Key specifications

How to use

Position the straight tips into the holes or notches of the external retaining ring, squeeze the handles to open the ring and remove or place it onto the shaft or into the housing. The opening spring assists returning the pliers to the open position for repeat operations. Use the clamping protection feature to hold the ring securely while moving it, reducing the chance of accidental release.

Recommendations

Inspect tips before use for wear or damage to ensure correct engagement with retaining rings. Apply light machine oil to the pivot occasionally to maintain smooth action. Do not use the pliers on rings or parts outside the specified standards or on fasteners where different tool types are required.
