Internal circlip pliers GEKO 160 mm (curved tips) model 15/120

Internal circlip pliers GEKO 160 mm (curved tips) model 15/120 are precision hand tools designed for installing and removing internal retaining rings in bores and housings. With a total length of 160 mm and slim curved tips, these pliers provide controlled access to confined spaces and allow secure engagement with small internal circlips. The tool is intended for mechanics, maintenance technicians and assembly specialists who need a reliable instrument for working inside housings, gearboxes and precision components.

Advantages

The curved, slim jaws enable access to deep or narrow bores where straight-tip pliers cannot reach, reducing the risk of slipping or damaging the circlip. At 160 mm overall length the pliers combine compactness with sufficient leverage for controlled opening and closing. The tool is balanced for accurate manipulation in tight assemblies and provides a firm grip on retaining rings for safe extraction and installation.

Suitable for

• Removing and installing internal circlips in gearboxes and housings
• Automotive repair and component maintenance
• Precision mechanical assemblies and small machinery
• Work in confined or recessed bores where access is limited

Key specifications

• Total length: 160 mm
• Tip style: curved/slim tips for internal circlips
• Intended function: internal circlip installation and removal
• Ergonomics: compact design for precision handling in tight spaces

How to use

Position the curved tips inside the bore so the jaws engage the inner edges of the circlip. Squeeze the handles to compress the circlip and carefully withdraw or position it within the housing. Maintain steady alignment between the tool and the circlip to avoid slippage; release pressure slowly once the circlip is seated or removed. Use appropriate eye protection and ensure the workpiece is secured to prevent unexpected movement during operation.

Usage recommendations

Use these pliers for internal retaining rings compatible with the tool’s slim curved tips; avoid forcing oversized circlips that exceed the tool’s capacity. Keep tips clean and inspect for wear before each use. Store the pliers in a dry place to prevent corrosion and preserve tip alignment for accurate operation.
