Would Not RecommendThe pins break. The pins need to be as strong or stronger than the snap ring

SnapRing
Would RecommendOrdered these to work on a few things I have with snap rings. If you work with snap rings; you need these. Sturdy, versatile and the quality you expect from ChanelLock.
Great for tight spots
Would RecommendThe needles nose were and pins were small enough to get to the particular snap ring I was working. Very tight location

Great Tool for Motorcycles
Would RecommendIf you work on bikes this is the tool to have. Snap rings on Harley clutches and brake levers especially are small holes and it is difficult to find a good set of pliers that first have the right size and second do not break or bend the tips when used. This set has the sizes needed and the strength of the tips is excellent.

Great Multipurpose Pliers
Would RecommendLarge enough for a grown man's hands. With springs, there is stress relief. there are interchangeable bits to match nearly every type of snap ring holes. Perfect for getting only 1 tool that does a whole lot, and takes up just a little space.

POOR SHIPPING
Would RecommendTHe product is fine and worked great. The “expediated shipping” was not true. It took two weeks to get to me and i should receive a recund for my shipping costs
Very versatile
Would RecommendEAsy to switch from internal to external snap ring tool with the flip of a tab. I have another tool, actually two tools, one for internal, and one for external, and a pain to switch pack and forth between them. This tool makes it very easy to remove and reinstall snap rings.
Great tool for simplifying tool count
Would RecommendExpensive, but I love the ability to configure internal/external. These are large and may not be best for smaller clips, but I love the design and the quality seems fine.
Poor quality
Would Not RecommendFor a tool that is made in the USA, I expect much higher quality. The allen key that is included to change the bits is too small and strips out the retaining bolt. And the area where the bits slide into was made incorrectly. You can see it when you use the 90 degree bits, the bits point too far away from each other so the bits are unusable! Also, one of my straight bits broke after one use on a lawn mower snap ring. Couldnt use the 90 degree ones because they dont work! In addition, the tips on ...
doesn't work
Would Not RecommendThese are supposed to be dual function for both internal and external snap rings. Straight out of the package they will not change modes. Flip the switch, smash the handles, and nothing happens. They are stuck in internal mode. We'll see how good their warranty really is.
