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

A bit difficult to calculate. Could really use a pictogram for the average guy. But they work very well. Not to mention the price for the whole set!

Very dissatisfied, paid a little more for this set as it stood up to heavy use which was far from it. I went to use them and the tips were bent, the handles were blue and one of the handles was bent.

Really cool snap ring pliers. I bought them in case I need to use them. Luckily I didn't have to use them, but they look really cool in their inflated case. I'm looking forward to having to use them, but actually I won't have to use them because it means more work.

Circlip ends vary in size. One is bigger than the other which makes them totally useless as you can't put one end in the retaining ring because it's too big. Very bad quality. The case is unusable because after opening, the parts just fall out and are scattered.

My latch on the ones I had in the 30's still didn't break, but didn't work for the big rings. So you get what you pay for, it's a disposable shopkeeper kit so save your money and buy real tools straight off the truck or just replace these new ones.

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
