Review on πŸ”§ KNIPEX Tools - Precision Internal 90 Degree Angled Circlip Pliers, 1 37/64"-3 15/16" Bore Dia. (4821J31), 8.50 by Alex Smith

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Removing or replacing the large retaining ring now takes 1 minute instead of 1 hour. Priceless.

It took me an hour to pry, force and pry the circlip out of the hub so I could pull the bearing out. Then another hour to reset after the bearing is pressed into the hub. Fine-nosed pliers, large screwdrivers, and various other tools were all inadequate. I have snap ring pliers but nothing like the solid snap rings. Until I went to a brake and suspension store and noticed the very large snap ring pliers. I immediately went to Revain, found these pliers and clicked order. These pliers are strong, well made and finished. Large enough to comfortably apply enough force to compress the hub's tight locking rings. Removing or replacing the large retaining ring now takes 1 minute instead of 1 hour. Priceless.

Pros
  • Circlip Pliers
Cons
  • Could have gone for a newer model
