Internal circlip pliers NWS NW178-62-I1, straight tips, 12–25 mm

Internal circlip pliers NWS NW178-62-I1 with straight tips provide a reliable tool for installing and removing internal retaining rings in shafts, bores and housings. The pliers have a working range of 12–25 mm and are designed with forged construction and precision tips to ensure a secure grip and controlled opening action during maintenance, assembly and repair operations.

Advantages

The forged construction increases durability and resistance to deformation under repeated use. Precision-ground straight tips give accurate engagement with internal circlips, reducing slippage and wear on both the tool and the retaining ring. Ergonomic handles support controlled leverage and allow precise manipulation in confined spaces. The specified 12–25 mm working range covers common sizes of internal rings used in automotive and industrial assemblies.

Suitable for

• Installing and removing internal circlips in shafts and housings
• Mechanical maintenance and repair tasks on engines and gearboxes
• Industrial assembly work where internal retaining rings are used
• Electromechanical and general workshop applications requiring compact pliers

Key specifications

• Tool type: internal circlip pliers with straight tips
• Working range: 12–25 mm
• Tip style: straight precision tips for internal rings
• Construction: forged tool body for enhanced strength
• Intended use: installing and removing internal retaining rings in bores, shafts and housings

How to use

Select pliers with an appropriate working range for the internal circlip to be handled. Insert the straight tips into the circlip eyelets or grooves, then squeeze the handles steadily to compress the ring until it can be removed or positioned in the bore or shaft. Release the handles slowly to allow the ring to expand into its seat. When installing a ring, ensure it is seated evenly in the groove before releasing tension fully. Maintain a stable grip and work with controlled movements to avoid sudden slips.

Usage recommendations

Inspect tips before each use for wear or damage and replace the tool if tips are deformed. Use appropriate eye protection and, when working with springs or rings under tension, keep hands and body clear of the release path. Store the pliers in a dry place to prevent corrosion and periodically lubricate the pivot joint for smooth operation.
