The internal/external snap ring pliers I use for automotive & all purpose situations are Crescent brand, and they've not failed me to date. They came with an assortment of hardened steel tips of various sizes, including 90 degree ones. They've served me much, much better than ones with fixed tips, of which I've broken several. You can adjust the reach of the tips by loosening the set screw and sliding the tips out. Those things have saved me in numerous situations where I needed to reach into a bearing assembly to remove the snap ring. IIRC, they were about 30 USD at Lowe's, but well worth the money. I imagine the McMaster-Carr, Irwin, and Craftsman ones are very similar.
They're also my go-to tool for removing/installing 10 turn dials.
