FAQ
Q: What tools do I need to install external circlips?
A: External circlips require external circlip pliers (bent-nose type). The pliers compress the circlip to fit into the shaft groove. Do not attempt to install with flat-nose pliers as the circlip may slip and cause injury.
Q: What is the difference between external and internal circlips?
A: External circlips (GB894 / DIN471) fit into a groove on the outside of a shaft to retain components. Internal circlips (GB893 / DIN472) fit into a groove inside a bore or housing to retain shafts or pins.
