Should I Buy It?

The Knipex snap ring pliers are highly recommended by customers for their supreme quality and efficient functionality. Although they are more expensive than other brands, the long term value and durability they offer make them worth the price. Therefore, if you often need to use snap ring pliers for your tasks, investing in this quality tool could be a wise decision.

    • Why would anyone buy such expensive pliers?
Style: Pliers
Because they work. These pliers have "precision" in the name to distinguish them from the standard product which has external springs, box joints, and turned tips. These pliers have adjustable joints, internal springs, and spring wire tips. The tips are not changeable, they are crimped in. When you wear out a pair of tips (hasn't happened to me yet), you have got your $25 worth of use, go buy another pair. The tips are canted outward on external ring pliers and inward on internal ring pliers. This is a great feature as the clip will work it's way toward the pliers when under tension and tend to stay on the pliers until tension is released. Great feature. This set will handle 3/8" (10mm) to 2 3/8" (60mm). If you are an R/C car enthusiast or a gun or airgun or paintball gunsmith, you will need a separate pair of external pliers that will handle 1/8" (3mm) to 3/8" (10mm). Thank the engineer in the sky they don't particularly make 1/8 to 3/8 Internal snap rings, but if they did, Knipex would probably make them. You may want straights Knipex 4911A0 External Straight Precision Retaining Ring Pliers 5.5-Inch or the angled ones Knipex 4921A01 External Angled Precision Retaining Ring Pliers 5.2-Inch sometimes they go out of stock, but don't hurry, buy them from Amazon as they are about $10 less expensive. Knipex also makes bigger pliers for those of us who fool with big tractors and earth movers. These are very good tools, they are drop forged steel and should last a long time doing what they were designed to do. ... show more

    • Work Well
Style: Pliers
Funny how the simple things can make or break a tool. I've had a few snap ring pliers with changeable jaws that are a waste of time. Jaws are way too flimsy to work. I've had the more solid pliers that you change how the handles are assembled to change from inner to outer snap rind. Those work better but the pins are not optimized for how they need to engage the snap ring, so also have issues. These Knipex pliers are made right and work well. I tried them on an item that I was having trouble with and they held and manipulated the snap ring just fine. They are pricey, but the lack of frustration makes them well worth the cost. The outside pliers are spring loaded to be open, the inside pliers are not spring loaded. It might be nice if they were loaded to close, but not a big deal. These pliers work and work well. ... show more

    • These are good pliers for sure.
Style: Pliers
Mmmm....actually good tools for once!!!! thank you knipex. They are a somewhat narrow profile compared to others with reversible handles, i was able to get into a tight spot on a f350 hub where others broke. Normally a PITA job but these worked great, feel appreciative for a tool that gets the job done. They seem very well priced for what you are getting. Shipped super quick from this seller, im happy job is done! ... show more

    • The best snap ring pliers set

Bar none the best snap ring pliers set for the money. Only caveat is that the tips aren't replaceable.

    • End the frustration...
Style: Pliers
Never struggle again with snap rings. These pliers are perfect, they fit the snap rings properly and the ends are a bit longer than others which help guide the ring on the tool. The tools are built very robust and with simple care should last a long time. Yes, a bit more than other sets but the quality is top-notch. End the frustrating struggle with changing tips, cheap pliers. Buy them one time and cry once. ... show more

    • Goodbye torturous Channel-Lock pliers.
Style: Pliers
I wanted to buy a nice set of snap ring pliers but didn't want to go broke buying the snap on set. These seem like a good compromise on price and value. I have a great disdain for those channel lock snap ring pliers with the removable tips. They are a form of torture to use, so they went in the trash as soon as I received this set. So far I am really impressed. The only reason I subtracted a star is because they are not as beefy as the snap on ones (which could be a positive or a negative) and the snap on ones open a little farther up. They do seem to be milled to a higher tolerance than the snap on ones though. Time will tell on quality, but they have a lifetime warranty so I'm not too worried. All my Knipex stuff seems to be very high quality so far. ... show more

    • Do yourself a favor and avoid the cheap crap. Get these!!!
Style: Pliers
One use of these while servicing my Kubota's front axle and my old Craftsman set with removable tips went immediately in the trash. Supposedly the Craftsmen set could do ext. rings on shafts up to 2" (~51mm). Ha, right! This shaft was ~1 5/8" (~41mm) and there was no way though matter how many times I tried, no matter what tips I used or how I had them installed. I decided on this set of Knipex after reading many reviews here and elsewhere saying fixed tipped pliers are the only way to go. You know what, they're absolutely right. I enjoy mechanical work when I have the right tools, but I always felt that "snap" had more to do with how they'd fly away (assuming you even got that far) than it did to do with their springy composition. These Knipex pliers made these retainer rings trivial to remove and reinstall. I even took others out to *play* with 'em and to go a bit further with my cleanup and repair work. One of those was external on a 70mm shaft and tho this plier set has a stated upper range of 60mm, the retainer was removed easily. What may not be obvious to a casual observer who's not seen these up close is how the working bits at the tip are canted outwards for the ext. rings and inwards for the int. rings. The removable tips I had prior always canted inwards and for ext. rings this caused the ring to slide off the tips before you could open the ring up at all. I just wish I had purchased these 30 years ago. So many headaches I could have avoided. Though I would never have giggled as I'll likely do every time I use these in the future now -- 'cause I know. ... show more
