HARDEN Professional External Bent-Jaw Circlip Pliers (180mm/225mm) | 560509

Description

Handle external snap rings in hard-to-reach places with the HARDEN Professional External Bent-Jaw Circlip Pliers. Engineered for automotive and industrial applications, these pliers are designed to expand C-clips sitting on shafts, providing the necessary clearance for removal or installation even when space is at a premium.

Forged from premium high-carbon steel and heat-treated for maximum structural integrity, these pliers are built to resist the "spring-back" tension of heavy-duty external clips. The 90-degree bent-jaw design allows you to work around pulleys, gears, and housings, ensuring you have a clear line of sight and a secure grip. The tips are precision-ground to a specific taper, preventing the snap ring from slipping or ejecting under tension—a common issue with inferior tools.

Key Features & Benefits:

• 90° Bent-Jaw Geometry: Specifically shaped to access snap rings on shafts located in recessed or obstructed areas.

• External Expansion Action: Precision spring-action mechanism designed to push snap rings outward (expand) for easy removal.

• Forged High-Carbon Steel: Industrial-strength construction ensures the tips remain aligned and do not flex under high load.

• Precision-Milled Tips: Perfectly sized to sit deep in circlip eyelets for a slip-free mechanical grip.

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

• Professional Anti-Rust Finish: Black phosphate coating protects the tool from corrosion in demanding workshop settings.
