Review: Sturdy, opens very wide, high quality from Germany - Job: Honda Fit A/C clutch (worked great with caveats). After buying a pair of snap ring pliers from the auto parts store (they were expensive, didn’t open wide enough, and broke immediately), I came to desertcart to find something higher quality. I was encouraged when I saw it stamped Germany, hoping that the craftsmanship would be high. They didn’t disappoint. When they showed up, I gave them a squeeze and you could feel the weight and quality. They would obviously open wide enough. These are extremely well made. As one reviewer mentioned, the pins won’t fit into the holes of an OEM Honda AC Clutch snap ring but did fit perfectly into the aftermarket snap ring. This wasn’t a big deal for me, but if I absolutely needed to reuse the OE snap ring, I would have filed the pins a little bit so they would fit. Not ideal but very simple solution. EDIT: they also will not fit the smaller ring, OE or aftermarket. The smaller one is closer and easier so I made do with other tools. Bottom line: great for automotive work. If I found myself needing to do more work like this, I would buy this brand in a number of sizes and tip styles.
