so what are they then? I have seen the above pliers on you tube work for exactly these clips. as far as I am aware that is why there are different head, ie for the ones with a hole in, but I'm no expert so will be grateful for your advice

Iv not seen the vid you have but you normally use a small flat blade screwdriver to prise E clips off and needle nose pliers to pop a "NEW" one back on . Use E clips "once only" as there pre stressed. Those E clips look to be from Dolmar saws...you will lose them off the saw more often if you strain the clip putting it on or re using after removing it.

cheers. I thought I was fecking the clip up removing it with a screwdriver (I  was) but didn't know they were single use so thought I needed this tool to do it properly. thanks

Using a tool to open the clip to instal is not going to do the E clip any good as it should just spring into place in the groove on the shaft. Removing is never the issue as you then use a new one.
