## Description

Stanley J250G Proto Lock Ring -inch Horseshoe-inch Washer Pliers - 9-inch For spreading both soft iron horseshoe lock washers used on brakes and tempered steel lock rings used on gear and bearing shafts. Plastisol grips for added comfort. 9-inch Overall length 0.49-lbs Weight.

Review: Quality tool - A must have for external lock rings. Seems built well enough that it could be used to forcefully spread things apart if needed.
Review: Did the job perfectly - First of all, you can tell by the feel that these are a well-made pair of pliers. I needed them to remove the retainer clips from a 99 4Runner axle. The pen style retainer pliers that I had on hand just would not do the job. I struggled for about an hour trying to remove just one clip, did some research, and discovered these pliers. After they arrived, I was able to remove the rings in a matter of seconds. Well worth the price to reduce the aggravation. I would say that I would order them again, but the way these are made, they will probably last longer than I will.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How wide do these open? I need to know for sure, not about.**
A: Not for sure , but I think it's about 1 inch to 1 and 1/4 inch.

**Q: What is the width of the tip, while closed?**
A: 0.1365" measured with a digital caliper. Allow some 'wiggle room'.

**Q: Can this be used to remove threads from a candelabra bulb that broke off in the socket?**
A: I don't know why it would not work. I have used standard needle nose. Bend the metal base that was part of the bulb so you can get a grip on it. This might work well if you have limited room.

**Q: I purchased this lock ring plier in june of 2018, and one of the tips broke today/normal use. does this tool have a warranty?**
A: Stanley Proto supposedly offers a lifetime warranty on their hand tools. I bought a wrench a while back for a special job and the pin that held everything together snapped. I contacted Proto and sent them pictures. They wanted me to pay to ship it to them and then they would replace the pin. Not what I would consider professional in a warranty service. I shouldn’t have to pay to ship the broken tool to the manufacture for them to honor the warranty. So in other words, if you are willing to pay to have your broken pliers shipped to Stanley Proto, they may end up replacing them.
