The image is a faucet body of a Moen 7300 series legend kitchen faucet. Immediately above the chrome deck plate is a nickel colored snap ring with a gap in it.
Is there an inexpensive tool I can purchase to get that ring off and not have it fly into my face or across the room. (I am an older homeowner and will likely never need this type of tool again.)
The closest thing I have found so far is a $35 pair of special circlip pliers at home depot. I don't want to spend $35 on a one time use tool and I also think the special "grippers" on the outsides of the jaws have too much vertical height to fit into the narrow gap on the faucet body.
Is there some other type of tool that would be used to remove and replace this ring?
