External Circlip Pliers MEGA 28436, 150 mm, bent tip

MEGA external circlip pliers model 28436, 150 mm with bent tips are hand tools designed for installing and removing external retaining rings. The pliers have angled jaws that provide better access to rings in confined or recessed areas. Ergonomic handles support controlled gripping and repeated use in mechanical assembly, automotive repair, bicycle maintenance and general workshop tasks.

Advantages

The bent-tip design allows secure engagement with external circlips in tight or angled positions without forcing awkward hand postures. A fixed jaw geometry maintains stable jaw alignment during operation, reducing the risk of slippage. The 150 mm length balances reach and leverage for precise insertion and extraction of retaining rings. Handles shaped for ergonomic grip decrease hand fatigue during repeated cycles.

Suitable for

• Removing and installing external retaining rings on shafts and housings
• Automotive clip and circlip maintenance in engine and transmission assemblies
• Bicycle hub, crank and axle servicing where external rings are present
• General mechanical assembly and light industrial workshop tasks

Key specifications

• Tool type: external circlip pliers with bent (angled) tips
• Overall length: 150 mm for compact reach and leverage
• Jaw style: fixed geometry with angled tips for improved access
• Handle: ergonomic grip for controlled operation and reduced fatigue
• Intended use: installing and removing external retaining rings on shafts and housings

How to use

Position the bent tips of the pliers over the ends of the external circlip. Squeeze the handles to compress the ring until it clears the groove, then carefully lift the ring away from the shaft or housing. For installation, place the ring into the groove, expand it slightly with the pliers, and guide it into position until the ring seats securely. Maintain steady, controlled pressure to avoid deforming the circlip or slipping off the ring.

Usage recommendations

Use eye protection when working with circlips, since rings can snap or eject unexpectedly. Inspect the tool tips before use for wear or damage; replace the pliers if tips are deformed. Apply a light lubricant to mating surfaces if rings are corroded or stiff, and avoid excessive force to preserve circlip and component integrity.
