Internal Circlip Pliers GEKO G01701, bent tips, 200 mm (8")

GEKO internal circlip pliers G01701 with bent tips and 200 mm (8") overall length are hand tools intended for installing and removing internal retaining rings in bores. The angled tips provide access in recessed, narrow or offset positions where straight pliers cannot reach. These pliers are suitable for workshop maintenance, mechanical assembly and general repair tasks that involve securing or releasing circlips inside housings or bore grooves.

Advantages

Bent tips improve accessibility for circlips positioned deep within bores or at an angle, reducing the need for disassembly of surrounding components. The 200 mm length balances reach and control, making it easier to manipulate rings while maintaining torque and precision. The pliers are designed for repeated manual use in common workshop environments and are compatible with standard sizes of internal retaining rings.

Suitable for

• Installing and removing internal circlips in bearings, housings and bores
• Maintenance and repair of machinery and automotive components
• Assembly work in tight or recessed spaces where straight tips are impractical

Key specifications

• Tool type: internal circlip pliers with bent tips
• Overall length: 200 mm (8")
• Tip style: angled/bent for improved access in confined spaces
• Intended use: installing and removing internal retaining rings in bores
• Typical working environment: workshops, maintenance and mechanical assembly

How to use

Select pliers with tips appropriate to the internal circlip size. Insert the bent tips into the circlip groove, apply steady inward pressure on the handles to compress the ring, and carefully withdraw the ring from the bore. For installation, position the compressed ring into the groove and release pressure to seat it. Maintain control of the tool during operation to avoid sudden release and potential part damage.

Usage recommendations

Use safety glasses and appropriate hand protection during operation. Ensure the pliers' tips match the circlip cross-section and are undamaged to reduce the risk of slippage. Do not use excessive force; if a ring is seized, inspect the assembly and use suitable penetrating methods or heat where appropriate. Store the pliers in a dry place to prevent corrosion and check tips regularly for wear.
