NWS 175-62-A1 External Circlip Pliers for 10-25 mm Rings, Straight

The NWS 175-62-A1 external circlip pliers are high-precision hand tools engineered for the efficient installation and removal of external circlips on shafts. Designed specifically for rings ranging from 10 to 25 mm in diameter, these pliers feature a straight tip configuration that allows for direct access to fasteners in confined mechanical assemblies. Built with professional-grade materials, the tool offers the structural integrity required for demanding automotive and industrial maintenance environments.

Advantages

These pliers provide exceptional control and stability during operation, minimizing the risk of ring slippage or deformation. The ergonomic design ensures that the force applied is transferred effectively to the circlip, facilitating smooth engagement and disengagement. The high-quality construction guarantees long-term durability, maintaining precise tip alignment even after repeated use in rigorous workshop conditions.

Suitable for

• Automotive transmission and engine repairs
• General mechanical maintenance and assembly
• Installation of external retaining rings on shafts
• Precision engineering tasks requiring secure circlip handling

This tool is not intended for use with internal circlips, as the tip geometry is specifically optimized for external applications. It may also be unsuitable for heavy-duty industrial tasks involving rings outside the specified 10-25 mm diameter range.

Key specifications

• Type: External circlip pliers
• Tip style: Straight
• Capacity: 10-25 mm
• Application: Shaft-mounted retaining rings

To use the pliers, align the tips with the holes of the external circlip. Apply gentle pressure to the handles to compress the ring, allowing it to be easily removed from or installed onto the shaft groove. Ensure the circlip is fully seated in the groove before releasing the pressure from the pliers to prevent the ring from springing off.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the diameter of the circlips you intend to work with
• Ensure the application requires external rather than internal pliers
• Check for sufficient clearance around the shaft for straight-tip access

For optimal performance and longevity, keep the pivot point lightly lubricated and store the tool in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Always wear appropriate eye protection when working with spring-loaded retaining rings.
