Retainer Ring Wrench functions well to compress or expand the ring. Multiple tips are interchangeable for varying jobs. Takes some practise to use wrench with confidence. A little expensive when compared to Harbor Freight, however, life has taught me, you do get what you pay for.

Easy to use, and they appear very sturdy. The first pair I bought were much cheaper and actually broke after third use. Stick with these.

When the job calls for removing and re-installing retaining rings, you need retaining ring pliers. No other tool that will do…. period. So, when you need one, don’t cheap out, get the best. The Channellock has better features, feels better in the hand, and is made in the USA. A few dollars more goes a long way.

These are well build and highly functional retaining ring piers. They work as expected and are the best I have used. They come with several option tips that are easily interchanged.

Tool worked well for my needs. Having 4 tip configurations was very handy as I ended up using two of them for my repair project.
