I ordered these for one and only one application. To remove the axle snap rings on the front hubs of 05+ Superduty. These work perfect and saved me hours and hours of fighting with these snap rings

Quality of the pliers is up to standard, and is a great value for the price. Just the right amount of stiffness and bendability. Super easy to use and fits where I need it!

Bought these to remove the snap ring on a Ford f-350 front axle. The cheaper snap ring pliers just broke, bought a stronger set but was to big to fit and expand in the limited space between the spline and hub. These pliers worked perfect, and are very strong.

The snap ring in the hub of a Ford F350 is particularly difficult to get out and re-install. I truly question the engineering associated with this hub design. That being said, even though I only needed these pliers for a few minutes....it is because of these pliers that I only needed them a few minutes. It was a bear before and I even bent up a few pair trying to make it work.I would recommend this purchase to anyone.

After going through several pairs of Lang reversible, ratcheting, snap ring pliers (the reversing switch can bind up and become damaged if you have a lot of tension on the tool when a snap ring pops off), I decided to move away from the all-in-one style of pliers. These Knipex pliers are a night and day difference from the Lang pliers. The angle of the pins hold the snap rings very securely. With the Lang pliers, snap rings would constantly pop off the pliers and zing across the room (which eventually causes the switch to fail) but with the Knipex pliers, you can wave the pliers around and bump the ring against shafts/housings and it stays securely in place on the pliers. I also find it's easier to get the rings seated in their grooves without the ratcheting feature like on the Langs because you don't have to try to squeeze the pliers to take tension off the ratchet lock and then release the lock with one hand while keeping the snap ring lined up with the groove with the other hand. With the Knipex pliers, it's very simple; just get the snap ring lined up with the groove and release the pliers. Knipex knows how to build pliers that last. These are not my first Knipex pliers and they certainly won't be my last.
