The pliers feature a steel body with double-dip handles and accept replaceable tips, making them a durable choice for repetitive ring service work. The handle design is engineered to reduce hand fatigue during extended use. At 8 inches in overall length, these pliers give technicians solid leverage without bulk. They conform to ASME B107.500 standards, making them appropriate for professional trade environments including automotive, industrial maintenance, and mechanical assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese pliers are suited for residential and commercial maintenance applications where internal retaining rings are common, such as HVAC equipment assembly, pump and motor service, hydraulic cylinder work, and general mechanical repair. The maximum ring size capacity of 1.75 inches covers a broad range of bore diameters found in typical field and shop service situations. The four tip diameter options — 0.039, 0.047, 0.048, and 0.074 inches — allow the tool to be configured for different ring groove profiles without requiring multiple dedicated pliers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal retaining ring configuration for bore and housing snap ring service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplaceable tips in four diameters: 0.039, 0.047, 0.048, and 0.074 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum ring capacity of 1.75 inches covers a wide range of bore sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel body construction for durability in shop and field use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble-dip black handles designed to reduce user hand fatigue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets ASME B107.500 standards for professional-grade hand tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with internal retaining rings up to 1.75 inches in diameter across a broad range of mechanical assemblies, including those found in HVAC equipment, pumps, motors, and hydraulic components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInternal retaining ring pliers are typically used by HVAC technicians, industrial mechanics, and equipment service professionals. Always relieve system pressure and de-energize equipment before disassembling components that contain retaining rings. Ensure the correct tip diameter is installed and seated securely before applying force to avoid tip breakage or ring deformation. Safety glasses are recommended when removing snap rings, as rings can release suddenly under tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Internal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 inches (203 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Ring Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip Diameters\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.039, 0.047, 0.048, 0.074 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Replaceable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Double Dip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Color\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsulated\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.35 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASME B107.500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112110\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GEARWRENCH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 445\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GEARWRENCH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51543124836658,"sku":"445","price":31.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6ea2871382bf8028b27161d7b0378f6e.jpg?v=1785916054","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gearwrench-445-internal-retaining-ring-pliers","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
