🔧 OTC 4513 Heavy-Duty 2-Piece Snap-Ring Pliers Set for Internal and External Use Review

Very good circlip pliers. Works great on large snap rings. The lock function is easy to use and easy to unlock. No evidence of bending at the ends was found. There were also additional tips

These are some serious locking ring pliers lol. I bought these specifically to rebuild a transmission on a friend's Harley Davidson, but I'm a mobile mechanic by trade and they've come in handy a few times since.

I broke a couple of snap ring tools trying to install/remove turbine and wheel bearing snap rings. I should have bought something like this first. I took a set of sockets and sanded them to fit the smaller holes. They work great and make the job a lot easier.

Very powerful tool They were a lot bigger than I expected when I first received them. Compared to a much cheaper set of nearly identical Cal-Hawk brand snap ring pliers, this OTC set feels more durable and of higher quality. Removing wheel bearing and turbocharger snap rings took 10 seconds instead of 10 minutes. I'm sure this set will last a long time!

Now! These are REAL circlip pliers. You are tall! You are strong! Tips are in the right place! Pretty good case! They are made in Twain but built to OTC specs and requirements. They easily dealt with the same locking ring that twisted my BIG CHEAP pair like a pretzel the other day, no grommets but frames! I threw them in the trash! I learned the hard way that snap ring pliers are not the right tool for cutting corners.

I had an old snap ring plier that looked like the $15 O'Reily pliers. She was no better than I already had . The ones where I had the tips bent without removing the very stiff 2 1/4" ring from the dredge. I ordered this OTC kit. This OTC kit worked fine - I took the rings off with no problem. Folks here and the product description mention that this set is for large rings (3 1/2" - 6 1/8" outer rings). But the rings I used it on were 2 - 2 1/4" outer rings and they worked fine. I think the…

They are much larger than I expected. They easily weigh a few pounds each. However, they are also very strong and are good for pulling large diameter internal and external snap rings - about 2 1/2" to 6" or so. The tip diameter is approximately 1/8 inch (0.125 inch). The various tips are held in place by two large screws and are very strong. An advantage of this is that a person can make their own handpieces for specific purposes. I love the feature that holds the snap ring in place - too many…

This tool kit is worth the money. The pictures don't do it justice. The quality and size let me know I bought the right tool for the job. I spent hours trying to install a snap ring clip on a 2006 Ford Explorer knuckle. I used regular snap ring pliers from an auto parts store and a flathead screwdriver to pry it out, but resetting it was more difficult. When standard snap ring pliers didn't work, I tried long handled needle nose pliers. This gave me leverage, but the teeth barely fit in the…

I had an old snap ring pliers set for $15 at O'Reily. I know because I went there to see what they have - no better than what I already had. The ones I had the tips bent on without pulling a very stiff 2 1/4" diameter ring off the backhoe. I ordered this OTC kit. This over the counter kit worked well - took off the rings with no problems. People here and in the product description mention that this set is for large rings (3 1/2" - 6 1/8" outer rings). But the rings I've used it on were 2-2 1/4"
