Large size circlip pliers!

Thats a very simple and effective idea, I may well steal it...

Yesterday I had to experiment replacing various pieces of track on my layout The pliers, whilst fiddly the pliers, proved invaluable especially the pulleraparterers for those awkward sticky brass rail joiners.

Hoho, takes me back to the miserable days of driving BL products and maintaining them. When it came to brakes dad had the circlip pliers but the little circlip perishers still flew off to the farthest reaches of the carport or garage, never to be seen again

Removing the chrystal from a magnatron comes to my mind especially when you haven't any finger nails!

Oh, s**t. (Sorry not very lady like I know)

Fairly standard terminology, in engineering circles..

Sometimes... It just needs a little added verbal lubrication!

Or what about a by pass hose,,,,or CV joints,,,,or new subframes,,,,not to mention hydroelastic suspension units,,,used to get all those as trainee mechanic

Flying cir-clips - seen far too many in my life!! Always seem to find one that needs to be removed at the worst time! And, of course they're never in the corner I look in! Just repeating what was said earlier with emphasis .
