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

made in USA, good price.

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.

Let me start by letting you know that I'm a mechanical engineer with 12 years of hands on experience designing, building, repairing, improving, and maintaining manufacturing equipment and I have significant amount of time in race car development and auto racing (and general auto repair for that matter) - not to toot my own horn but its fair to say, I can quite accurately make assessments of hand tools used in these fields. For the price, these pliers are no doubt a five-star product. Add the ability to change from internal to external in a quicker fashion and they would be worthy of another 30 bucks tacked onto their price tag. Many reviewers say that the points are all bent and it made me concerned that the ones I got would be bent too. To my disappointment (and ultimately to my delight) all of my points are bent. But here is the trick - all the points are bent in the direction you would want them to be bent in order to help prevent the snap ring from popping off. This is the case regardless of which way you are using them, i.e. external or internal rings. I don't know if the manufacture intended this to happen or if its just a consequence of the manufacturing process but I'm glad they did it cause its brilliant. Now I've only used a couple of these pliers on a few tasks so far but they do work and they work very effectively. They do what they are supposed to do and nothing more. The big pillow handle grips are mostly a gimmick but it does add to the comfort somewhat. Fair to say that you don't get anything else with the tools costing three times the price. That said, I wouldn't dare go any cheaper then these. If you do, you may find very poor quality tools at anything below this price point. These are 100% better than anything your going to find at harbor freight and pretty much just as good as you're going to get on the tool trucks. Oh and by the way, the storage case is actually really nice. The case holds the pliers well and it isn't one of those cases that is much larger than it should be. I was going to take each plier out and put them in an Ernst plier rack but since the case is so good and small enough not take up an excessive amount of space, the pliers will be staying in the case.

If you’re looking for a snap ring plier set and have the money to spend these tools Deliver quality to your daily task. I can see myself using these 30 years from now to build quality is very great

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.
