Recommend me some circlip pliers

[Selectamatic]

Fed up of getting frustrated trying to remove circlips with pliers that are well past their best...

Can anyone recommend some decent ones please?

 

[Kevtherev]

Sealey ones are good.
If you want very large circlip pliers for digger pins etc then Spaldings do a set of three.

BERGEN 4PC 7" NI-FE FINISH CIRCLIP PLIERS SET IN ZIP CASE B1755 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B013JYU1UM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_xj7oCb01FYKQZ

Got this set and quite happy with the quality of them. Not overly expensive either.

Knipex are good

Another vote for Knipex. Top quality tools

 

[Sharpy]

For any sort of pliers Knipex are the boys. Only thing I don't like is the price!

Another vote for Knipex , good quality and not ridiculously priced, not cheap. But then cheap are usually cheap for a reason?

cant beat knipex. I keep buying them one at a time to replace cheaper ones as they break

Knipex are great, although my current set are Neilson - I think it's this set https://www.amazon.co.uk/Neilsen-inch-Circlip-Pliers-CT1459-4pce/dp/B073XP76TP

They work fine & have been used in non-circlip applications I'm tempted to get the bigger ones too.

I have some larger ones from Britool which are ok, and the smaller ones are just bog standard from signet I think

 

[cosmagedon]

Another vote for knipex, I've also got snap on ones but they are just re-badged and more expensive knipex versions [emoji106] If your doing any big ones definitely invest in a ratchet type

Have a Teng set here. Good, but not great.

Sounds like Knipex are the best bet. Have a pair of Knipex wire cutters and find them excellent.

Dad bought a set of Facom rack circlip pliers years ago and they are good although seem quite pricey nowadays tho....

on a quick count i think i have near 20 pairs of them, they vary for all shapes and sizes so to speak, mostly have facom, sp, beta, gedore and i think one or two knipex.
any of them above are good, i never looked but you might be able to see some good used ones on the bay, if you had time a selection could be acquired.
like the lads say, the you wont go wrong with the knipex.
a set like this id be a good starting point and id assume it would cover most of the bases for you.

Knipex, good quality but not silly dear

I used a Mac set last place I worked and they never slipped, very good pliers that also reversed easily.

They looked identical to this set.

This is the Knipex set I bought from Prime Tools. They’ve gone up a bit since I bought them.
