What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise these snap ring pliers for versatility, durability, and precision. The interchangeable tips and lever mechanism seamlessly switch between internal and external applications, eliminating the need for multiple tools. Reviewers highlight the rigid, heavy-duty construction that handles stiff, large-diameter rings without flexing. Many appreciate the needle-nose design for accessing tight spaces like brake calipers and motorcycle clutches. A few report minor tip breakage or set screw issues, but most still recommend the tool despite occasional flaws.

Would RecommendMillwright in a Foundry, bought these for working on the mold water lines. Work Great! Recommended!
My fix
Would RecommendJust what I needed when changing foot pegs to mini floor boards on my Harley Sportster.....
Useless on half of mine.
worked fairly for some small outside clips. But on any reasonably strong inside clips the ends just bend. First time was on a large 1.5 inch seal clip . A 10 second job took 40 minutes. I put it down to being a strong clip. I just tried it on a new 1/2 inch ring for a small engine piston pin and the tool end just bends before getting the ring closed enough to insert. The only thing that snapped was me.
Outstanding Tool !!
Would RecommendThese pliers are Great ! Really Work ! I had been fighting a snap ring that is 2 " in diameter and 1/8 " in thickness . Broke one set of pliers and bent the heads on another set . Went to Lowe's and bought these popped the ring right out . Heavy duty pliers I will be using these for a long time !Going to be the only snap ring pliers in my tool bag from now on . I highly Recommend the Channellock Snap Ring pliers . And they are made in The U.S.A. !!
Reversible and Made in USA!
Would RecommendThese pliers are great. You can reverse them for when working with snap rings. Great quality.
High Quality
Would Recommendthese snap ring pliers are very high quality and get the job done. they will be in my tool box for a long time.
Great product
Would RecommendHavent had a chance to use them yet but the ability to switch between expanding and contracting with the flip of a switch is very handy.
Well worth the money
Would RecommendBought a cheaper brand 1 hour before. They failed immediately. Took the trip to Lowe’s and these pliers didn’t disappoint. They worked flawlessly the first time and are built with quality and give me the confidence they’ll work time and time again.
Best ever
Would RecommendBought this as a replacement of a worn out pair to rebuild the front brake master cylinder on my 4 wheeler. Exactly what I needed. Hopefully these will last longer than the previous pair.
Excellent pliers
Would RecommendI have bought several pairs of snap ring pliers from other retailers in the past. And these are far superior in quality.
Channel lock Pliers
Would RecommendJust what I needed. Did the job. Quality seems good
Works perfectly
Would RecommendNeed them for hard to get to snap rings, they worked flawlessly.
Don’t buy the cheap ones!
Would RecommendPurchased a cheaper set earlier which worked fine until I ran into a snap ring that had holes that were too small for any of the attachments. The channellock pair came with multiple size tips that worked perfect. The internal to external switch is also an added bonus. I would of saved $15 if I wasn’t being cheap the first time.
MacGyver would approve...
Would RecommendLove that it works in compression and tension in one tool! Replaces about 6 other snap ring pliers in the toolbox.
Finally installed!
Would RecommendFinally installed a turbo blow off valve after braking three other cheaper brands.These pliers WORKED !!!!!!!! A+++
A+
Would RecommendThis is the "Tim Allen" version. It just don't get better
Worth every penny
Would RecommendYou get what you pay for can't be more true in the case of the CHANNELLOCK Snap Ring Pliers. With a simple movement of the reversing arm you can open or close snap rings. The tool comes with multiple sizes that should handle just about any snap ring size. It feels like a quality product in your hands. Don't waste your money on anything else as they are junk.
