MPS Clip
Tape and safety goggles
As others have noted, these clips don’t exactly fully fasten the pommel inserts, so you typically end up with some rattling. My work around was a thin piece of electrical tape in the lip of the pommel where the insert goes. It helps lock the insert in place a bit better. Please wear eye protection when installing these. I’ve had these snap out of pliers a couple of times, and been frightened by how far they can fly.
Easy with Snap-Ring Pliers
I have the deep MPS8 pommel so purchased a long-nose snap-ring pliers that came in a set on Amazon. Makes this c-clip very easy to put in and take out. Holds the insert in snuggly.
If you have trouble getting this installed...
I kept having issues when trying to get this seated into the proper ring. I had ground a pair of needle nose to compress it without any luck. I bought a new circlip plier, and still no luck. Scratches on the inside of the pommel abound. That's when I realized that there was a burr, a small lip extending slightly from the "bottom" side. Most likely it was an artifact from the process where they punch these out of a sheet of spring steel. This lip was catching and not allowing the circlip to seat into the lowest slot. A small flat diamond file easily removed the burr, and it now seated in seconds using my original home made tool.
Great Product
it's a little tricky to install but just be patient.
A must
Awesome. Use sharp needle nose pliars to install easily
