Review on πŸ”§ Astro 9402 16-Inch Snap Ring Pliers - Set of 2 by William Auditore

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Chinese hand tool quality

Large and quite heavy tool. The problem is that two of the small screws holding the various tips have been stripped. Also the tips didn't snag on the huge 4 inch locking rings I was trying to install. I was able to squeeze the ring but when I tried to put it back on the tip slipped off the retaining ring. I ended up putting a small stainless steel bolt with a nut through the threaded hole for the tip and then put the bolt through the retaining ring. It worked great. But I didn't have to modify the pliers to make them work properly.

Pros
  • Has replaceable tips and a spring loaded ratchet locking mechanism to secure the retaining ring
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
