HARDEN 9-Inch (225mm) External Straight-Jaw Circlip Pliers | 560505

Description

• Handle high-tension external snap rings with confidence using the HARDEN 560505 9" External Straight-Jaw Circlip Pliers. Designed for professionals who work on heavy machinery and automotive drivetrains, these pliers provide the expansive force needed to open snap rings wide enough to clear shafts and axles without over-stressing the metal.

  Forged from premium high-carbon steel and induction-hardened for superior tip durability, the 560505 model is built to resist the "spring-back" force of heavy-duty external clips. The straight-jaw geometry offers a direct line of sight and maximum control during installation. At 225mm in length, these pliers offer significantly more leverage than standard 7-inch models, making it much easier to manipulate larger rings found on industrial equipment. The precision-ground tips are angled slightly to "bite" into the circlip eyelets, preventing the ring from slipping or popping off under tension.

  Key Features & Benefits:

  • 9-Inch (225mm) Heavy-Duty Frame: Provides the leverage required for larger external snap rings on shafts and axles.

  • Straight-Jaw Expansion: Specifically designed to push snap rings outward (expand) for removal from a shaft.

  • Forged High-Carbon Steel: Industrial-strength construction ensures the tool won't flex or bend under high load.

  • Precision-Milled Tips: Perfectly sized to sit deep in circlip holes, ensuring a secure grip during expansion.

  • Ergonomic Dipped Handles: Non-slip, textured grips provide a comfortable, high-friction hold in greasy environments.

  • Black Phosphate Finish: Resists corrosion and wear, even in demanding industrial workshop settings.
