For the price you can get them for it has paid for itself many times over in my case I added a few grease fittings as my buddy said I have a problem have a problem with wanting to grease stuff .

Sure can't any more I've had them almost a decade, bought from a dedicated tool supply website

Pictures help, looks like it's this 8 piece set. A bit above my budget right now though.

I believe they had a set where four of the pliars were bigger than that those may be to small imo, anyways a few more 4 letter words, flying lost rings into uncharted depths of your garage, and busted knuckles that 200 bucks will be worth it in my experience.

I have the Astro Pneumatic Tools brand snap ring pliers and they look identical to yours.

I don't see any Astro snap ring pliers that look just like the Knipex ones. They have a 10 piece set that looks kinda cheap and 2 four piece sets that look strong but not quite the same aside from the red grips. I do have some Astro tools that are holding up well.

LOL, may be but I just don't use them that often.

I have the same cement mixer that I bought used. Mixed 2 pallets of concrete with it in a weekend. It needed some tightening here and there but did the job and still works. I got my money out of it already. Was a sore puppy for a few days though.

80 bucks for four good ones none have 45s though apparently you can visit the knipex store or jb tools. Unsure what icons are going for and unlike my knipex, can't speak from experience on how good they are.

My beloved HF air gauge combo quit on me this morning. Had to go to Lowes. Found a similar Kobalt one there.

I prefer my Milton inflator actually. I've had it for at least 30 years, just keeps on going. Made in USA too.
