Pliers MODECO MN-20-720 bent for external Seeger rings 250 mm

The MODECO MN-20-720 bent pliers for external Seeger rings 250 mm are designed for installing and removing external circlip (retaining) rings. With angled jaws and a 250 mm overall length, these pliers give improved access to rings located in tight, recessed, or awkward assemblies. The tool is intended for mechanical repair, routine maintenance and assembly work on shafts, housings and various automotive components where precise handling of external retaining rings is required.

Advantages

The bent jaw design provides enhanced reach and visibility in confined spaces while reducing the need to disassemble surrounding parts. The 250 mm length balances leverage and control for secure gripping and controlled ring expansion. Hardened tips hold external Seeger rings firmly without slipping, and the ergonomic handles offer a comfortable grip for repeated use during workshop tasks.

Suitable for

• Installing and removing external circlip/Seeger rings on shafts and housings
• Automotive repair and component maintenance
• Mechanical assembly where rings are seated in recessed grooves
• General workshop and industrial use requiring ring removal/installation

How to use

Grip the handles firmly and position the bent tips into the holes or ends of the external Seeger ring. Squeeze the handles to expand the ring until it clears the groove, then carefully lift or slide the ring away from the shaft or housing. For installation, place the ring over the shaft or into the groove, compress it with the pliers until the ring seats, and then release gradually to ensure correct placement. Work with steady, controlled movements to avoid deforming the ring or damaging the surrounding components.

Usage recommendations

Inspect retaining rings and the plier tips before each use to ensure proper engagement. Use eye protection during removal and installation to prevent injury from ring ejection. Avoid applying excessive force; if a ring is corroded or stuck, apply appropriate penetrating lubricant and proceed cautiously or use suitable heating methods according to component tolerances.
