Customers are mixed about the interchangeability of the pliers. Some mention that they come with a number of different tips that can be swapped out with the included ones, and that it's a neat design.

Not great for small, small snap rings
3 Stars
Not great for small, small snap rings
Dislike: The build of the plier jaws was something I would expect from a chinese factory. In the photo here you can notice the holes are drilled on different places in the jaws. Also the holes are not drilled at the same angle. And then....the jaws do not close enough to allow small, small snap rings to be removed.LIKE: The pliers are built in such a manner that I can disassemble them and grind/file the jaws so they will be able to remove small snap rings.I have removed half of the gapping so far and have it down to a 2mm gap as pictured. But this was as after 45 minutes of disassemble-file-assemble.... disassemble-file-assemble....disassemble-file-assemble. I still can't remove the snap ring pictured yet, but I think I will be able to get there in the end and these pliers will work good then.
