Post Snap Ring PLiers
I need a new set. I have had these for a few years and they are nothing but junk!

What's out that this is good for external and internal snap rings yet doesn't cost an arm and a leg?

I have a set you can borrow. Blue point (snap on) but you can find good sets of them at just about any parts store even harbor freight. I would check with NAPA or CW first for a decent set. If you can wait, go to the tri state swap meet and buy from the vendor there. Also Greybeards rod n custom show also had a tool vendor there last year. That is in November on thanksgiving weekend!

I think mine were about $25 from Sears and have worked well.

A appreciate the offer to borrow, but I really need my own set. Twice now these have caused much pain and anguish. This time, they simply failed to perform, so it's time. Maybe I can swing by a sears and see what Craftsman has to offer. Would love some blue-points, but I fear they will be expensive.

if you want i can get a few prices on blue point and snap-on's sets for ya, they are by far the best, and if ya want em' i'll pick em' up for ya and you can pay me back, he comes every thursday, and their warranty is unbeatable!

For the shade tree mechanic that uses snap ring pliers 3 maybe 4 times a year, I think I better stick with a cheaper pair. I may take you up on that offer Corey when there is a tool that I use regularly.

Even as a technician I barely used them, maybe as much as you.
