There's many options out there. I happen to have a Craftsman set that has three different sized handles each capable of internal and external rings and having interchangeable tips etc etc. Very handy...
Perhaps not the help you were looking for, but it's not a specialty thing.

When you're taking it off, put your finger over the end of the pin and lift the snap ring up to your finger, then relax the pliers. The snap ring will be trapped between your finger and the pin it's coming off of.
When installing it, put the snap ring against the pin and hold it there with your finger. Expand it and and set it down on the pin. If you slip, the snap ring will be trapped between your finger and the pin you're trying to put it on.
