External circlip pliers NWS NW175-62-A11, bent tips, working range 10–25 mm

External circlip pliers NWS NW175-62-A11 with bent tips are a compact hand tool designed for installation and removal of external retaining rings with a working range of 10–25 mm. The pliers combine hardened tips and an ergonomic handle shape to provide controlled force and secure grip during automotive, mechanical and assembly tasks. Their bent tip geometry improves access to rings in confined spaces and helps maintain visibility of the work area.

Advantages

The hardened tips resist wear and maintain shape under repeated use, ensuring consistent engagement with external circlips. Ergonomic handles reduce hand fatigue during repetitive operations and improve grip stability. The bent tips provide improved clearance and access to retaining rings located in recessed or obstructed positions, enabling precise positioning and safer manipulation of small parts.

Suitable for

• Installing and removing external retaining rings in automotive repair
• Mechanical maintenance and assembly of shafts and housings
• Workshop tasks requiring access to rings in tight or recessed areas
• Precision assembly and disassembly of small components

How to use

Select the pliers when the external retaining ring falls within the 10–25 mm working range. Position the bent tips over the ring’s ends, squeeze the handles gently to compress the ring and either lift it off the shaft or place it into the groove. For removal, maintain steady pressure and controlled movement to avoid slipping; for installation, align the ring carefully with the groove before releasing pressure. Ensure the workpiece is secured to prevent sudden movements while operating the pliers.

Usage recommendations

Inspect tips before use for damage or excessive wear and replace the tool if tips become deformed. Use eye protection when working with retained rings, and keep fingers clear of potential pinch points. Store the pliers in a dry place and apply light lubrication to pivot points periodically to maintain smooth operation.
