Description
Overview:
The Blue Spot External Circlip Pliers with a 90° tip and 150 mm (6 in) length are designed for fitting and removing external circlips on shafts and housings. Made from durable chrome vanadium steel, they provide reliable strength for regular workshop and site use. The chemically blackened tips resist corrosion, helping the tool maintain a clean grip over time. Cushioned, vinyl-coated handles improve comfort and control, especially during longer jobs. The right‐angle tip gives clear visibility and access in tight or awkward spaces such as gearboxes, pulley guards, and bearing carriers. Compact and easy to control, these pliers are suitable for maintenance on construction plant, garden machinery, small engines, pumps, and compressors where precise placement and removal of circlips is essential.
