The tool made by OMC is $156. Can anyone give me a lead on a less expensive tool for this. All my other circlip pliers are too short to reach in.

Thanks for the responses guys. Have an older pair of Harbor Freights. Cut the inside of the tips angled back and rounded them off some. Added aluminum tube extensions to the handles for better leverage and pulled those clips out.
Thanks again for the input.
