Recommend pliers for circlips?

[Cardnim]

Can anyone recommend some decent priced (but effective!) pliers for the circlips within the Cat diffs?

I have a set of real cheap pliers and they are literally pants :(

There's a pair on the Schumacher website for about 9£ but I have no idea if they are any good. I'm on a look for a pair aswell since they ones I got from ebay just suck.

The ones on Schumachers website are Whia and are very good.

Thanks guys, I saw the ones on Schumacher and reckon they look good too.....but £9 for a pair of pliers? Eek.

Surely there must be a "generic" non-rc variant out there which costs half the price?

You are, but who can blame you these days!

Good product tbh so worth the money.

Got some surgical steel ones you can have for forty quid if you like ;)

I use cheap needle nose plyers that I dremeled the tips down to fit cir clips. Cheap and easy to do.

I got some old pliers and stuck a dremel to them - that certainly did the trick. Proper cheapskate needle nose pliers:D
