Lockring pliers?

I have the Hozan pliers. They work great. Good for bottom bracket lockrings too!

Thanks for all the input guys. I have the park one and it really stinks. Cheap stamped steel crap.

Never found a lockring plier that I liked, I use a butch wrench thats 1/8" thick mild steel, and when Im really pissed I clamp it in a vice and turn the wheel.

I have had slippage with every other method. including the fancy hinged lockring wrench.
