FAQs
What is the main advantage of these pliers?
The main advantage is their universal design, allowing them to function as both inside and outside circlip pliers without needing to swap heads, thanks to the push-button adjustment.
What size circlips can these pliers accommodate?
They can accommodate circlips for bore diameters ranging from 12mm to 22mm, for both internal and external types.
Are these pliers suitable for all types of workshops?
They are highly suitable for general automotive repair, machinery assembly, and DIY projects. However, they are not non-sparking, so they should not be used in environments where flammable vapors are present.
How do I switch between inside and outside circlip use?
Press the push-button located on the pliers and adjust the jaws to point inwards for inside circlips or outwards for outside circlips.
What material is the head made of?
The head is gun-finished, which is a durable surface treatment for metal components.
What is the overall length of the pliers?
The overall length of the C.K T3716 Circlip Pliers is 160mm.
Do these pliers come with circlips?
Yes, the set includes one each of inside and outside circlips in sizes 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, and 22mm.
Troubleshooting
Pliers won't switch between inside/outside function
Ensure the push-button is fully depressed before attempting to adjust the jaw orientation. Check for any debris or build-up around the adjustment mechanism and clean if necessary.
Difficulty gripping or holding circlip
Verify that the circlip size falls within the 12-22mm range. Ensure the jaws are fully engaged with the circlip's rings. Clean the jaws if they appear to be contaminated with oil or grime.
Adjustment mechanism feels stiff
Apply a small amount of light lubricating oil to the push-button and sliding parts of the adjustment mechanism. Work the button a few times to distribute the lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The pliers are ready to use out of the box. To switch between inside and outside circlip function, locate the push-button mechanism. Press the button and maneuver the jaws to the desired configuration (pointing inwards for inside circlips, outwards for outside circlips).
Compatibility: Compatible with internal circlips ranging from 12mm to 22mm bore diameter and external circlips within the same size range. Ideal for use in automotive maintenance, machinery assembly, and general mechanical repairs.
Care: Keep the pliers clean and dry to prevent rust. Periodically check the adjustment mechanism for smooth operation. Wipe down the jaws after use, especially if exposed to grease or dirt. Store in a dry place. Avoid exposing the tool to corrosive environments.
