FELO ring pliers bent internal, 85–140 mm (FL59428540)

FELO ring pliers bent internal, 85–140 mm (FL59428540) are specialist hand tools designed for fitting and removing internal circlips and retaining rings with diameters from 85 to 140 mm. The pliers have a bent head that provides improved access in confined or recessed assemblies and long handles that offer leverage and controlled operation. They are intended for use in workshops, maintenance, and mechanical assembly environments where large internal rings must be manipulated safely and accurately.

Advantages

The bent head geometry enables easier reach into housings and recesses compared with straight pliers, reducing the need to disassemble surrounding components. Long handles increase mechanical advantage for controlled opening and closing of internal rings while keeping hands clear of the workpiece. Hardened working tips resist wear during repeated engagement with retaining rings, and corrosion-resistant finish ensures reliable performance in workshop conditions.

Suitable for

• Removing and installing internal circlips and retaining rings with diameters between 85 and 140 mm
• Maintenance and repair of gearboxes, bearings, and housings
• Mechanical assembly tasks in workshops and industrial maintenance
• Accessing rings located in recessed or confined spaces

Key specifications

• Type: Bent internal ring pliers
• Working range: 85–140 mm internal ring diameter
• Head style: Angled/bent tip for improved access
• Handle design: Extended handles for increased leverage and control
• Tip material/treatment: Hardened tips for wear resistance
• Finish: Corrosion-resistant surface treatment suitable for workshop use

How to use

Select pliers that match the internal ring diameter range and visually inspect the tips and pivot for damage or excessive wear before use. Place the plier tips into the circlip holes or engage the ring edge, squeeze the handles to expand the ring until it clears the groove, then carefully withdraw or position the ring as required. When installing, position the ring in the groove and slowly release the handles to seat the ring securely. Maintain steady, controlled motion to avoid slippage and potential damage to surrounding components.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate eye protection and ensure the workpiece is secured before removing or fitting large internal rings. Keep tips clean and periodically check the pliers for wear; replace the tool if tips no longer grip reliably. For tight or damaged rings, consider light penetrating lubricant on mating surfaces and proceed with caution to prevent deformation of the ring.
