Review on πŸ”§ GEARWRENCH 82033 Double-X External Snap Ring Pliers: High-Performance Precision Tools for Efficient Snap Ring Removal by Mark Howard

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Did the job I needed but was concerned they wouldn't last long.

I used a long pair of snap ring pliers to remove the snap ring on the front of the final drive shaft on my John Deere 2210. It's definitely long enough and has served its purpose. While I didn't have the issues with the pens that others mention, I did find the tips to be quite soft. The shoulders on them wore out quickly, creating a slight slope that made it difficult to keep the locking ring on the pliers.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Lots of things
