HARDEN 13-Inch (325mm) External Straight-Jaw Circlip Pliers | 560128

Description

When standard pliers aren't enough, the HARDEN 560128 13" External Straight-Jaw Circlip Pliers provide the massive expansive force required for heavy-duty mechanical engineering. Engineered for industrial environments, this tool allows you to expand thick-gauge snap rings over large-diameter shafts with precision and safety.

Forged from premium Chrome Vanadium (Cr-V) steel, the 560128 is built for maximum structural integrity under extreme tension. At 325mm in length, the handles act as a powerful lever, allowing a technician to open heavy-duty external rings that would be impossible to move with smaller tools. The straight-jaw design provides a direct, powerful line of force, while the precision-ground tips are engineered to "lock" into circlip eyelets, preventing the dangerous "pop-off" effect common with smaller, weaker tools.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Industrial 13-Inch Frame: Delivers massive mechanical advantage for expanding heavy-duty external snap rings.

• External Expansion Action: Precision-engineered to push snap rings outward (expand) to clear shafts and axles.

• Forged Cr-V Steel: Chrome Vanadium construction ensures the tips remain perfectly aligned and won't flex or snap under high load.

• Precision-Milled Tips: Perfectly sized to hold large external circlips securely during expansion and installation.

• Ergonomic High-Friction Grips: Dipped, textured handles provide a comfortable and secure hold, essential when applying high pressure in oily environments.

• Professional Black Finish: Industrial-grade coating that protects against corrosion and shop-floor wear.
