Weak design for larger snap rings

Bought the product to remove a large snap ring. Broke one attachment and bent another before grinding down an old pair of pliers and using them to get the job done.

    Comments about Performance Tools 5-Piece Snap Ring Pliers Set:

    I didn't heed the warnings and thought but surely these would work for the job I was doing, how could something made of metal be THAT poor? Pretty poor apparently. Even at [$] they weren't worth that if they don't work at all. Abandon hope, all ye who purchase.

                I like that this c-clip/snap ring plier set was very inexpensive and comes with multiple attachments, but the first time I needed to use it to remove a snap ring from an axle/hub, I found it just couldn't spread the ring enough - had to assist the removal with a screw driver.

                Other than that, I'm keeping it and it did actually help with my repair.

                      Not bad for a [$] set of snap ring pliers. Would not recommend for pro or heavy use.

                      • Q:

                        Is there a snap ring plier smaller than 3/8"? I am trying to remove the snap ring from a PRHT latch on a Mazda Miata, and the smallest 3/8" setting on my plier is just a hair to big to fit into the grooves.

                          No, this is the only size of snap ring pliers we offer online. I would recommend visiting a local Advance Auto Parts store where they may carry a smaller size.
