Pliers MODECO MN-20-718 bent for external circlip rings 200 mm

Bent circlip pliers MODECO MN-20-718, 200 mm length, are designed for installing and removing external circlip (Seeger) rings. The bent jaw profile and narrow tips provide access in confined spaces and an improved working angle for gripping and spreading external retaining rings. Constructed for mechanical, automotive and industrial maintenance tasks, these pliers offer a controlled handling solution where precise spread and secure grip of external circlips are required.

Advantages

The bent jaw geometry reduces hand strain by improving the tool angle when working in recessed or hard-to-reach areas. Sturdy construction ensures consistent force transmission for reliable opening of external circlips, while the narrow tips enable precise placement and removal of rings without damaging surrounding components. The 200 mm length balances reach and control for common maintenance operations.

Suitable for

• Installation and removal of external circlip (Seeger) rings
• Automotive repair and brake, transmission or suspension maintenance
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly in confined spaces
• Industrial equipment servicing and machine maintenance

Key specifications

• Overall length: 200 mm
• Tool type: bent-tip circlip pliers for external rings
• Jaw profile: bent/narrow tips for restricted access
• Primary use: opening and positioning external retaining rings
• Typical applications: mechanical, automotive, industrial maintenance

How to use

Position the tips of the pliers into the holes or grooves of the external circlip. Squeeze the handles evenly to open the ring until it clears the shaft or groove, then carefully remove or fit the circlip while maintaining steady control. When working in confined spaces, angle the tool to match the access path provided by the bent jaws to avoid slippage or damage to nearby parts. Release the handles slowly to seat the ring in place or to remove it safely.

Usage recommendations

Use eye protection during installation and removal of circlips. Choose a plier size and tip shape that match the circlip diameter to ensure secure engagement. Inspect tips for wear before use and avoid excessive force that could deform rings or the plier tips.
