I purchased both this forged version and the similar sized but machined 44 11 J3 version. These pliers are excellent and very stout. The day before, while servicing my Bosch demolition hammer, I managed to remove its internal retaining ring with cheap pliers and screw drivers, but couldn't reinstall it. Ordered these two knipex pliers for next day delivery. This forged version easily replaced the internal retaining ring, but when I attempted to remove it again, the thickness of this forged version was just barely too large to reach the ring holes. Tried the machined version listed above, which is very slightly thinner, but still extremely strong and well made. It fit perfect and was able to remove and also reinstall the clip easily. Keeping the machined version and returning the forged version. Both excellent though.

Had to remove some snap rings holding wheel bearings in a hub and they were too large for my cheap, universal, reversible pliers. Ordered these, and man what a difference!These are much sturdier and more confidence inspiring than the cheap ones. They don't feel like they're fighting the snap rings, even the big ones on these wheel bearings. I'll be adding other sizes as needed without question. Only downside is the tips aren't replaceable, but they are quite hard. Can't see wearing them out in my lifetime as a homegamer/amateur track car builder!

Nice tool but very light weight. I bought the tool to use on my Ford wheel hub, but was too small on the tip and too light weight.

I am working on a 97 BMW E36 M3 and the snap ring holding in the rear bearing is quite large/substantial at 90 mm or 3.5 inches. None of the snap ring pliers from the local auto parts or discount tool store would open wide enough to remove this ring and were actually quite flimsy. Without any more options to remove the large snap ring, I decided to order this Knipex 4811J3. When the tool arrived I was impressed at how hefty and substantial it is. It was the perfect size and had a great feel to it. Removing the snap ring with the Knipex pliers was effortless. Although a little pricey, I would say the tool is worth it. I've heard others say that when a tool does a job that no other tool could have accomplished, the tool has paid for itself. This was totally true with this Knipex tool.
