Tekton PRR90007 5 Inch External Retaining Ring Pliers Set, 2-Piece (0.037 in. Tips, Straight and 90-Degree)

The 0.037 tips are perfect for the small external rings on hobby engine and RC parts where bigger pliers just mangle things. The reduced-twist action keeps the ring from cocking sideways. Both straight and 90-degree come in handy more than I expected.

Good grip span for my hands, tips are precise. The 5-inch length limits leverage on really tight rings but for small work it's ideal.

Does the job perfectly. No complaints.

I do a lot of snowblower and chainsaw work and those little external rings on shafts used to be a wrestling match with oversized pliers. These have fine tips that seat in the small holes without slipping, and the spring action is smooth so the ring doesn't shoot across the garage. The 90-degree pair reaches the rings inside recessed grooves where straight pliers can't get angle. Tekton finish quality is consistent with their other tools I own. At this sale price it's a steal.

Works well for its intended small rings. I bent one tip slightly when I got impatient and used it on a ring that was too heavy for it. Good tool if you respect its limits.

The straight pair had a slightly bent tip out of the packaging. Haven't gotten around to the exchange yet. The 90-degree one works fine, so mixed experience.

These are my go-to now for freewheel and hub retaining rings. Small tips, controlled spread, and the handles don't bite into my palms. Wish I'd bought these years ago instead of fighting with adjustable pliers.

Feels like a quality tool in hand. Tips match the small ring holes well. Would like a storage pouch included, but otherwise no complaints.
