10-Inch Snap Ring Pliers Set with Interchangeable Tips and Carrying Case
Brief Overview
This comprehensive snap ring pliers set delivers the flexibility demanded by shops that handle internal and external retaining ring installations across multiple vehicle and equipment types. The ratchet-locking mechanism prevents accidental jaw release during installation, while the eight interchangeable tips—in straight and three angled configurations—eliminate the need to stock multiple single-tool units. Pair this with single snap ring pliers for backup capacity, or add self-adjusting piston ring pliers to round out your ring-work capabilities.
Key Features

Why Resellers Choose This Set
The ratchet-locking feature eliminates the primary failure mode of snap ring work: jaw creep during installation. Unlike manual-lock pliers that rely on user pressure to maintain position, this set's positive engagement allows technicians to work with confidence on both internal (engine block piston rings, pump components) and external applications (shaft retainers, bearing housings). The 266mm length provides sufficient reach without the hand strain of longer tools.
The interchangeable tip system reduces your inventory footprint while expanding application coverage. Technicians appreciate the straight and angled options; many jobs require multiple angles within a single service call, and having all eight tips in one carrying case beats searching for multiple tools.
Recommended Pairing
Stock this set with individual snap ring pliers for shops that need backup capacity or specialized single-tip applications. For shops handling significant engine rebuild work, the addition of these ring pliers complements general automotive hand tool assortments without overlap.
Stock this set for reliable profit on a professional-grade tool that shops will return to—repeatedly.
