Why This Specification Matters
The 180mm length provides sufficient jaw reach without introducing excessive handle leverage that could cause operator fatigue or reduce control. The 12-65mm range addresses the most common circlip sizes in automotive work—covering everything from small bearing retainers to larger transmission components. The straight jaw design with round pins makes this a versatile choice for both internal engagement (expanding the snap ring outward) and external installation (compressing the ring inward).
