Next time you spring for that top of the line Snap-On sheat

I bought snap on diagonal cutters for my job a few years back.
I was an aircraft electrical tech.
They wore out, I got the snap on guy in and he said:
Not broke so no replacement.
I told him they would not cut, and in my mind they were not usable.
Again, not broke.
Didn't want to crack them in a vice.

My snap on rep has replaced my diagonal side cutters many times over the years due to both chipped cutters and worn pivots.Probably up to reps discretion. On the other hand I have several Mac tools 3/8 drive impact sockets that have rounded off and will not break. Metal is too soft.Dealer said to hammer a ball bearing in to the socket to crack them. All that did was distort them into the abuse category and so not warranty.Had a route screw up and this happened at the shop a few months ago.RJ
