Review: The right tool for Ford Super Duty axle snap rings - Other reviews led me to believe this was the correct tool for Ford Super Duty axle snap rings. Those reviews are all correct, and this tool was worth every penny. I bought the 9.25-inch version and had the same experience. If you are working with 2011-2016 Super Duty front axles, these pliers are the right tool for the job.
Review: Perfect for Dana 60 hubs - Perfect for Dana 60 hubs. After trying a couple different other pairs of snap ring pliers that didn't cut it, these worked perfectly. Took it out without issue. Can't recommend these enough.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for Dana 60 hubs

Perfect for Dana 60 hubs. After trying a couple different other pairs of snap ring pliers that didn't cut it, these worked perfectly. Took it out without issue. Can't recommend these enough.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sturdy, opens very wide, high quality from Germany
*by C***A on August 7, 2023*

Job: Honda Fit A/C clutch (worked great with caveats). After buying a pair of snap ring pliers from the auto parts store (they were expensive, didn’t open wide enough, and broke immediately), I came to Amazon to find something higher quality. I was encouraged when I saw it stamped Germany, hoping that the craftsmanship would be high. They didn’t disappoint. When they showed up, I gave them a squeeze and you could feel the weight and quality. They would obviously open wide enough. These are extremely well made. As one reviewer mentioned, the pins won’t fit into the holes of an OEM Honda AC Clutch snap ring but did fit perfectly into the aftermarket snap ring. This wasn’t a big deal for me, but if I absolutely needed to reuse the OE snap ring, I would have filed the pins a little bit so they would fit. Not ideal but very simple solution. EDIT: they also will not fit the smaller ring, OE or aftermarket. The smaller one is closer and easier so I made do with other tools. Bottom line: great for automotive work. If I found myself needing to do more work like this, I would buy this brand in a number of sizes and tip styles.
