Lang Tools (3495) 12-Piece Fixed Tip Combination Internal/External Snap Ring Pliers Set

Son buenas, como algunos usuarios de USA tengo una queja similar, le falta control de calidad a Lang Tools con estas pinzas, los pines están un poco desalineados, sin embargo son totalmente funcionales y espero sean resistentes, son hechas en USA (o con normas de ahí) y no en China como la mayoría de estas herramientas; como las adquirí a un muy buen precio no tengo quejas y las conservaré. El ángulo está muy bien (0°, 45° y 90°). Otro punto a notar, es que seguramente durante la manipulación del paquete o en la bodega, o agitaron la caja o la manipularon bruscamente ya que venían todas las pinzas revueltas y algunas rayaron a otras, esto no afecta su funcionamiento pero sí su apariencia.

Very pleased with the set, quality made tools.

This is a good quality set that insures you're almost never left with a snap ring you can't remove. They are good quality, and for their price compared to snap-on, and the fact that snap ring pliers are not an everyday tool for me, this is a good set.

This set of snap ring pliers provides a wide selection of the most common pin sizes and nose angles and the build quality is excellent. While changing from inside to outside operation is a little more time consuming than the "cam action" pliers offered elsewhere, it only takes about 30 seconds to remove the handle pivot screw and then replace the screw in an alternate location to reverse the action, which I find perfectly acceptable for something that doesn't require changing very often. Also the simplicity and precision of the pivot screw design compared to the "cam" design provides a smoother movement with better pin alignment than my old cam action pliers (which are rather sloppy and make it more difficult to hold the snap ring). Some reviewers have complained that the pins on the Lang Tools snap ring pliers are not perfectly straight, and this is true, but this is what you want and is NOT a design or quality defect. Pliers with perfectly straight pins make it more difficult to hold the compressed or expanded "opened" snap ring because the snap ring tends to slide off the pins. By setting the pins on the pliers at a slight angle, the angle of the pins captures the snap ring against the nose of the pliers and keeps the opened snap ring from flying off the pliers. This same angled pin design works for both inside and outside snap rings because the angle effectively reverses when the pliers are reset for inside or outside action -- a very clever and useful design. Due to this feature and due to the tight tolerance and wide selection of pliers in the set, I have found that it is actually much easier to remove snap rings that are in difficult to access locations. With this Lang set usually I can remove the snap ring on my first try, whereas with my old cam action pliers with changeable pins, it took me many tries and fiddling with the pin setting in the pliers before I could get the snap ring off. Thus for me, the Lang set is a time saver -- and is certainly a frustration saver -- I really hated fiddling with the replaceable pins on my old "all in one" cam action pliers. I am so pleased with this Lang Tools snap ring plier set that my old pliers are now in the trash.

I use these almost daily. I got ride of all my replaceable tip ones when I got these . The quality is fantastic. I had a proto set before but most of those went missing or borrowed and never came back. Absolutely great solid pliers.
