Snap Ring Pliers

Guys - what are you using for snap ring pliers?  The Proto ones I have are just barely up to the task (would like bigger tips and the overall "stretch" is just about maxed-out to get the brake stay snap ring on-and off).

Thanks guys.  Anyone know what "tip" size we need?   I checked the manual and doesn't specifically list it.  Or if the referenced Channel Lock set has big enough "tips" then that's cool too.

these are what i got for the snap ring for the brake stay:  https://www.amazon.com/Yescom-Professional-External-Internal-Straight/dp/B01M1EGFHX/ref=sr_1_20?ie=UTF8&qid=1535752864&sr=8-20&keywords=snap+ring+pliers

it is a tight fit in the holes but makes it easy work despite that.

Look around for a set of ratcheting snap ring pilers with a full set of tips well worth the money
