Very bad quality and no return!

This item broke after "very basic" use. The very first time I used them, same day they were delivered. I then tried to return them "the day after they arrived" and was told "this item is non-refundable". the day after their arrival! I recommend buying something else, I just wasted $12.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Hard to say

ATTENTION - read the fine print from Revain above - NON-RETURNABLE!

I try not to order anything from Revain unless it's Prime so I'm protected. They were Prime and Revain's Choice. They were useless for the C-clip which I had to remove so I ordered another pair and went to return them. NON RETURNABLE. From now on, I'll check the fine print on Revain before making a purchase.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Requires outlet

Too many games and weak tool.

Too much play in the tips. I do not recommend this tool and I advise you to buy it without any investment. This product has a "return policy". With the small B&S starter I could not remove the locking ring. Finally, I used two screwdrivers to get the job done. Revain refunded my money after explaining the poor quality of the tools.

Pros
  • Ease of use
Cons
  • Some bugs

These snap ring pliers do the job.

If you work with a diesel engine, heavy truck or other large equipment these are not for you. If you need a good snap ring pliers for lawn equipment, simple car repairs and home projects, this is a good tool. I recently took apart a 4 year old Honda mower that needed updating and repainting and they have been great. I really like the different sizes as they came in handy when removing the wheels, gearbox and transmission. They performed as intended and didn't feel cheap or flimsy. Buy them for…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Protection

Great tool for locking rings.

I used this product to remove retaining rings on a Honda self propelled powertrain. It was a bit difficult at first to disconnect the included adapter and get the tool working properly as the pin came loose a few times, but once properly installed it worked well. For the value of the money I spent on this tool, I'd say it's pretty good because you get a few extra adapters with the tool for more than one application. The tool is versatile and effective when properly replaced with a new adapter…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Low repairability

Better than nothing, I wouldn't say!

I have used/tried to use these circlip pliers on my motorcycle. The pliers themselves are unstable when trying to remove the locking rings on my control levers and master cylinders. The pins do not grip well or are not seated in the retaining rings. The main issue is the fit of the pin lock and spring system at the directional pivot. It flexes a lot, causing the pins to slip out of the locking ring holes no matter how much force you can apply, making the problem worse. The pivot locking system…

  • Very good price
Cons

Tips too big for snap ring holes

Removing the transmission pulley from the lawnmower, pliers are required to remove the snap ring. I needed a 90 degree tip to make it look like they would work. After putting on the 90 degree tip, I fumbled for 20 minutes in an awkward position (cramped space) for my hand, but I couldn't slide the tips of the pen into the holes of the retaining rings. I ended up pulling the ring out with needle nose pliers. Once outside, I found that the tips of these pliers were larger than the holes on the…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Vulgarity

$10 = $10 TOOLS

Quick change bits/tips are more comfortable than some other snap ring pliers. This Irwin tool is for everyday use / or maybe for weekend warriors. BUT = it must be said that this is not a precision instrument. Those who want a reliable result will most likely like the Channel Lock tool or a tool of similar quality. The pliers work quite easily and have a comfortable grip. (End up buying channel locks that don't have this problem. Plus easy swapping from inside to outside with built in lever.)…

Pros
  • ProTouch grips provide extra comfort and reduce hand fatigue
Cons
  • Available in white only

Not strong enough for auto repairs

You get what you pay for. I bought a car at a car auction earlier this year and restored it while we are out of business. Along the way, I used discounts and coupons to purchase additional tools needed for the overhaul. The reviews for them were so good that I bought them instead of a much more expensive set. After receiving them, I see that I still need a more expensive set. If there weren't so many issues with Irwin's returns I would have because they clearly can't get the job done. I can't…

Pros
  • ProTouch grips add comfort and help reduce hand fatigue when using pliers
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

Dangerously poor quality and design, DO NOT USE

I tried to use these to disassemble my stem which is 4th generation pliers for snap rings. I saw good reviews of these pliers, knew the Stanley name and thought they were high quality, but I was hugely mistaken. The mechanism that locks the interchangeable heads onto the pliers is very weak and spring loaded. If you try to use these pliers under moderate to heavy pressure, they will bend in a way that can startle you and potentially become dangerous. Replaceable heads move very weakly on tongs,

Pros
  • Grip dimensions: 6-1/2" L x 1-7/20" W
Cons
  • Requires socket
