Built with a forged steel body and a 90-degree bent tip, this tool delivers controlled placement without slipping off the ring. The tip diameter measures 1.30 mm (0.051 inches), and the tool has an overall length of 5 inches. The solid forged construction and oil-hardened tips resist wear under repeated use. Plastic handles provide grip during extended work. Licensed technicians and mechanical trades use this pliers for assemblies where straight-nose tools cannot reach the retaining ring seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tool is suited for mechanical, HVAC, and plumbing service work involving shaft-mounted or bore-mounted external retaining rings. The 90-degree bent nose makes it useful in recessed housings, motor shafts, and other locations where direct axial access is blocked. The 5-inch overall length keeps the tool compact enough for tight panel and equipment interiors. It is a single-piece, solid-style pliers — not a convertible or interchangeable-tip design — which adds rigidity when seating rings under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBent nose at 90 degrees for angled access to external retaining ring grooves\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTip diameter of 1.30 mm (0.051 inches) for precise ring engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOil-hardened tips for extended service life under repeated use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eForged steel body for rigidity and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-slip plastic handles for secure grip during installation and removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets DIN 5254 B standard for retaining ring pliers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with external retaining rings in applications requiring a 90-degree bent-nose approach.

Always relieve system pressure, de-energize equipment, and secure the workpiece before removing or installing retaining rings. Eye protection is required — retaining rings can eject under spring tension. Do not use the pliers as a pry tool or apply side loads beyond the intended ring-seating motion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: External Retaining Ring Pliers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bent Nose, 90 Degree\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.30 mm (0.051 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Forged, Oil-Hardened\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plastic, Non-Slip\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTether Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Not Tether Capable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: DIN 5254 B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: KNIPEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4621A11\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KNIPEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51543454908722,"sku":"4621A11","price":52.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/30a55aa68443da7cb38e4ab365d6c8d9.jpg?v=1785918854","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/knipex-4621a11-external-retaining-ring-pliers-5-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
