Lisle 38700 Spindle Snap Ring Pliers For Ford Super Duty

I first bought an aftermarket set that bent immediately as I tried to open the Snap Ring. I had to reassemble everything until I got these. I was nervous to do the work all over but these opened the ring very easily and I was on my way to repair the truck. You need these.

I didn't want to have to buy these but after I did it made the job very easy. Shouldn't have wasted my time trying to do the wheel bearing job without them. I highly suggest these snap ring pliers if you have a super duty. You won't regret it. Small disclaimer, I did have to slightly bend them as they were off but it wasn't a big deal.

Awesome! I spent an hour with good heavy duty snap ring pliers from Harbor Freight and gave up. Found these from a YouTube video. Was able to get the ring out on the 2nd try in under a minute. Also the ring went back in on the first try in 10 seconds. The tips are slightly off, not matching length but still worked perfect.

Awesome product got the job done I needed at a fraction of cost!

PSA-----Can get the job done. With the set I recieved, one pin assemble ends up shorter than the other when mounted on the pliers which cocks the circlip at an angle making installation of the new clip a little more difficult. Try to adjust with loosening Allen screws, but there is no adjustment. The pin assemblies are the same but flipped when installed.

First set of super duty hubs, start tearing into it, I see a snap ring, no biggie right? Snap! Wrong! There goes my snap ring pliers. That snap ring is one tough customer, it's very stiff. I found a big set of snap ring pliers at the hardware store, I had to modify them slightly, even then, they kept popping off. I got this set before I did the other side, it seriously was like working on a different truck, the pliers are curved/shaped to fit around the shaft, the locking function holds it open, it's night and day different. Lisle for the win (again) on this set!

I have been needing locking type snap ring pliers and these Lisle model 38700 are amazing!! The quality is outstanding they are made of thick hardened steel and the locking mechanism works so easy when you have the snap ring in place. I used these on a Ford 5R55S transmission that has a snapring on the output shaft deep inside the case with very little room to use non-locking pliers. With these from Lisle you lock the snapring open and you can have a hand free for a light or a tool to help you guide the snapring in the groove of the shaft before releasing the pliers.

check aliment on tangs and tighten screws

This tool was a must for working on a ford front hub assembly as it has a long reach to get inside the hub assembly ,it works so well made the job easy .

Great for big snap rings

This work well for removing and installing super duty snap rings

They did the job but still required some fiddling. Definitely built strong enough but still pretty bulky. I'm sure they saved some curse words from being used. Will be put away to be used again.

Super 😄
