Use these beefy but simple snap ring pliers to open up your barbell to perform maintenance.  Pliers have a long body and nose, with a thick head and tips which makes removing the retaining rings from your barbell sleeve very easy.   The snap ring will sit and stay secure on the heavy duty tips. These pliers serve as a general purpose snap ring plier and will work on all ISF barbells.

A full ISF bar care kit will be coming in the future, for now these are the recommended snap ring pliers of choice for performing barbell maintenance.  

Note that pliers do not come with barbell sleeve removal instructions.
