00 20 04 SB 8-Piece Precision Circlip Snap-Ring Pliers Set

Funny how the simple things can make or break a tool. I've had a few snap ring pliers with changeable jaws that are a waste of time. Jaws are way too flimsy to work. I've had the more solid pliers that you change how the handles are assembled to change from inner to outer snap rind. Those work better but the pins are not optimized for how they need to engage the snap ring, so also have issues. These Knipex pliers are made right and work well. I tried them on an item that I was having trouble with and they held and manipulated the snap ring just fine. They are pricey, but the lack of frustration makes them well worth the cost. The outside pliers are spring loaded to be open, the inside pliers are not spring loaded. It might be nice if they were loaded to close, but not a big deal. These pliers work and work well.

Because they work. These pliers have "precision" in the name to distinguish them from the standard product which has external springs, box joints, and turned tips. These pliers have adjustable joints, internal springs, and spring wire tips. The tips are not changeable, they are crimped in. When you wear out a pair of tips (hasn't happened to me yet), you have got your $25 worth of use, go buy another pair. The tips are canted outward on external ring pliers and inward on internal ring pliers. This is a great feature as the clip will work it's way toward the pliers when under tension and tend to stay on the pliers until tension is released. Great feature. This set will handle 3/8" (10mm) to 2 3/8" (60mm). If you are an R/C car enthusiast or a gun or airgun or paintball gunsmith, you will need a separate pair of external pliers that will handle 1/8" (3mm) to 3/8" (10mm). Thank the engineer in the sky they don't particularly make 1/8 to 3/8 Internal snap rings, but if they did, Knipex would probably make them. You may want straights Knipex 4911A0 External Straight Precision Retaining Ring Pliers 5.5-Inch or the angled ones Knipex 4921A01 External Angled Precision Retaining Ring Pliers 5.2-Inch sometimes they go out of stock, but don't hurry, buy them from Amazon as they are about $10 less expensive. Knipex also makes bigger pliers for those of us who fool with big tractors and earth movers. These are very good tools, they are drop forged steel and should last a long time doing what they were designed to do.

Great quality! Love the storage tray. It’s Knipex what else do you need. Just buy them.

Never struggle again with snap rings. These pliers are perfect, they fit the snap rings properly and the ends are a bit longer than others which help guide the ring on the tool. The tools are built very robust and with simple care should last a long time. Yes, a bit more than other sets but the quality is top-notch. End the frustrating struggle with changing tips, cheap pliers. Buy them one time and cry once.

Mmmm....actually good tools for once!!!! thank you knipex. They are a somewhat narrow profile compared to others with reversible handles, i was able to get into a tight spot on a f350 hub where others broke. Normally a PITA job but these worked great, feel appreciative for a tool that gets the job done. They seem very well priced for what you are getting. Shipped super quick from this seller, im happy job is done!

I wanted to buy a nice set of snap ring pliers but didn't want to go broke buying the snap on set. These seem like a good compromise on price and value. I have a great disdain for those channel lock snap ring pliers with the removable tips. They are a form of torture to use, so they went in the trash as soon as I received this set. So far I am really impressed. The only reason I subtracted a star is because they are not as beefy as the snap on ones (which could be a positive or a negative) and the snap on ones open a little farther up. They do seem to be milled to a higher tolerance than the snap on ones though. Time will tell on quality, but they have a lifetime warranty so I'm not too worried. All my Knipex stuff seems to be very high quality so far.
