Last question on tools for now I promise.
I have just spent the better part of 30 min trying to remove the C clip from the front drive shaft so that I can tighten up my wheel bearing. In the end I gave up as it was getting dark and I was getting pissed off.
It’s not often I need to use circlip pliers but when you do it really makes a difference having the right bit of kit over trying to use screw drivers and then normal pliers and nails and if you do get it off it inevitably flies in a direction not to be found again or you end up taking skin off your hand.
I am fed up having to bodge a plan and need to get a set of circlip pliers.
Here is the question, do I get a set with one main body and different heads or go the full Monty and get a full set of dedicated circlip pliers.
I have found in the past when I have used the kind that you change the heads on they do have quite a bit of play in them and are not always the best quality but hen how often do you use a pair of circlip pliers?
