Professional External Straight Jaw Circlip Pliers for 85-165mm Circlips

External Circlip Pliers: Designed to permit easy assembly and disassembly of machinery and equipment that utilize circlips. External pliers with straight jaws are designed for applications where easy straight on access is available to the circlip, the bent jaw versions introduce flexibility into the access of these circlips, e.g. the clip could be part way down a shaft - bent pliers would permit easy access but using straight ones the handles could foul the shaft. For instances where access is limited or obstructed bent pliers should be considered.

Benefits: Safe removal and assembly of circlips
Tip: It is good practice to loosen circlips by lubricating them and tapping them with a small hammer or suitable implement to release them from their grooves prior to using circlip pliers, this will prevent overloading the tips of the pliers.
Safety: Circlips can fly at speed when released from shafts or housings, for your own safety please wear safety glasses when removing circlips.
