Deano400:
Can any one recommend decent internal and external circlip pliers? They seem to range from about £3 to £125 with varying reviews from excellent to rubbish for the whole price range. Any advice would be welcome. TIA.

Most of mine are inherited from my dad so are 60+ years old (the type with re-grindable tips!) - theres various internal and external sizes.
However, bought a set wike these several years ago - obviously chinese - they are ideal for the tricky mastercylinder circlips. They have been excellent and show no signs of wear.

Unsure if these would be within price range for you

From a experinced tool shop,  Bahco are very durable for anything I've got of the brand with materials usually well up to intended use.

My experience which is limited is I wouldn’t by ones for £3.00. My first ones were draper, they were absolute shite! I would definitely spend a bit more to get descent ones. Sorry it’s a while since I bought but I now have Halfords Advanced. I’m not using that much but so far so good.

Apart from one Snapon pair that seem to have accidentally fallen into my toolbox back when I worked for a race team, I have several pairs of circlip pliers bought from Halfords such as right angled ones, all bought to do specific jobs as required. Never had a problem with them.
