IRWIN VISE-GRIP Convertible Snap Ring Pliers, 6-1/2-Inch (2078900)

If you need snap ring pliers these do a really good job. It is also nice that they have multiple tips.

They'll easily do most jobs. They can be frustrating at times because they aren't that solid so the tension from the snap ring can easily snap them out of place so it may take a few tries to get the snap ring off, but you'll get it eventually. I pushed them for a bigger job and I did slightly bend one of the small prongs.

Works great for c-clip snap rings. Extra heads allow you to handle almost any situation these are used.Heads are super easy to switch out. Some say these bend easy. Not if you use them correctly.They are not made to carry bowling balls people. You might get a lemon which is always possible.Some filing to fit the smaller c-clips is a minor annoyance in my book.Like others I wonder why waiting so long to get these nifty things.

Love the grips on these pliers. Between the grips and the handles you get a ton of stability and leverage. The small rods/tips that go into the snap rings seem kind of thin in comparison to the power that you can generate. It seems like they will eventually break if you aren't careful. It all depends on the quality of metal. I used them to repair a garden hose reel and they worked well, let's see how long they last.

I used to have two pair of snap ring pliers, one for inner snap rings and one for outer snap rings but they were almost 50 years old and had seen better days. to change the tips you had to loosen a retainer on each side and then put the tip in and retighten. If the snap ring had any strength to it, the tips could dislodge and I would then have to reinstall them. The Irwin Vise-Grip snap ring pliers is a much better design as the whole tip assembly gets changed by taking out the spring loaded pivot pin and putting on the tip assemble you need to use.

Very niceEasy to change tips.I would definitely recommend this!

He'll of a job without them. Now quick and easy. A good buy.

Good price. I tried using it to remove the snap ring on a wheel bearing. It didn't go anywhere and the bits started bending. I ended up buying $35 pliers to finish the job.

Great product. A step above entry level tool.

Gostei do produto, ferramenta atendeu minhas necessidades. Recomendo.

La volvería a comprar cumplió con lo esperado

Das Tool wurde mir empfohlen. Bei dem günstigen Preis entstand kein Risiko. Die Lieferung aus den USA war eine Woche schneller als vorausgesagt. Beim Auspacken war ich über die Qualität überrascht. Die echte Überraschung kam dann aber beim Arbeiten an meiner Harley als ich den Snap-Ring ausbauen wollte. Der Einsatz sprang aus den Dornen heraus. Der Mechanismus hält größerem Druck nicht stand. Für Kleinigkeiten mag das Tool genügen, aber für Snap-Ringe, die Widerstand bieten, ist das Tool ungeeignet. Lieber das Geld sparen und gleich etwas „Richtiges“ kaufen.

Excellent product, so adaptable. Saves having 5 seperate sets of circlip pliers in your box.
