Review on Motion Pro 08-0279 Master Cylinder Snap Ring Plier: Efficient Tool for Master Cylinder Maintenance by Aaron Carney

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Decent tool, just high price

Worked well enough to do the job of rebuilding a caliper. It seems built well enough to get the job done multiple times, but I wouldn't put it in the complex professional tools category. The build quality is the same as any other locking ring pliers set, although they are a specific length and angle to handle this specific job. I have a hard time assessing the value here: He did exactly what I needed. and it looks like it's going to go on as often, but it just doesn't feel like tools live up to my expectations for the price. With the same money I bought a very good tool with a replaceable tip and a reverse opening with a lifetime guarantee, although it had no option to match the angle and reach of this tool. I'll throw that away if it's a specialty tool that doesn't get the price incentives that come with high production volumes.

Pros
  • Fits some fork seals
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
