NAPA will get you done but iIf you want a _really_ good set, order Armstrong 68-079 from Wallace Supply of exit 17N. Best int/ext snapring plier set I’ve ever owned. The only problem with the irwin products from NAPA is they often don’t have the rigidity to remove really corroded rings, or anything quite large like turbocharger backing plate rings or transmission/crank rings. ---

Adam will they be strong enough to remove nipple/testicle rings? I have some that just dont seem to budge with the harbor freight pliers I have. ---

If you want to try it have at it but I will be far out of visual/audible range and you better as fuck disinfect them when done with whatever you plan to do. ---

I got a nice set of blue handled bitches from Napa. Came with 3 different interchangable prong size shits. Feel nice and stiff in my hand, not spongy noodle dick like, seem to be working fine so far. Doubt they would pull a hefty clip off something like a tractor trailer or some shit. but worth the $22 i spent on them so far. ---

Thanks guys! It turns out that I didn’t know for sure what the tool I needed was called but I found a set of what I needed. They are called lock ring pliers. ---
