Circlips (external & internal) AWTools 225 pcs set — mixed sizes

Set of 225 AWTools circlips (external & internal) in mixed sizes is a compact assortment of retaining rings designed for shaft and bore fastening tasks. The kit contains both external and internal types to secure components on shafts or inside housings, facilitating assembly, repair and maintenance of machinery, automotive parts and small equipment. The assortment covers a range of common diameters and includes multiple pieces per size to support repeat repairs and production needs.

Advantages

The AWTools set supplies a broad selection of both external and internal circlips in one compact container, reducing the need to source individual sizes. Having mixed sizes and multiple pieces of each type makes it easier to replace worn rings or to keep spare parts on hand for routine maintenance. The variety in the kit supports use across different assemblies while saving storage space compared with full individual packs.

Suitable for

• Shaft retention and component securing on rotating assemblies
• Bore retaining applications inside housings and gearboxes
• Automotive repairs and maintenance of small engines and transmissions
• General mechanical assembly, DIY projects and light industrial use
• Prototyping and small-batch production where multiple ring sizes are needed

Key specifications

• Content: 225 circlips (mixed external and internal types)
• Types: external circlips for shafts, internal circlips for bores
• Material: spring steel (heat-treated for resilience and retaining force)
• Finish: corrosion-resistant surface treatment suitable for general-purpose applications
• Packaging: compact storage case for organized size separation and transport

How to use

Select the appropriate circlip type and size for the shaft diameter or bore dimension. Install external circlips by compressing the ring with pliers designed for circlips and placing it into the corresponding groove on the shaft. For internal circlips, expand the ring with appropriate pliers and seat it into the groove inside the bore. Ensure the ring is fully seated in its groove and that mating components move freely without axial play beyond design tolerances. Replace damaged or deformed rings rather than reusing them to maintain secure retention.

Usage recommendations

Use matching circlip pliers sized for the rings to avoid deformation during installation. Inspect grooves for wear or burrs before fitting a new circlip and use the exact size required for the shaft or bore to ensure reliable retention and safe operation.
