Review on πŸ”§ Optimized Internal Bent Nose Snap Ring Pliers for Master Cylinder Snap Rings by Joe Jordan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Useful special tool

These extra long hooked pliers went deep into the caliper where normal pliers couldn't, allowing me to fix my old Mazda rear disc brake caliper. Inside the cylinder, a C-clamp secures the lower end of a bolted worm gear, which adjusts and pulls out the piston. It has to come out to replace the o-ring, but the gear and narrow barrel block the reach of regular and even extra long snap ring pliers. For this work, rectangular pliers are created. It's not fancy machine-polished or shiny chrome; They make it easy and will probably save me some pinching problems in other tight spaces.

Pros
  • High quality spring mechanism for easy handling. Eco-friendly molded PVC handles for a comfortable grip
Cons
  • Doubtful
