Need source for circlip pliers
Can anyone suggest a source for circlip (I believe that's what they're called) pliers that have tips small enough to get into those tiny holes on the clips that are used on 4 or 5mm motor shafts? The one's I've seen have tips too large and I really don't want to file or butcher a pair with larger tips. Your help is always appreciated.

Your name wasn't even close. They are snap ring pliers. http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&keyw...s%20set&page=1
Not picking on you, I know its hard to find what you are looking for, if your not sure of the name. I know!!! Mark http://www.bing.com/search?q=snap+ri...sp=5&sk=AS3SC1 |

Actually they are also called circlip pliers. I work on old motorcycles and the service manuals always refer to circlip pliers (circlips/snap rings were used to hold the front shock lowers and uppers together). Circlip may just be an antiquated name used only by those who work on old basket-cases like me

skcope, I stand corrected. In all my years, I have never heard them called that. Maybe, it's an east coast thing!

Born in LA; raised in Hawaii; married and settled in California; and have never heard them called anything but "circlip" pliers:-))))))))))))))) Les I forgot: Be sure you get the kind with replaceable jaw tips, so you can go straight in, or at 90 degrees. |

This is the one I have most trouble with in the 3mm shaft size ,out of all the circlip pliers I have and that's quite a few, none come close to working
why circlip mfgs dont list tools to suit the clips is beyond me. http://www.google.com.au/imgres?q=ci...04&tx=92&ty=65 |
