Retaining-Ring Pliers & Sets
Available97 products
Retaining-ring pliers install and remove snap rings that fit into a bore or onto a shaft and hold components in place. Also known as circlip pliers, their tips provide a firm grip on the rings to prevent them from flying off. Each pair of pliers adjusts its jaws to accommodate rings within a set diameter range. Retaining-ring pliers are commonly used to place rings on actuators, gear assemblies, motor shafts, and other machinery.
For Ring Type
Internal Retaining-Ring Pliers
These retaining-ring pliers apply internal rings into bores. Also known as inner snap ring pliers, they provide greater strength for more squeezing force than convertible pliers. Their tips slide into matching grip holes in a ring's lugs (ears) for a secure hold when squeezing together the ends of the ring.

Convertible Retaining-Ring Pliers
Convertible retaining-ring pliers switch their jaw motion or orientation to accommodate internal snap rings for bores and external snap rings for shafts. They eliminate the need for separate pairs of internal and external pliers. Their tips slide into matching grip holes in a ring's lugs (ears) for a secure hold when squeezing together or pulling apart the ends of the ring.

The external pliers apply snap rings onto a shaft. These dedicated-function pliers provide greater strength for more squeezing force than convertible pliers. Their tips slide into matching grip holes in a ring's lugs (ears) for a secure hold when squeezing together or pulling apart the ends of the ring.

Non-Sparking Internal Retaining-Ring Pliers
These non-sparking retaining-ring pliers apply internal rings into bores in work areas where combustible dust or flammable liquids, gas, or vapors are present. They contain no ferrous metals, so they resist creating sparks and reduce the risk of ignition in hazardous locations. Also known as inner snap ring pliers, they provide greater strength for more squeezing force than convertible pliers. Their tips slide into matching grip holes in a ring's lugs (ears) for a secure hold when squeezing together the ends of the ring.

External Lock-Ring Pliers
These lock ring pliers apply external rings such as horseshoe lock washers and tempered steel lock rings onto gear and bearing shafts. Their indented tips fit closely against the ends of a ring for a secure grip. They are commonly used to fit lock rings onto brakes and transfer case bearings.
