For an all-round solution to handling circlips, get your hands on this pliers set from GEDORE. It comes with four pairs of bent and straight pliers that make light work of installing or removing internal or external circlip rings via their lug holes. The bent versions have 90° angled tips that let you use an offset position to access circlips in tight spaces. As they're made of robust chrome vanadium steel, they hold their own in the face of impact and corrosion.
