Convertible Snap Ring Pliers
The Westward 33HD72 is a convertible retaining ring plier designed for internal and external ring work. It handles bore diameters from 5/16 in to 11/16 in and shaft diameters from 5/16 in to 45/64 in. A fixed tip angle of 45 degrees and a .038 in tip diameter suit precision circlip tasks. Carbon steel construction provides durability for professional or home workshop use.
Check Ring Sizes and Tip Fit
Verify that your retaining rings fall within the stated bore range of 5/16 in to 11/16 in and shaft range of 5/16 in to 45/64 in. Confirm the .038 in tip diameter matches the ring holes or grooves you service. The fixed 45 degree tip angle cannot be adjusted, so ensure access suits that orientation. The pivot screw conversion mechanism requires manual repositioning for internal or external use.
Carbon Steel Build With Cushion Grips
The pliers are forged from carbon steel for strength and wear resistance. Black cushion grip handles improve comfort and control during repetitive use. Overall length is 6 in, offering a compact profile for confined spaces. No spring return means the user controls jaw closure directly. The fixed tip design eliminates loose tip changes but limits angle flexibility.
