Snap ring plier for Dillon?

[walter62]

I have the 'deluxe' roller handle for my Dillon and I'm trying to get the handle off the
shaft. It requires a VERY small and long external snap ring plier.

I've tried a couple from Amz and the hardware store but either the tips are too big or not long
enough.

>> Anyone know of (got a URL) for a pair that actually fits and works?

I can buy a new one from Inline for not much more than most decent pliers.

I don't have a Dillon, but I do use these pliers. Very narrow and long reach.

Thanks. Given how deep the ring is in the handle 'tube', I dont think that one will work though.

I would just get a cheap pair of long nose needle nose pliers and grind the tips down to pins that fit.

good point (no pun ) I'll see what I can find

You could always call or email Dillon and ask what they use.

Thanks. Actually, I already did that.

but I'm trying not to drop $35 for a one-off tool if I can avoid it.

@walter62 Pm me your address. I knew I had something that would work. I am in process of moving and tools and reloading setup elsewhere so couldn’t verify until today. You can borrow and then send back to me at your leisure.
