Circlip/retaining ring pliers Forsage F-609180HB 180 mm, 90° bent, external/internal use on snap rings

Forsage F-609180HB circlip pliers, 180 mm in length, feature 90° bent tips designed for both external and internal snap ring work. The tool is intended for installing and removing circlips on shafts and in bores where access is limited or angled. A clamping mechanism holds the ring securely during positioning and removal, making the pliers suitable for automotive, machinery maintenance and general assembly tasks.

Advantages

The 90° bent tips provide improved access to confined or recessed locations while the 180 mm overall length offers leverage for controlled operation. The integrated clamping mechanism secures the snap ring during handling to reduce slippage. The tool is configured for both external and internal circlips, eliminating the need for separate pliers when working on shafts and bores.

How to use

Select the correct orientation for external or internal circlips and position the bent tips onto the ring.
