Review on πŸ”§ ABN Long Reach 11in 45-Degree Bent Nose Pliers: Perfect Tool for Tricky, Tight Spaces and Limited Clearance Areas by Tony Kingdom

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I only needed one thing. . .

I only needed one 90 degree pair of pliers but for twice the amount I got four. What I really needed was a snap ring removal tool for the insanely large snap ring on the front cam seal of a 2000 Saab 9-5. The last time I did this job I removed it with a small pair of circlip pliers to which I attached aluminum tube extensions to the handles (I happened to have them on hand...) It barely worked and I needed another pair of hands . WEAR EYE PROTECTION! These clips fly! So I carved about 1/4 inch of the 90 degree plier tips to fit the small holes in the clamp and after that I had to squeeze the clamp to get the sharpening points into the holes. And yes, I had another pair of hands, but I probably could have done without them.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky
