Question Recommend pliers for circlips?

Can anyone recommend some decent priced (but effective!) pliers for the circlips within the Cat diffs?

I have a set of real cheap pliers and they are literally pants

There's a pair on the Schumacher website for about 9£ but I have no idea if they are any good. I'm on a look for a pair aswell since they ones I got from ebay just suck.

Thanks guys, I saw the ones on Schumacher and reckon they look good too.....but £9 for a pair of pliers? Eek.

Surely there must be a "generic" non-rc variant out there which costs half the price?

I use cheap needle nose plyers that I dremeled the tips down to fit cir clips. Cheap and easy to do.

I got some old pliers and stuck a dremel to them - that certainly did the trick. Proper cheapskate needle nose pliers
