The DongCheng HD071414 7-Inch (165mm) Bent Tip External Circlip Plier is built for spreading, seating, and removing external snap rings on shafts, axles, and spindles located in cramped or obstructed areas. Featuring a 90-degree bent head configuration and precision 1.8mm tips, this tool prevents eyelet slipping while giving technicians full visibility of the workpiece.

Engineered from drop-forged high-strength steel, the plier features balanced spring tension for smooth expansion without over-stretching retaining rings. Fitted with ergonomic two-color soft handles, it provides comfortable control and prevents hand slippage during automotive, industrial, and machinery overhauls.

Key Features

• 90-Degree Angled Head: Provides clear access and leverage around shaft collars, gears, and crowded assemblies.
• Precision 1.8mm Tips: Tightly engages external circlip holes to prevent accidental release during ring expansion.
• External Circlip Expanding Action: Designed specifically to expand rings onto external grooved shafts.
