 +====== Retaining Rings ======
 +These precision cuticle scissors are great for removing external retainer rings. \\
 +Especially the ones on oil pumps or anywhere they are hard to reach. \\
 +The normal ring pliers are bulky, the end points hardly match the holes and the tool usually slips off the retainer. \\
  
 +These scissors have fine points that won't break or slip on the retainers as the normal ones sometimes do. \\
 +You can get the points deeper into the holes which helps to hold the retainer more sturdy while removing it. \\
 +These work for removal and installation of the retainer rings. ((photos by Hippysmack)) \\
