Wilde ToolG409.B Angle Tip Lock Ring Pliers, 9 inch with Black Oxide Finish

I use this pliers daily at work and it has held up well. The little drilled out dimple on the two faces really helps to grip the rings as you are removing them. Also just a side note wilde makes these and they are relabeled for Snap-on.

I just worked on my transfer case where I needed these and they worked great. The compound action and size made removing the snap rings a breeze. There is a divot at the tip on the outboard side that will allow the snap rings that have a point to lock in place and helps to keep the pliers on the snap ring during removal. The tool quality is also very good and opens and closes with ease. One other plus is that these are made in the US.

These pliers are the first experience that I have had with Wilde Tools. The workmanship is excellent.Pros: 1) The tools are Made in the United States of America! 2) The excellent finish. They are very lightly oiled black oxide (finish). 3) The action is smooth. 4) The jaws open VERY wide if needed. 5) They are very comfortable in the hand.Cons: 1) The jaws are a bit narrower than I had imagined that they would be, so if you are looking for a very heavy duty pair with wide jaws, look carefully before you buy. That being said, the somewhat narrower jaw tips are excellent for getting into tight places and/of precision work.

These snap ring pliers are the flat knurled ends, with 90 degree tips to get right up against a shaft or housing. Knurling is hard and grabs on first try. My eyeballs feel so much safer than the loud CLACK and racing to close your eyes before they're impaled by flying snap rings

Got my pliers and they were used the springs worn out, covered in grease like wtf I thought I was buying new when it said new not used and worn out

son liked it

I bought this for the rebuild on my bw 1356, and must say it works wonders taking off the lock rings esp on the input shaft.

easy to find and buy.
