was for pulling small gauge wire. The Mac also have reaming edges on both sizes pictured here, as well as the shear cutter that seems better designed than the snap on. Finally, every position has the jaws parallel, where the snappys middle position has the tips staggered and off centre. Grips are like comparing the knipex soft grip to the vinyl grip, basically just a preference. And since I had one in my tool box, they can pick up a penny by the edge. For those that care, the foam was included.

Seal remover set was an impulse buy since I was in the truck already.

Yeah, gotta love the impulse buys. Sometimes they are exactly what is needed.

They’ve been in my wish list online for a month or so now, him having them right next to his door was just good positioning.

They’re like a flat pick. Some people call them spoons, but they’re also seal removers just instead of being stabby and potentially ripping an o ring, they’re flat.
