For the non-professional mechanic, snap ring pliers are a tool that you need every so often, but would be really nice to have when you need them. These fit that need. The construction is average, but the price is low enough to allow you to purchase it to have it when you need it. If you are a pro using them every day, these wouldn't last long due to the lower quality. For the weekend mechanic - a fine addition to your toolbox.

You certainly get what you pay for. The snapring heads do not attach to the handle base in the most secure way, but well enough do get the job done. I've used them quite frequently in the last month and am thoroughly satisfied. I would buy these again in a heartbeat.

1.0 out of 5 stars Tips broke and bent on the first use., August 23, 2011

By 

Linnea Hermanson (Ardmore, PA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: TEKTON 3578 8-in-1 Universal Snap Ring Pliers Set (Tools & Home Improvement)

This is the worst tool I own. It may be able to remove some very flimsy snap rings, but anything even moderately tough it cannot handle. In my case I was removing a retaining ring on a bike axle. First attempt one of the tips snapped right off. Second attempt, one of the tips bent and the tool simply slid out of the ring. Third attempt, tool wobbled out, opening spring poped out and flew into some corner of the garage. There was no fourth attempt.

Do not buy this tool unless you are removing tiny thin snap rings - in fact, just don't buy this tool.
