## Long description

Asta A-946 circlip pliers are designed for installing and removing internal and external retaining rings. The tool features fixed tips sized for standard circlips and a compact hand-held form that supports workshop and maintenance tasks. Constructed from metal for durability, these pliers provide a stable grip on rings during mechanical assembly, repair work and precise ring handling in automotive and industrial applications.
Advantages
The fixed-tip design ensures consistent tip alignment and reduces slippage when engaging circlips, while the compact shape improves access in confined spaces. Metal construction delivers long-term strength and resists deformation under repeated use. The pliers are lightweight enough for manual operation yet robust for routine maintenance tasks, offering reliable performance in professional and hobbyist settings.
Suitable for
 Installing and removing internal retaining rings on shafts and bores
 Handling external circlips on axles, pins, and housings
 Automotive repair and component maintenance
 Industrial machine maintenance and assembly tasks
 Small mechanical repairs and precision ring positioning
Key specifications
 Tool type: circlip/circlip ring pliers with fixed tips
 Design: compact, hand-held format for access in tight spaces
 Tip style: fixed straight tips suitable for standard circlips
 Material: metal construction for durability and strength
 Primary applications: internal and external retaining ring installation and removal
How to use
Select the correct orientation of the pliers for internal or external circlips, place the fixed tips into the corresponding holes or ends of the ring, and apply steady hand pressure to expand or compress the ring as needed. Work with controlled movements to avoid overstressing the ring or surrounding parts. For installation, position the ring in its groove and slowly release the pliers to seat the ring; for removal, maintain grip on the ring while withdrawing it from the shaft or bore.
Usage recommendations
Inspect the ring and mating parts before use to ensure correct fit and condition. Use appropriate eye protection and keep fingers clear of potential pinch points. Store the pliers in a dry place to prevent corrosion and check tips for wear before precision tasks; replace the tool if tips become deformed.
