Park Tool RP-5 Snap Ring Pliers 1.7mm

Park Tool RP-5 Snap Ring Pliers 1.7mm are built for removing and installing internal snap rings — the kind you'll encounter on brakes, bottom brackets, and dropper posts. The straight blades open to 22mm, covering a wide range of larger-diameter internal rings that smaller pliers simply can't reach. Heat-treated steel construction and vinyl-covered handles mean these will hold up to regular workshop use without wearing out your hand in the process.

The 1.7mm tip diameter is matched to the pin holes found on most standard internal snap rings. Whether you're servicing a stuck dropper post or pulling apart a bottom bracket shell, having the right tool prevents chewed-up rings and frustration — a generic set of pliers won't give you the same control or fit.
