where to buy long snap ring pliers

[gonefishin2]

Trying to remove prop shaft snap rings on OMC stern drive but can't find where to purchase long snap ring pliers. The snap rings are about 6 - 7" inches in hole and the snap rings are about 3 - 31/2". I can find snap ring pliers just about everywhere but no one has long ones for this. Any suggestions?

Thanks

I ended up making my own. Not a tool I'd use more then twice.

I just use these really long needle nose pliers. I got a set of 3 pairs: straight, 45 degree and 90 degree jaws for $20 a few years ago.
The straight set works great on lower unit snap rings.
The angled ones are super handy on all sorts of things on boats.

i found some online when i needed some. can't remember where, sorry. i just googled it i'm sure though. big snap ring pliers or the likes. they were very expensive. anways, ya didn't say internal or external... i needed internal... here they are..

16'' long....

hand filed me a slot in the tip for the snap ring... these worked for removing the big snap ring on my 1 drive gimble brg. snap ring.

these are some fine chineeze needle nose pliers that i got at harbor frieght for extra cheap. i only expected one use from these, if even that. but they worked and looks like they may work again..
