FAQs

What type of circlips are these pliers designed for?

These pliers are specifically designed for internal circlips, meaning retaining rings that are installed inside a housing or shaft.

Are these pliers suitable for external circlips?

No, these pliers are specifically angled and designed for internal circlips only. They are not suitable for external retaining rings.

What is the material of the pliers?

The pliers are made from industrial quality chrome-nickel steel that has been hardened and tempered for durability.

How should I maintain these pliers to prevent rust?

After cleaning, apply a light coat of tool oil periodically, especially if stored in a humid environment. Store them in a dry place away from moisture.

Can I use these pliers for gripping or cutting wires?

No, these are specialized circlip pliers and should only be used for the intended purpose of installing and removing internal circlips. Using them for other tasks can damage the tool and is unsafe.

What does the '90° Tip' designation mean?

The '90° Tip' refers to the angle of the plier's jaws, which are bent at a 90-degree angle. This specific angle is optimized for gripping the internal diameter of circlips.

How long are these pliers?

The length of these specific Draper circlip pliers is 130mm (approximately 5.1 inches).

Troubleshooting

Pliers slip off the circlip

Ensure the circlip is suitable for internal use and that the 90° tips are properly seated in the circlip's eyes. Verify the tips are not worn or damaged. Clean any grease or oil from the circlip and plier tips.

Difficulty engaging or removing stubborn circlip

Apply a small amount of penetrating oil to the circlip and surrounding area and allow it to soak. Ensure you are applying even pressure and opening/closing the handles smoothly. For extremely seized circlips, consider alternative removal methods or replacement of the circlip.

Handles feel slippery

Wipe the cushion grips with a clean, dry cloth. If the grips are damaged or excessively worn, consider replacing the pliers as grip integrity is crucial for safety and control.

Tips appear damaged or bent

Immediately discontinue use. Damaged tips can compromise grip, damage the circlip, and pose a safety risk. Inspect for damage and consider replacing the tool if the tips are compromised.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Robust construction from hardened and tempered chrome-nickel steel for longevity.
  • Ergonomic non-slip cushion-grip handles improve user comfort and control.
  • Precisely angled tips facilitate access and secure engagement with internal circlips.
  • Corrosion-resistant polished finish and chemically blackened tips enhance durability.
  • Compact 130mm size offers excellent maneuverability in tight spaces.

Cons

  • Specialized tool primarily for internal circlips; not suitable for external circlips or general gripping tasks.
  • Requires a specific technique to use effectively, potentially having a learning curve for new users.
  • The 90° tip angle may not be suitable for all circlip designs or access points.
  • Fixed tip angle offers less versatility than adjustable or multi-tip pliers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These pliers are ready for immediate use. Ensure you select the correct size and type of circlip for your application before engaging the tool.

Compatibility: Designed specifically for internal circlips. The 90° angled tips are optimized for engaging the holes or slots on internal retaining rings. They are not compatible with external circlips or general-purpose wire cutting or gripping.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, wipe the pliers clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove any dirt, grease, or debris.
  2. Rust Prevention: The polished finish and chemically blackened tips offer some protection, but it is recommended to apply a light coat of tool oil periodically to prevent rust, especially in humid environments.
  3. Storage: Store the pliers in a dry place, ideally in a tool roll, toolbox, or dedicated holder to protect the tips and prevent damage. Avoid storing them loosely with other metal tools where they could scratch or be scratched.
  4. Inspection: Before each use, inspect the tips for any signs of damage, wear, or deformation. Ensure the handles are clean and provide a secure grip.
