Easy with Snap-Ring Pliers

Review by Kurt on 7/11/2023

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

Awesome. Use sharp needle nose pliars to install easily

Solid and Necessary

An absolute necessity for any pommel insert, but do yourself a favor and get some snap-ring pliers first. It'll save you a lot of frustration and hassle, and save this ring, the pommel insert, and your pommel from a bunch of unnecessary scratches.
