How to use

Select the correct pliers for the size of the external retaining ring. Position the bent jaws around the ring so the tips engage the ring ends or holes, then squeeze the handles to compress and expand/close the ring as required for removal or installation. Maintain firm, controlled pressure and ensure the ring is supported during removal to prevent slipping. After use, clean any debris from the jaws and store the pliers in a dry place to avoid corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use eye protection when working with retaining rings to prevent injury from sudden ring release. Match plier tip size to ring dimensions to avoid damaging the ring or the plier tips. Avoid using the pliers on rings that are corroded or deformed without first assessing whether replacement is needed.
