Never had good luck with the interchangeable ones, the little hex prong things slip in their groove at the wrong time. I got some nice looking fixed-point ones at Harbor Freight retail store locally. I bet Sears has them.

I got a set of Craftsman snap ring pliers with 5 or 6 sets of tips. They are quickly changed from internal to external and the tips are held in w/ a hex set screw. Check 'em out; should work for what you need, and they are better than the cheapies at autozone.

Your going to need some long nose ones, I ended up having to bend my snap ring out since the pliers that the Snap on guy sold me that he said would work didnt.
