Sk 7617 Internal Retaining Ring Pliers

Product Description

The SK 7617 is a set of internal retaining ring pliers designed for installing and removing internal snap rings in bores, housings, and assemblies. Built with a steel handle, these pliers provide the grip and leverage needed for precision ring work in tight spaces. The 0.1200-inch tip diameter suits smaller internal ring applications, and the overall length of approximately 15.5 inches gives technicians the reach needed for deep bore access. These pliers are a standard hand tool for HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical service work where internal retaining rings secure components in cylindrical bores.

The SK 7617 is suited for residential and commercial service applications involving internal snap ring removal and installation. Common use cases include motor assemblies, bearing housings, valve bodies, and pump components where an internal retaining ring holds parts in a bored seat. These pliers are appropriate for use by HVAC technicians, plumbers, pipefitters, and general maintenance mechanics working on rotating or reciprocating machinery.

Installation Notes

Internal retaining ring pliers are a hand tool used by licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical service pros. Always de-energize and de-pressurize any system before disassembling components that incorporate retaining rings. Ensure the correct tip diameter is matched to the snap ring being serviced to avoid tip slippage or ring damage. Eye protection is recommended when compressing or expanding retaining rings.
