You need to search for lock ring pliers not snap ring pliers, there is a big difference. This is how I found the ones I got.

I just got the set I used on my t56 at murray's yesterday. They are flat on the end not the one's with tips.

yeah it is something like this you need

you cant see from the angle of the pic but the tips are not the little round ones like regular snap ring pliers... they are like flat blades with a texture to help hold the ring when you remove it.

see this pic, it gives you the idea.

see just inside the circle? that is the kind of tip.

also, you do need a pair of regular snap ring pliers as there are a couple of those in there as well.
