Could someone recommend a set of snap ring pliers that would work well for the snap rings that hold the swivel in place on Emmons/Marlen bell cranks? I have couple pairs but they are too big. Thanks

These work: https://www.amazon.com/Piece-Mini-Snap-Pliers-Vector/dp/B01MXZG9UD. They're cheap quality tools but they fit those small snap ring holes, which are ~0.04"

Thanks for that link, Ian. I had a cheap pair of pliers that worked perfectly until they didn't, after a tip broke off, and I've had the hardest time coming up with a replacement. The results of my attempts at grinding down a too-large tip have been crappy at best.

These are pretty crappy too but they work, and they're cheap and easy to acquire

I like! Old, clunky and hacked vs new.
