Circlip pliers YATO YT-2145, external/internal, PVC handles, 200 mm

Circlip pliers YATO YT-2145, external/internal, PVC handles, 200 mm are precision hand tools designed for installing and removing both external and internal circlips. With a 200 mm overall length and a compact jaw profile, these pliers facilitate work in confined spaces typical for automotive, machinery and maintenance tasks. The PVC-coated black handles provide a secure grip and improve user comfort during repetitive operations.

Advantages

These circlip pliers combine a compact 200 mm size with dual-purpose jaws for use on internal and external circlips, reducing the need for multiple tools. The PVC-coated handles improve grip and reduce hand fatigue while offering basic insulation against mild slips. Hardened and precisely machined jaws ensure reliable engagement with circlip eyes and consistent performance over repeated cycles.

• Handling external circlips on shafts and grooves
• Automotive repair and suspension work
• Maintenance and assembly of small machinery and equipment
• Work in confined or hard-to-reach areas

Key specifications

• Total length: 200 mm
• Type: external and internal circlip pliers (convertible use)
• Handles: PVC-coated for improved grip
• Jaw style: narrow profile suitable for confined spaces

How to use

Select the appropriate jaw orientation for external or internal circlips. Position the pliers' tips into the circlip eyes, then gently squeeze the handles to expand (for external) or compress (for internal) the circlip until it can be removed or seated. Maintain steady control while moving the circlip to avoid sudden release. After use, wipe the pliers clean and store in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use eye protection when working with circlips to guard against flying parts. For best results, match jaw tips to the circlip size and avoid forcing undersized or oversize clips. Regularly inspect the jaws for wear and replace the tool if tips become deformed to ensure safe and reliable operation.
