Best 90° small snap ring plier?

[sicnarf247]

Hello garagejournal this my first thread!!

Anyways I have the smallest Wiha external 90° magic ring plier. Model 34625 with the .07" or 1.5 mm tip. These work amazing for the bigger snap rings I work with. I wish Wiha made the magic tip for smaller sizes but I'm guessing it gets too weak at that point.

So I need to buy another external 90° snap ring plier with the smallest tips. Wiha has the .35" or .9 mm standard tips. I've heard a lot about knipex pliers but the smallest ones look kinda wierd. Does anyone have the smallest Wiha or knipex?

By the way I'm working with OLD beat up blue points pr12 (can't find tip size on it but it's perfect) but the tips are uneven and shortened over years of use

Here's some pictures of my worn out blue point ring plier. Picture of my new magic ring wiha in use. Also a picture of the tiny ring I'm using my worn out blue point on (drives me crazy that it takes 2 minutes to take this ring out when it should take 5 seconds)

Knipex for me as well.

I really liked the Gedore circlip pliers but I read somewhere (might have been on here) that the metal used by Gedore was not as resilient as that used by Knipex, so I went for the Knipex.

Have a search or "snap ring" or "circlip" pliers...
