Circlip pliers YATO YT-2140, 150 mm, chromium-vanadium steel, black/red handles

YATO YT-2140 circlip pliers, 150 mm in length, are designed for installing and removing internal and external circlips in automotive, machinery and maintenance applications. Manufactured from chromium-vanadium (CrV) steel, these pliers combine strength and wear resistance for repeated workshop use. The black and red ergonomic handles provide a controlled grip and reduce hand fatigue during prolonged operations.

Advantages

The chromium-vanadium steel construction offers high tensile strength and resistance to deformation under load, ensuring reliable performance when handling circlips. The precision-machined tips fit circlip grooves accurately, reducing the risk of slippage. Ergonomic black/red handles provide improved control and comfortable handling, while the overall 150 mm length balances reach and leverage for working in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Installation and removal of internal circlips in bearings and housings
• Installation and removal of external circlips on shafts and axles
• Automotive repair and component servicing
• General machinery maintenance and assembly work
• Workshop and professional maintenance tasks

Key specifications

• Overall length: 150 mm
• Material: chromium-vanadium (CrV) steel
• Finish: nickel/iron appearance
• Handle design: ergonomic black and red grips
• Tip type: precision tips for internal and external circlips

How to use

Select the pliers and position the tips into the circlip's holes or ends. Squeeze the handles gently to compress (for external circlips) or expand (for internal circlips) the ring until it can be removed or installed in its groove. Maintain a steady grip and work slowly to avoid deforming the circlip. After use, cleanse any grease or debris from the tips and store the pliers in a dry location to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate eye protection when working with circlips, as rings can snap or spring free. Choose the correct orientation of the tips and apply even pressure to avoid slipping. Periodically inspect the tips for wear and replace the tool if tips become rounded or damaged to ensure safe, accurate operation.
