Can anyone tell me where I can buy, in the UK, a pair of snapring pliers with tips small enough to unscrew a convoy retaining ring from the driver pill?
I’ve scoured amazon but most of them don’t indicate tip size. Tried B&Q, they had nothing below about 2mm. Even just know what tip size I need would be handy, is 1mm small enough or does it need to be thinner?
Do you have a pin vise drill? You can probably buy one from Amazon for $10.
There’s actually a tool that’s better than snap ring pliers for opening these. I don’t know what it’s called though. It looks like a bar with 2 parallel arms sticking out. One of the arms can be moved back and forth along the bar. The tip of each arm has the pins in it.
That’s what I’ve always recommended over here. And CRX did.
But I stopped telling that, for apparently people want to buy specific tools for it.
I use an SS nail and an awl that rests with the handle in the palm of my hand.
