Channel Lock Retaining Ring Pliers

[mo65]

   Have you ever wondered why you went so long without a proper tool? Maybe cost...but in my case here...20 bucks ain't an excuse! I think back to how many times I've struggled with the piece of #@%& snap ring pliers I've been using, all the skinned fingers, so unnecessary! I'm stoked to try these Channel Locks...prolly end up tearing apart a reel that doesn't even need it!

You'll love 'em ! Being a mechanic for my whole working career, I've got a whole tool box full of *just about* every kind of snap ring removing tool, that ever was. A "small" set of the "convertible " pliers, with the replaceable tips is a good addition to any ones tool kit. Besides speeding up the process, they cut WAY down on those ,"Where in heck did it go !", episodes...and also,much safer....I've had more than one ring go, "PING !!" off the lens of my safety glasses! Which, by the way, is another "tool* that should be in every ones kit ! And, they only work when you wear them !

Dang.  You mean you don't HAVE to put up with the points bending and rounding over? Dang.
