    Like most above, I only use snap rings pliers a few times a year. Most I have had were terrible until I bought this one:

    I like it because it works on internal and external rings with the flip of the switch, and you can interchange tips for various sizes and angles. And if you break a tip, you just need to replace that tip and not the whole tool. I’ve used it on the tiniest of snap rings up to the larger ones used to secure the Mercury Dyna-Floats on the larger two-cylinder Mark and Merc series Motors with no complaints. Can’t speak to the Harbor Freight set, but this tool has treated me well, and it is only one plier in my tool chest, not a whole set taking up space.
