Troubleshooting

Pliers not gripping circlip securely.

Ensure the circlip is within the 19-60mm range and that the 1.75mm tips are properly seated in the circlip's holes. Check for any debris on the circlip or plier tips.

Difficulty compressing or fitting the circlip.

Verify the circlip is correctly oriented and that the mating groove on the shaft is clean and free of obstructions. Ensure sufficient pressure is applied to the handles.
