Advantages

The 90° angled tips allow access in confined spaces while the opening spring enables quick, single‑handed positioning. Clamping protection reduces the risk of slipping and component damage during use. High‑quality chrome‑vanadium forged steel with heat treatment provides wear resistance and dimensional stability. Compact dimensions and dipped handles improve handling and reduce operator fatigue during repetitive work.

How to use

Select the appropriate tip orientation for the retaining ring type and position the angled tips into the ring eyes. Squeeze the handles gently to expand (for external rings) or compress (for internal rings) the retaining ring, then place or remove the ring from the groove. Use the opening spring for easier single‑handed operation and keep a firm but controlled grip to avoid sudden release. After use, wipe the tool clean and store in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

Use only on retaining rings that match the specified DIN standards and sizes; avoid using the pliers on hardened pins or as a substitute for cutting or prying tools. Periodically inspect the tips for wear and maintain a light protective oil film to prevent corrosion and ensure long service life.
