I have a toolbox full of Snap on but my go-to dykes are Klein. Needlenose are snappy and Channel

Can’t go wrong with Channellocks. Made is the good old USA, in Meadville, PA. Right across from the highway from the sewage treatment plant.

I am shopping for new needlenose pliers, I need several of various lengths, and I'm phasing out my older junk ones. I own several sets of Channel Lock pliers and fencing tools, as well as some Klein wire strippers and cutters. I was curious if anyone had any positives or negatives on either, both brands seem to have what I need available. Thank you in advance.
Do a Google IMAGE search on "needle nose plier set"
There you will see what the world has to offer.
You might have to mix and match brands to get the sizes you want.

If your going to actually use them Klein are the better brand, and you will appreciate the durability!

Klein. Although Knipex makes a quality product too.

I carried a pair of 440 Channel Locks in my back pocket for many years at work but Klein makes some fine hand tools as well.
