This tool is not worth the investment. Through trial and error I found that it's nearly impossible to trust its precision .The pros: it's lightweight. The cons: it's poorly made and unfit for any serious industrial and scientific use. If you want a tool that can accurately retain internal and external diameters, look elsewhere..
Pros
Can be used for both internal and external retaining, making it a versatile tool.
Cons
Requires a specific diameter size, limiting its use to specific situations.
I bought cheap snap ring pliers to work with the snap rings on my backhoe. However, they didn't really work and I spent about an hour trying to remove the 1-1/2 inch locking ring. When I bought these snap ring pliers they worked great. In less than 10 seconds I can remove or remove the retaining ring. Install one of those big snap rings. These tools are worth their weight in gold. You will not be disappointed.
