DIY Red Oak Hex Bit Holder

Fixed-Tip Retaining Snap Ring Pliers
I rarely work with retaining snap rings, but when I do they sometimes come at me in waves of different styles and sizes. While my changeable multi-tip internal and external snap ring pliers are great to use, changing those tips out many times in a single project can be quite tedious.
