Review on 11-Piece Heavy Duty Snap Ring Pliers Set by Cal Hawk Tools: CPLSR11P by Young Rich

Let's see what it is, a good brand name, not a precision set. I use this for casual use on light automation hardware. For that they are of great value. These are all light and infrequent uses, and they saved me the day I got them. Can't comment on heavy use or if you have rings in stuck bearings and the like. I suspect they will be short-lived for that. Cons: 1) You don't get really small tip sizes when working with snap rings less than 3/8 inch or so in diameter. The smallest tip is 1mm, ideal for lawn equipment and the like, not for RC cars. 2) The ends aren't all the same length, but a little filing can make them pretty tight. 3) When using pliers it loosens adjustment knob, not a big problem if you don't have high rep but a little annoying. Pros: 1) The case shows the sizes of the tips, which is handy, and there's a place to put small rings and parts you're working on so they don't get lost, and it's a bit bulky, but overall professional . 2) Great price, similar quality kits are $150+. 3) Good selection of pens, for most of us it's all you want...ever need. 4) The extra picks that come with the kit come in handy
