If you can afford, SnapOn, Mac.
Try Lowe's, Kobalt with 4 heads $15.00, lifetime Warranty, or if you want better quality try KD with numerous tips $40. (I beleive I have both KD and SnapOn, no problems) |
Thanks Turbonut . I ended up got this ...we'll see how good it is .... https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/acurazi...03e4d43068.png

idk about best.. it's just a simple ass tool
but the ones I use have interchangeable ring prongs.. 2 straight with varying tip size and two angled with the same big / small tips. the ones I have also are switchable from prying by squeezing or opening up. Can't remember the brand and not in the garage right now, but pretty much the same as these channellocks |
These pliers worked very well for removing snap rings on A/C Pulley.. it was real tight and very little room to maneuver.

Got the AC done few days ago but yeah it is PITA !

I got a 4-piece set of (I think) Craftsman. They include straight and angled, and squeeze to open and squeeze to close.
But just from normal usage a couple times, I'm pretty sure the little tips are starting to bend. Which means it's a matter of time until they break off and render the pliers useless. Maybe warranty-able? But in the future, if I had to do it again, I'd probably go that removable/replaceable tip route. |
