Circlip pliers GEKO 160 mm with four interchangeable tips (model 12/60)

GEKO circlip pliers 160 mm (model 12/60) are a hand tool designed for installation and removal of internal and external circlips. The pliers measure 160 mm in overall length and feature a steel construction that provides durability and stable grip. The set includes four interchangeable tips, allowing adaptation to different circlip diameters and working angles. This tool is intended for use in automotive repair, mechanical assembly, equipment maintenance and general workshop tasks where retaining rings must be handled safely and precisely.

Advantages

The pliers combine a compact 160 mm size with a robust steel body for dependable handling in confined spaces. Interchangeable tips expand functionality, enabling the same tool to work with both internal and external circlips and various ring sizes. The design provides improved control over retaining ring movement and reduces the risk of slippage during installation or removal. The tool’s configuration supports precise positioning and steady pressure for repeatable results.

Suitable for

• Automotive retaining ring installation and removal
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly of shafts, bearings and housings
• Equipment maintenance and repair in workshops and service centers
• General-purpose use in confined or hard-to-reach locations

Key specifications

• Overall length: 160 mm
• Material: steel construction
• Tip type: four interchangeable tips for internal and external circlips
• Application: supports both internal and external retaining rings
• Working environment: suitable for workshop and field service use

How to use

Select the appropriate tip for the circlip type and size, then secure the tip in the pliers’ head according to the interchangeable system. For internal circlips, compress the tips inward to reduce ring diameter and allow removal or installation. For external circlips, expand the tips outward to increase ring diameter for placement or extraction. Maintain a firm but controlled grip on the handles and keep the workpiece stable while operating the pliers to avoid slippage. After use, clean the tool and store the tips in a safe place to prevent loss or damage.

Usage recommendations

Use eye protection when working with circlips to guard against sudden release. Choose the tip that provides the best fit for the ring to minimize deformation. Periodically inspect the tips and tool body for wear and replace damaged tips to maintain safe and accurate operation.
