Pliers Jonnesway AG010011 external bent circlip pliers for rings 10–40 mm

Jonnesway AG010011 external bent circlip pliers for rings 10–40 mm are workshop-grade hand tools designed for installing and removing external retaining rings with diameters from 10 mm up to 40 mm. The pliers feature bent tips to access snap rings located in recessed or obstructed areas, enabling controlled opening and safe handling of external circlips used in automotive assemblies, gearboxes, bearings and general machinery maintenance.

Advantages

The bent-tip design improves line-of-sight and reach into confined spaces where straight pliers cannot engage snap rings reliably. Hardened working jaws provide durable engagement with circlips while minimizing slip. Ergonomic handles reduce hand fatigue during repetitive tasks and give improved grip for precise control when expanding external rings. The compact head profile allows work in narrow housings and on axles with limited clearance.

Suitable for

• Installation and removal of external snap rings on shafts and housings
• Automotive repair tasks such as wheel bearings, transmissions and suspension components
• Maintenance of industrial machinery and agricultural equipment
• General workshop assembly and disassembly where external circlips are used

Key specifications

• Working range for external circlips: 10–40 mm diameter
• Bent tip geometry for improved access in confined spaces
• Hardened jaw surfaces for wear resistance and secure grip
• Ergonomic, slip-resistant handles for controlled operation
• Compact head profile suitable for narrow housings and limited-clearance tasks

How to use

Select pliers that match the circlip diameter within the 10–40 mm range and position the bent tips into the circlip’s eyelets. Squeeze the handles gently and evenly to expand the external circlip while keeping the tips fully engaged in the ring holes. Once the circlip is expanded sufficiently, move it along the shaft to remove or fit it into the groove. Release the handles slowly to avoid sudden ring movement. For installation, reverse the procedure: place the ring in position and compress it carefully until it seats in the groove.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the pliers before use for tip wear or damage, and ensure the tips match the circlip eyelet size to avoid slippage. Use eye protection when working with retaining rings to protect against sudden release. For heavily corroded or deformed circlips, consider cleaning or replacing the ring prior to attempting removal to reduce the risk of breakage.
