Performance Tool 5-Piece Snap Ring Plier Set

The Performance Tool 5-Piece Snap Ring Plier Set gives you one pliers handle and four interchangeable heads for internal and external snap rings, so you can reach rings at straight, 45 and 90 degree angles on UTV and shop jobs. Everything stores in the included case, and it carries a lifetime warranty.

The set is built around one spring retainer assembly with vinyl grip handles and four 1.3 mm tip assemblies. Swap heads for straight, 45 degree or 90 degree access, and use the set on internal or external snap rings. Wilmar sells this set under its Project Pro line.

This snap ring plier set is a budget-friendly way to cover circlips and retaining rings in awkward spots, and it works as a basic snap ring removal tool for bearings, pins and shafts. If you were comparing a snap ring pliers set with interchangeable snap ring pliers heads against internal external snap ring pliers sold separately, this set keeps the angles in one case. Keep it with your mechanic tools and UTV tools; for larger rings or a reversible single tool, see the Performance Tool reversible snap ring pliers, or step up to full-size circlip pliers and retaining ring pliers.
