The Sealey AK84561 External Bent Nose Circlip Pliers are designed for automotive mechanics and engineering professionals who require precise, reliable tool performance when removing or installing external circlips. These pliers offer a significant advantage with their bent nose design and 40-90mm capacity, allowing for easy access to restricted spaces; however, users should note that they are specifically engineered for external applications and will not function with internal circlips.

No, these are specifically designed for external circlips. Using them on internal circlips is not recommended and can be dangerous.
These pliers are designed for a capacity range of 40-90mm.
The tips are forged as part of the tool. If they break due to extreme misuse, the unit will likely need to be replaced.
No, simply wipe them down with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface finish.
Yes, their Chrome Vanadium construction makes them suitable for industrial use, provided the circlip size remains within the 40-90mm specification.
Ensure the circlip holes are free of debris and that you are maintaining constant pressure perpendicular to the circlip.
Check for dirt or metal shavings in the pivot point and apply a small amount of penetrating oil to the hinge.
Ensure you are not over-expanding the circlip beyond its elastic limit, which puts unnecessary stress on the tool tips.
There is no complex setup required for these pliers; simply verify that your target circlip size falls within the 40-90mm diameter range. For compatibility, ensure you are using these exclusively on external-type circlips. Maintenance is straightforward: wipe the tool clean with a dry rag after use to remove grease and metal filings. While the phosphate finish is corrosion-resistant, applying a light coat of machine oil before long-term storage will help maintain the smooth operation of the spring-loaded mechanism.
