Irwin 2078900 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I need separate pliers for internal and external snap rings, or will the Irwin 2078900 do both?
One tool covers both. The Irwin 2078900 is a convertible internal/external snap ring plier, so you reconfigure the same 6-1/2 inch tool for retaining rings seated in a bore or on a shaft instead of carrying two dedicated pliers.
2) Does the Irwin 2078900 snap ring plier come with the tips, or do I buy those separately?
Four interchangeable tips come with the tool. You swap them to move between retaining-ring sizes and between internal and external work, so there is nothing extra to order to use it as described.
3) Is the Irwin 2078900 a single plier or a multi-piece set?
It ships as an individual tool, not a multi-plier set. The model 2078900 is one convertible plier body plus its four interchangeable tips.
4) What size is the Irwin 2078900 snap ring plier, and is it right for tight engine bay work?
Overall length is 6-1/2 inches, a compact body that is easier to control in confined spaces like automotive component work and machinery servicing than a longer plier.
5) Are the handles on the Irwin 2078900 cushioned for all-day use?
They are ProTouch comfort grips. The handle type is Comfort Grip construction, intended to cut hand fatigue on repeated retaining-ring removal and installation.
6) What is the exact Irwin part number to order this convertible snap ring plier, and where is it made?
Order Irwin model 2078900. It is manufactured in Taiwan and is a non-powered hand tool, so no cord, battery, or air supply is involved.
7) Does the Irwin 2078900 carry a Prop 65 warning for California jobs?
No generic Proposition 65 warning applies to the 2078900 convertible snap ring plier.
