Retaining And Lock Ring Pliers

Proto retaining ring pliers are designed for removing internal or external retaining rings, thereby ideal for use in storage, construction and automotive industries. These pliers feature a design that facilitates quick-change over from internal- to external-ring configuration and vice-versa and have no additional screws to tighten, thereby reducing maintenance downtime. The spring-loaded ratchet mechanism of these pliers minimises user fatigue by allowing the ring to be expanded and compressed through gradual moves and locks at any preferred sizes. They further come equipped with a custom grip handle that provides a slip-free operation and a blow-moulded carrying case which includes storage space for extra rings.

Knipex retaining ring plier sets are used to install or remove internal and external retaining rings from grooved shafts, circlips and snap rings on bores and grooved shafts. These sets contain four retaining ring pliers of different jaw diameters and a nylon pouch with a locking clip. The DIN 5254 B and DIN 5256 D certified pliers in this set are made from chrome vanadium steel and have a plastic-coated handle with an inbuilt spring (on selected models) for reducing fatigue and excessive gripping force. For reducing ring-slipping on bores or precise works on small retaining rings, these pliers feature a fixed / bent / straight / bent & straight tip with a 0 / 90-degree tip angle. These Knipex pliers can be used on shafts and bores having diameters up to 2-3/8 inches. Raptor Supplies offers these Knipex retaining ring plier sets in different tip sizes.
