Toolwiz Snap Ring Pliers Heavy Duty, Internal Retaining Ring C Clip Circlip Pliers 90 Degree for Trucks Motorcycles Cars, Red

I like the long reach for internal fitting snap rings. The pliers give me a feeling of similar Snap On pliers that I own in my auto shop. Great price and does the job.

After reading another review that the snap ring pliers worked on Sram Guide R brake levers, I ordered the longer blue handled ones just in case for even deeper snap ring locations on future projects. They worked great to remove and reinstall the snap ring that holds the white plastic master cylinder piston in place in the Sram Guide R brake lever. The snap ring pliers' tips fit very snug into the master cylinder snap ring holes. I had also read online that this can be done without removing the brake lever from the brake line. So, I tried that by removing the brake lever from the handlebar and wire tying it to the handlebar facing up so no brake fluid would be lost. It worked great and saved a lot of time not having to remove the bike wheel, brake pads, pushing in 4 caliper pistons to insert Sram brake bleed block and then bleed both the caliper and master cylinder. All I had to do in the end is just bleed the master cylinder because when you push the master cylinder piston back in to reinstall, you entrap a small amount of air. That can be removed by using the Sram syringe half-filled with brake fluid screwed into the bleed port on the master cylinder and pushing and pulling the syringe plunger until there aren't any air bubbles left. The reason I had to do this job is because the master cylinder pistons are too tight in the master cylinder which I believe is from the actual machining diameter of the master cylinder being too small. My Sram brake levers came with the 2nd version pistons (smaller diameter) that was supposed to fix this issue. I needed to hand sand the pistons down to 9.0 to 9.1 mm in diameter using calipers to measure. They measured about 9.35 mm in diameter before sanding. I never noticed this on cool days. But on hot days, the brakes levers would start sticking and not releasing the brake pads. I also stretched the piston spring out a little bit so the lever would snap back more forcefully when releasing the lever when not braking. I hope this helps anyone else who is having this problem with their Sram Guide R brake levers.

Excellent tool ,the tips are very hard and this thing will not bend. Very nice

As Advertised

I bought this specifically to rebuild rear calipers on a 1996 Mazda Miata. There is an internal snap ring that is really tricky to remove without this tool. With this, the job is very simple and you can rebuild a rear caliper in no time. Highly recommended for this job and I'm sure many others. The tool is not the most sturdy or heavy duty but it gets the job done for the price.

Work perfect for getting the recessed snap rings out of a string trimmer head in order to replace the clutch drum found no other tool that would work for this job

Too much bending, can’t grip the brake caliper C clip at all

If you are rebuilding a master cylinder on your bike. You need these. Worked perfect to get that snap ring right out.

Idéal pour le démontage et remontage d’étrier de frein de voiture en vue d’un degrippage ou réflection total.

Ok for the price. Not high quality, but I didn't expect that. Did the job and was delivered fast.

As the title says, it is certainly the right tool for the job, makes life so much easier and better.
