Circlip Pliers Set GEKO 01660 — external/internal, 160 mm, 4 pcs

Set of four GEKO circlip pliers model 01660, each 160 mm in length, designed for installing and removing retaining rings on shafts and in bores. The kit contains both internal and external types to cover common circlip applications in mechanical assembly and automotive repair. Tips and joints are engineered to fit standard ring profiles and to provide controlled opening or closing action in confined spaces.

Advantages

The set combines external and internal pliers in one compact kit, eliminating the need to switch between separate tools during a repair. All pliers share a 160 mm length that balances access in narrow areas with stable grip leverage. Hardened tips and precise jaw alignment reduce slippage and protect circlips from deformation, while ergonomic handles offer consistent control during repetitive tasks.

Suitable for

• Installing and removing external circlips on shafts
• Installing and removing internal circlips in bores
• Automotive repair and maintenance work
• Mechanical assembly and light industrial servicing

Key specifications

• Number of pieces: 4
• Overall length: 160 mm per plier
• Tip style: straight and angled variants for access in different orientations
• Handle type: ergonomic grips for improved control during use

How to use

Select the appropriate plier type for the ring: external pliers to expand circlips on shafts, internal pliers to compress circlips in bores. Place the tips into the circlip holes or notches, apply steady hand pressure to open or close the ring, and carefully position or remove the circlip from its groove. For angled or recessed rings choose the pliers with the matching tip orientation. Maintain controlled movements to avoid sudden release of tension.

Usage recommendations

Inspect plier tips before use to ensure they are free of burrs or damage that could deform retaining rings. Use eye protection when working with rings under tension and store the set in a dry place to prevent corrosion. If excessive force is required, verify that the correct plier type and tip orientation are being used.
