not to be a jerk, but you really have problems with e clips? Maybe I dont wear bifocals but i use a fingernail or worst case scenario plyers. But for the price if its easier thats all that matters I Guess. I bought a clutch tool for umpteen million nitro clutch teardowns when i was new but went back to hand also in the end. If they had an e-clip locater after you lose it Ide be In!!

When you need bifocals, you'll need the tool.

The numbers on the e-clip holders look to me in millimeters. Does this thing fit standard (english dimensioned) E-Clips?

The real question for me.
Does it fit that little-itty-bitty *%#! clip on the new silva side shocks?? LoL !!

Yep, those are mm measurements.

It holds as small as a 1.5mm e-clip, which is just larger than a flea.. at least it seems so. This tool works for the little e-clips on the shock shafts and hinge pins on my Vendetta TC, which are 2mm in diameter. I can't imagine a smaller e-clip.

If they had an e-clip locater after you lose it Ide be In!!

I use a giant magnet out of a starter motor, waving it around just above the floor. I get about 75% of them back. It helps if you see which general direction they sprung off to. :-D
