Review: Tool may need Skill/Technique to work - Yesterday I was going to write a bad review bcuz the pin on the pliers were too long n slim causing the snap ring to twist after applying too much force that caused it to stick out one end n require an insane ft/lbs to push off the pliers , after two days and a 3 man team mechanic the tool could not get the ring seated , but turns out the ring was was special for the AC compressor magnetic coil behind the pulley , it had a oval outer shape that was designed to bend n flex , turns out the length of the pin was perfect to accommodate this design flex n after realizing all I needed to do was counter twist the ring against the direction it turned to straighten n expanded the ring perfectly straighten it self , turns out the tool is well made, n the mechanics were just inexperienced n weren’t needed
Review: Value is a 5. Quality is a 3. - 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.

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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wobbly parts that come off.
*by A***S on October 27, 2025*

It does the job, but the removable tips come off very easily while in use and it can be an issue if someone is working on an open engine. I used them to modify a high-end door lock while working on a table so there was no danger of dropping the ring I needed to remove in some places where it would be hard to recover, but I would never use them if working on an engine bay. They are cheap but for critical work is better to spend more and get the fixed tip ones.
