These are great, I bought them after slicing my hands to the bone jimmying around with screwdrivers and needle nose pliers on my backhoe to get a snap ring off. These are so easy to use that for fun a couple times I went to my JD 710 and took a snap ring on and off... The ratcheting action is solid, sturdy and wonderful. The tips seem well built, and there are various degrees for any application. The only issue so far is that i loaned them to a friend who couldn't use them taking off something on the front axle of his truck as they were too bulky to fit into the space they needed to.
