FAQs
Are these pliers for internal or external circlips?
These pliers are strictly for internal circlips.
What is the size range for this tool?
The 199A.32 model is compatible with internal circlips ranging from 8 mm to 200 mm.
Can I use these for snap rings on a bicycle?
Yes, provided the snap ring is an internal type and falls within the 8-200 mm diameter range.
How do I prevent the tips from rusting?
Wipe the pliers with an oily rag after use and store them in a dry environment.
What is the total length of the pliers?
The total length is 290 mm.
Troubleshooting
Circlip slips out of tips during compression
Ensure the tips are fully inserted into the circlip eyelets and check that the eyelet diameter matches the tip size of the pliers.
Tips feel stiff or difficult to open/close
Clean the pivot mechanism with a degreaser and apply a light machine oil to the hinge point to restore smooth operation.
Tips are slightly misaligned
Check if the tips have been bent by excessive force; if they are permanently deformed, the tool should be replaced for safety.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-grade steel construction for maximum durability
- 90-degree angle excels in tight, restricted spaces
- Wide compatibility range covers most automotive internal circlips
- Ergonomic handle design for comfortable grip during repetitive tasks

- Requires significant clearance for handle operation in very tight engine cavities
- Professional-grade pricing may be higher than hobbyist tools
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before use, ensure the tool is free of debris that could interfere with tip movement. Select the correct pliers size based on the circlip diameter (8 mm to 200 mm). To maintain the tool, wipe the tips clean after each use with a lint-free cloth and apply a thin layer of machine oil to prevent oxidation. Store the pliers in a dedicated tool drawer or shadow board to protect the precision tips from bending or impact damage. Avoid using the pliers as a prying tool, as this can misalign the tips and compromise their ability to grip circlip eyelets securely.
