These are quite simply the best snap ring pliers that I have ever used. I needed the precise pins to remove the rings from a Canon film camera that I was repairing. I was super impressed with the build quality and heft of these pliers. The rubberized grips are textured to give a secure purchase, even with gloves. The pins are round, precise and close tightly at the center tangent. These pliers belong in your toolbox.

The perfect tool to remove the clips that hold the pins when replacing the brake and clutch lever on your Harley.

Spending $50 on these pliers likely saved me hours when repairing our ancient dryer. I only needed to remove and later replace one snap ring, but after carefully reading all the reviews of other snap ring pliers here on Amazon it was clear that this was the only one that was sure to do the job. Also, unlike cheaper pliers, I could get detailed specs on the pliers from the KNIPEX web sight, so I know these pliers would fit and solidly hold and release the snap ring. I have been burned too often buying cheap tools since "I might only need to use it once", and then discovering the cheaper tool did not fit, or was finicky, or broke, or caused the part I was working on to fly off into an inaccessible corner. This did the job perfectly.

There is that tiny, and quite frustrating, little clip that hold you're clutch lever on. This is the tool to remove it, easily. Are there other ways? Yes. Is this the simplest? Indeed. And, come on, it's an excuse to buy a new tool!

After having messed around with the cheap interchangeable snap ring pliers you see for sale at autozone, I've been blown away by how much nicer these knipex are.

Struggled in the past with interchangable snap ring pliers, finally had enough and bought Knipex set but one at the time as needed. What a difference!

These are the best pliers to install and remove 3mm (1/8") snap rings on tiny shafts as found in Gun, Paintball, and Airgun applications. These are also a necessity for high end R/C cars etc. The pliers are small enough that they don't interfere with the shaft when putting on snap rings in tight places. These are excellent quality drop forged tools and are the only ones that are made in a First World country (in this case Germany), instead of by Child labor in places like China and VietNam. If you do small rings, these are indispensable.
