Description

Snap Ring Pliers with Angled Tips, 1-19mm Working Range

Brief Overview

Professional-grade snap ring pliers engineered for precise circlip installation and removal in confined spaces. The angled jaw design provides superior access to hard-to-reach fastening points in automotive engines, transmissions, and industrial assemblies. Whether you stock them for high-volume service work or pair them with complementary circlip removal tools, these pliers deliver consistent performance across repetitive daily applications.

Key Features

  • Angled Tips (90° Bend): Upward-angled jaw configuration enables access to internal and external snap rings in restricted spaces where straight pliers cannot reach
  • Precision Tip Diameter: 1mm needle-sharp tips for controlled engagement with small circlip grooves, minimizing damage to component surfaces
  • Extended Jaw Length: 53mm jaw reach allows deep penetration into engine cavities and transmission housings without hand interference
  • Wide Working Range: 1-19mm capacity covers the majority of automotive circlip sizes—from small engine components to larger industrial fasteners
  • Heat-Treated Construction: Hardened steel frame resists fatigue, maintains jaw alignment under repetitive use, and provides corrosion resistance in workshop environments
  • Ergonomic Grip Design: Contoured blue plastic handle sleeves with finger grooves reduce hand fatigue during sustained assembly and disassembly work
  • Integrated Return Spring & Latch: Coiled spring mechanism automatically opens jaws; internal wire lock secures handles closed for safe storage and transport

Business Advantages for Resellers

This is a fundamental tool for any automotive or industrial service center. The 1-19mm range handles the majority of OEM snap ring applications, making it an essential addition to mechanic tool kits and service drawers. The heat-treated steel and ergonomic design ensure durability under workshop conditions, reducing replacement frequency and building customer confidence. Stock these as individual units for walk-in service technicians or in bulk for fleet maintenance contracts and industrial equipment assembly lines.
