The extra pins come in a small plastic/vinyl bag. Like any small part, they're easily lost if you have a junk drawer for a tool box. If you have even basic organization in your box, it's not a problem. I am glad the manufacturer isn't including a fancy box, and charging for it. I'm much happier using my own system and pocketing the extra cash. My system is pretty basic, but works well. I have a small (2x2x2 inch, roughly) plastic box with a cheap magnet glued in as the floor of it. The snap ring pliers rest in the drawer with odd pliers (safety wire tools, etc.) with the box between the handles. The box is held loosely in place through the thin drawer liner, and keeps all the pins in place.
You can get the same effect with a magnet hot glued to the included bag, or just tossed inside a ziploc.
First the good.
It's pretty dang tough! It opened up a fairly big ring with ease.
The ratchet action is a real plus, especially when you're trying to keep big rings open. This is my first set of ring pliers with a ratchet and I'm quite pleased.
It comes with different size pins, but I have not had a need to swap them out at the moment. I'm sure they are fine.
The tool switches from internal to external, and vice versa, with a flick of a lever. This is also quite nice. In the past, I've always had to install internal/external adapters for this purpose.
The bad:
The ratchet does not have an auto-release. You have to give it an extra squeeze and unlock the ratchet.
Flipping from internal to external is a little vague. The tool MUST BE completely open before the actual switching mechanism actually works. Let's say the ratchet is on the first tooth position. Flipping the internal/external level will do nothing until the ratchet is completely released. Not necessarily a bad thing but it took a little time for me to realize this at first.
I like quality tools, and this I would rate around 60%. Some of this tool are made from stamped sheet metal, very distinctive of "Made in China". I will admit that things made in China are getting better, but some old ways are not dry yet. I know the sheet metal covers are for safety and protect the internals, but this just means the design wasn't thoroughly thought out.
I give this a 4-star, because if you close your eyes, this tool is much better than a lot of the retaining ring tools out there, in this price range. If you open your eyes, you might want to spend a few Bennys for top-notch tools, that you may use once in a while.
