ok, i searched and found a lot of info, but nobody said where to get the right ones. The ones with the flat tips. Ill soon be tearing into my 231 again as well as the ax-15 and decided that its time for a new tool.

so where do i get these? all i can find are the ones with removable tips

Thanks

The picture was taken at the wrong angle to see. I was certain that was the exact set I had until I went out and looked at them. Mine have a different number which no longer comes up on their search, but the description is right "Includes knurled right angle tips that securely holds rings." The ones you linked to are probably better but I used mine from Sears for a couple of 231s and they worked great.

I got mine at Kragen, but I may have just got lucky. I did my first 231 rebuild without them! Jeeeeebus, was that a mistake!

2 weeks ago i couldnt find the flat tipped at 2 different Sears and a Sears Hardware outlet.

Ended up using regular tipped snap-ring pliers.

Got a set at NAPA less than 15 bucks as I recall. Look for transmission snap ring pliers or heavy duty pliers. Mine were labeled transmission snap ring.
