Budget snap ring plier for carb clips?

[Guest]

Mine were broken when I did the clips, I had to use the external ones and
Pull them open while trying to hold all in place,pita.
Looking for a long nose replacement or maybe a 90 degree one.
Any ideas?
Thanks

No more use than they will get, get a cheap set at Harbor Freight or Northern Tools.

How and why do you hang your bike upside-down?

I ground the tips on a set of long reach needle nose pliers to fit the eyes on the snap rings. Works the best of anything I have used.

I finally just gave up and bought the correct tool:

I've saved hours and hours of farting around when dealing with carb and master cylinder snap rings. Nothing like getting it on the first try.
