Those ones that are reversible, i.e. can deal with internal or external. Are not so great in my experience.
They just are a bit flimsy, so fine for the basics, but on that day when you need to take off a bike clutch, or take the compressor off your turbo,
then you will find they are not up to the job.
After trying the type above I bought a pair of silverline internal, and a pair of external. Total price about £7 delivered. Much more robust, and
able to do the above jobs.
Just my experience, but shoot me down if you want.

They work, but cant always cope with stiffer clips and awkward angles without falling apart.
I got mine from either a £1 shop or a sunday market for a few quid.

3rd'd. Mine broke and the circlip pinged across the garage.
