FAQs

What types of circlips can this tool handle?

This tool is designed for both internal and external circlips commonly found in general mechanical and automotive applications.

How do I switch between the different heads?

Simply pull the currently attached head off the plier jaws and firmly push the desired head into place until it is securely seated.

What material are the pliers made from?

The pliers are constructed from durable A3 steel.

Are the handles comfortable to use?

Yes, the handles are coated to provide a comfortable and secure grip during use.

Can I use this tool for very large circlips?

The tool is designed for standard-sized circlips. For very large or specialized circlips, a dedicated plier set may be required.

How should I maintain the tool?

Troubleshooting

Plier head feels loose

Ensure the head is fully seated into the plier jaws. Remove and reinsert firmly. Check for any debris obstructing the connection point.

Difficulty gripping or removing circlip

Verify you are using the correct type of head (internal/external) and the appropriate angle for access. Ensure the plier jaws are securely holding the circlip.

Rust spots on metal parts

Lightly sand the rusted area with fine-grit sandpaper or steel wool. Clean thoroughly and apply a light coating of oil to prevent recurrence.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To change heads, gently pull the current head from the plier jaws. Select the required head (straight, 45°, or 90°) and firmly push it into the jaws until it seats securely. Ensure the chosen head is stable before applying pressure.

Compatibility: This tool is designed for standard internal and external circlips typically found in automotive, machinery, and general hardware applications. It is not designed for specialized or oversized circlips.
