Recommend me some retaining ring pliers

[ARSmay]

I generally buy Craftsman when I can, but can someone recommend some good snap ring/retaining ring pliers for use during my upcoming FJ62 front axle rebuild. I've got the bargain ChiCom brass drift set coming from HarborFrieght, and I have everything else but the snap ring pliers.
I love adding new tools to my kit.
Thanks!

Get a set with flat blades instead of the round tips, i think that kind are called tranmission pliers. They are a lot easier to use, at least for the big clip at the end of the birf.

Any of them will work for you. I have the craftsman ones and have had no problems with them so far.

I broke one of the bronze tips on mine fighting with a snap ring, thats something to consider.
