Purpose-built for shaft-mounted retaining rings
These circlip pliers are designed for external grip rings on shafts ranging from 3/4 in to 1-3/16 in. The fixed 0-degree tips with a 0.07 in diameter engage rings directly without angling. They suit technicians and engineers who service gearboxes, pumps or motor assemblies where external retaining rings are standard.
Chrome vanadium steel with spring return
The forged chrome vanadium steel body resists deformation under repeated spreading force. A built-in spring return opens the jaws automatically after each squeeze, reducing hand fatigue during batch work. Plastic-dipped handles provide a non-slip grip without adding bulk, and the 7-1/4 in overall length keeps the tool compact inside crowded tool drawers.
Single-piece supply with no extra components
The package contains one pair of pliers only; no spare tips, no case and no adjustment hardware are included. Because the tips are fixed, there is nothing to swap or calibrate on site. Buyers who need interchangeable tip angles or internal-ring capability will need a separate set.

Questions about this item
What does the 0.07 in tip diameter mean for the smallest retaining ring I can grip?
The 0.07 in tip diameter fits the groove width on external retaining rings sized for shafts between 3/4 in and 1-3/16 in.
How much clearance do I need around the shaft to use these 7 1/4 in pliers?
The 7 1/4 in overall length and fixed straight tips require enough radial space to open the handles fully while the tips engage the ring groove.
Do I need to adjust anything before using the spring-return mechanism?
No adjustment is needed; the spring return is built in and opens the jaws automatically after each squeeze.
