Williams Comfort Products JHWPL-1600C2 Snap Ring Plier

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWPL-1600C2 is an external snap ring plier designed for use on shafts, studs, and similar components with shaft diameters ranging from 0.250 to 1.438 inches. Built from high-quality carbon steel with a Black Oxide finish, it resists rust and corrosion in demanding shop and field environments. The plier ships with 8 interchangeable tips — two each of 90-degree x 0.035-inch and 45-degree x 0.045-inch angle tips, plus 0.045-inch and 0.060-inch straight tips — covering the most common snap ring service tasks. Cushion grip handles reduce fatigue during extended use. This is a professional-grade hand tool suited for HVAC technicians, plumbers, machinists, and mechanics who regularly service equipment requiring snap ring removal or installation.

The JHWPL-1600C2 is intended for external snap rings found on shafts, studs, motor shafts, fan assemblies, pump components, and similar rotating or retained hardware common in HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical systems. The companion model PL-1600C-1 handles internal snap rings for bore diameters from 0.375 to 1.750 inches; both are available individually. When purchased as a set, 16 tips are included in a storage pouch for organized jobsite use.

Installation Notes

Snap ring plier service is typically performed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical trades during equipment teardown or assembly. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before removing snap rings from rotating components. Select the appropriate tip size and angle for the snap ring eye to avoid tip slip and potential eye injury — safety glasses are required. Do not use damaged or incorrect tips, as this can deform the snap ring or damage the component groove.
