For removing the little circlips when servicing RS Forks.

Can anyone recommend a good one? Have one I got off EBAY that was really cheap, and is rubbish.

Gedore ones I have been using for the last 6 months are pretty good but not cheap.

I use a Halfords one for my forks (yes, I know) and it seems to be fine. Bought a set of these [url= http://www.screwfix.com/p/circlip-pliers-set-4-piece/43041 ]http://www.screwfix.com/p/circlip-pliers-set-4-piece/43041[/url] to get my hubs apart (internal circlips) and they also seem to be fine.

cheap draper ones (from robert dyas I think) here that convert from internal to external. Just the job for occasional use.

Buy the tiny individual ones rather than one multi.

Cool. Draper it is.

Two quid including postage off EBay really was too good to be true. Cheers all.
