Why? I reckon most problems with these fasteners is due to poor implementation or poor materials.

No other fastener gives me the irrits more. Even with the correct tools they're a swine to use and re-use.

It's totally got nothing to do with me and everything to do with them :q

There's nothing like a $0.50 part breaking to bring a car to a halt.

In my case it was on the clutch cable and if the roadside mechanic did not have a spare I would have been stuck.

Hehe. Nah. I've had a long held hatred for these things. It's just that while farting around with my bandsaw over the last couple of weeks to try and remove some vibration problems that I seem to have had constant fights with the buggers and I'm a tad grumpy in general about the whole issue :C

I think the secret to circlips is having the right tools to remove them and put then on; if this is what you are talking about.
