Hi All,

decent make of circlip pliers, always get stuck at a circlip irrelevant of the job.

are there a standardised set of size jaw pins for a range of circlip sizes?? anything from quad bike master cylinder to topper gearboxes!

Wow, they look the dog goolies! Good price too.

If you don’t want that kind of thing I’d go and get a knipex set of four. Innies, outies, bent and straight.

I too went the knipex route.

I reckon I'd lose the wee bits off the shiny dogs danglies in about 27 seconds flat

I think you have to loosen the clip with a small chisel, or even a screwdriver (I know imagine) with a light tap of the hammer, before you go at them with the pliers. Or we'll all have to cutback on the Weetabix ........

Knipex, britool. But for really big circlips i got a pair of giant racheting ones with interchangeable tips from vapormatic years ago not expensive either but they have since stopped supplying them guess they didnt sell well enough?
