In which case it sounds like Knipex or Gedore would be the best SO to remove a snap ring once a year for $430 is kind of insane and seems only justifiable for someone who uses it daily such as a transmission rebuilderĪm reading that universal means straight tangs whereas dedicated non-universal pliers are bent outward for better grip (IF they don't work fingers crossed they actually would) And when I tried to use them on a snap ring, they couldn't operate the fucking snap ring" (minus the "fuck" part) at which point hopefully they'll understand the sense in that and accept a return. It says on the box they operate snap rings. It shows none listed.Īt this point might even be a good idea to just try the Icons for $60 due to better to have something rather than nothing, and worst case scenario if they end up sucking ass trying to return them by asking nicely "Look I bought these snap ring pliers to use on snap rings. Not gonna be an easy find on eBay either. Saying it's forged stronger metal formula, quicker button operation, etc. Website acts like SRPCR112G is newer and better. Regardless of what you may be looking for/needĮdit: now that I look into it maybe there is only two differences in SO: (green) SRPC112G vs SRPCR112G, whatever that additional 'R' means. Obviously asking the truck guy may not help they could just try selling you whatever they want to sell you to make the sale/commission (especially if it means offloading inventory already on their truck vs ordering in) I understand the whole different colors thing Like 50 different ads for the same thing that visually looks the same but has a different base part number I just don't understand why their website (SO) has a million selections for the snap ring pliers that appear to still be essentially the same thing. If you have access to a tool truck, they're available every week if one needs to be warrantied. ![]() Seems like a waste of resources.įrom what I'm hearing ICON may not be as good as them One thing that is annoying about Icon sets is that even though they have lifetime warranty through a nearby physical store, it is not like a tool truck stocking tools that can replace a broken one individually.īreaking one Icon tool means getting a weird look and them asking you to swap the whole entire set even if the other 7/8 are perfectly fine. And the round tips are too thick to fit into any real circlip holes, requiring grinding that makes them even more weak. The "quick change" heads are hard to swap. Figured anything was better than nothing. I think cheapies are out of the question. Such as rebuilding an axle if it uses a circlip. And it's probably best to get a whole set to have all of them if needed. Which I'm sure is just re-branded Knipex on the red handle. However, ICON has probably come out with their version a year ago, claiming to compete with Matco. I have certain Knipex tools and it was a clear easy choice, when their competition alternatives are usually much shittier. What do you all think is the current best? If you want a more professional grade plier there are ones with better value than the Icon.Needed snap ring pliers for years now occasionally. To sum up If you don’t use them every day you’ll be happy with the Husky value. You can also find 5-6 piece Wera, Felo etc. However, for 54$ you can get a 12 piece Tekton screwdriver set that is made in America. The magnet tips are hopefully higher quality. I would hope the tips have better fit in screw heads. ![]() They have round shafts that are easier to get in tight spaces. Some of the screwdrivers have a spot by the handle where a wrench can be used to apply more torque for tough fasteners. ![]() Mechanics screwdrivers usually hold up better to cleaning. I used some of these every day for work and did not care for them. The fit of the slotted screwdrivers leaves a little something to be desired. The square rod is occasionally hard to fit in places and les comfortable to grip when steadying it or trying to spin it. I can say the handles on the Husky’s wear out quickly when getting cleaned frequently. Homeowners, maintenance, and non trade specific folks using these. The Husky ones are general purpose screwdrivers.
