Pliers set GEKO 01662 — 4-piece snap ring (circlip) pliers, 200 mm

GEKO 01662 is a 4-piece set of 200 mm snap ring (circlip) pliers designed for installing and removing internal and external retaining rings. The set contains four pliers with different tip orientations and shapes to cover common assembly and disassembly positions, allowing work on internal circlips inside bores as well as external rings located on shafts. Each tool in the set is built to provide reach and leverage needed for automotive, machinery maintenance and general workshop tasks.

Advantages

The set combines four 200 mm pliers in one package to reduce tool changes and improve workflow. Different tip orientations and tip configurations enable access to rings in tight or awkward positions. Hardened tips provide wear resistance and maintain gripping geometry, while long handles deliver improved leverage for controlled opening and closing of rings. The tools are suitable for repetitive workshop use and for professionals who require a compact selection of circlip pliers.

Suitable for

• Installing and removing internal circlips in bores
• Installing and removing external snap rings on shafts
• Automotive repair and suspension or transmission maintenance
• Machine assembly, maintenance and repair tasks
• General workshop and industrial applications requiring retaining ring handling

Key specifications

• Set composition: 4 pliers with differing tip orientations for internal and external rings
• Overall length: 200 mm per plier to provide reach and leverage
• Tip type: straight and angled tips to access various ring positions
• Intended use: designed for snap rings / circlips (internal and external)
• Construction: hardened tips for wear resistance; long handles for torque and control

How to use

Select the pliers with the tip orientation appropriate for the ring type and access angle. For internal circlips, use the internal-tip pliers to spread the ring gently and remove or position it within the bore; for external rings, use external-tip pliers to compress the ring and slide it off or onto the shaft. Position tips securely in the ring holes or against the ring edges, apply steady pressure on the handles to control expansion or compression, and maintain alignment to avoid slippage. Use appropriate eye protection and ensure components are supported to prevent sudden release of tension.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the plier tips before use and choose the pliers that match the ring size and orientation. Avoid excessive force that could deform rings or tips; if a ring is corroded or seized, apply penetrating lubricant and work carefully. Store the set in a dry place to prevent corrosion and periodically check tip condition to ensure reliable operation.
