ABSTRACT:
A snap-ring pliers for facilitating quick and easy engagement of the jaw portions thereof with the free ends of a snap-ring includes a pair of pivotally connected handles, and a pair of elongate jaws, one of which extends from each of the handles, with each of the elongate jaws defining a groove extending along the length of the jaw. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, each groove defines an elongate base portion recessed into the jaw and ramp portions laterally adjacent each side of the base portion, with the ramp portions being inclined from a face of the jaw toward the base portion of the groove to facilitate engagement of the jaws with the free ends of a snap-ring, even when the ends of the snap-ring cannot be seen. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the jaws extend from each of the handles along a line which is at an angle relative to the pivot axis and to the plane in which the handles are pivoted.
