External Circlip Pliers Forsage F-609140SB, bent 90°, length 140 mm

External circlip pliers Forsage F-609140SB, bent 90°, length 140 mm are hand tools designed for installing and removing external retaining rings on shafts and housings. The 140 mm overall length and 90° bent tips make this model suitable for working in confined spaces and where a perpendicular approach to the circlip is required. The pliers are intended for mechanical assembly, maintenance and repair tasks in workshops and field operations.

Advantages

Compact 140 mm length and 90° bent tips provide improved access to circlips located near shoulders or inside assemblies with limited clearance. The tool design allows controlled opening and closing of external rings to reduce the risk of deformation during installation or removal. Lightweight construction and standard plier handles support comfortable use during repeated operations.

Suitable for

• Installing and removing external retaining rings on shafts
• Maintenance and repair of machinery and automotive components
• Work in confined spaces where straight-tip pliers cannot reach
• Workshop assembly and on-site field service tasks

Key specifications

• Tool type: external circlip pliers with bent tips
• Tip angle: 90°
• Overall length: 140 mm
• Tip style: bent for perpendicular access
• Intended use: installing and removing external retaining rings on shafts and housings

How to use

Place the bent tips into the eyelets of the external circlip, position the pliers so the tips engage securely, and squeeze the handles to open the ring. With the ring contracted, carefully remove it from the shaft or housing groove, or reposition it for installation. Release the handles slowly to allow the ring to expand into its groove. Maintain a steady grip and control the opening width to avoid overexpansion or slipping.

Usage recommendations

Inspect circlips and plier tips for wear or damage before use. Use appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses, when removing or installing retaining rings to protect against sudden ring release. Store the pliers in a dry place to prevent corrosion and keep tips aligned for accurate engagement.
