Thicker than standard external retaining rings, these rings withstand greater force.

For a smooth profile and better clearance than standard external retaining rings, the lugs on these rings point inward.

The curved design of these rings works like a spring, taking up play for a tight hold.

Also known as C-style and crescent rings, these rings have a small shoulder to fit in tight spaces.

Also known as bowed E-style rings, these have a curved design that works like a spring, taking up play for a tight hold.

Slide these rings into place with one twist—no tools required—for applications with high thrust loads.

These coiled rings can be wound into place on a shaft without tools.

Use these caps to hold components in place and protect shaft ends.

Also known as flat-style speed nuts, these have a large surface to distribute loads better than standard and flanged external push rings.

Slide these rings into a groove near the end of the shaft and the tab locks them in place.

Also known as X-washers, place these rings into the groove and squeeze tight with pliers to form a 360° closure.

Thicker and stronger than standard internal retaining rings, these withstand greater thrust loads.

With teeth along the inside, these retaining rings hold chamfered shafts inside the housing of your equipment.

Slide these rings into place by hand with a single twist for applications with high thrust loads.

These coiled rings can be wound into place inside a bore or housing without tools.

Also known as E-Style and C-style rings, slide these into the groove from the side of the shaft. They provide a wider shoulder than other external retaining rings for a larger retaining surface.

These assortments include pliers to install external and internal rings.

Wind these retaining rings into a groove—no tools required for installation.

Also known as flat-style speed nuts, these have large sides, so they're easy to push over threads by hand.

A flange distributes the load over a large area and reduces stress where the nut meets the material surface.

Install and remove rings inside a bore or around a shaft. Adjust the jaw to switch from internal to external retaining ring types.

The pliers in these sets have a forged construction, which provides high strength for durability and long life.

The forged construction provides high strength for durability and long life. Use the included hex key to change tips for a different size or angle.

The handle locks in place to hold rings open or closed for easier installation and removal.

Insulated handles protect against shock from accidental contact with live electrical circuits. These pliers are tested to 1,000 volts to meet ASTM F1505.

Twist the handle to open and close the jaws. Change tips for a different size or angle using a hex key.

Slide the retaining ring in between the jaws of the tool and push the ring onto a shaft.

Hold open retaining rings without holes, such as flat- and pointed-tip lock rings. Also known as Eaton-style, constant-section, and horseshoe snap rings.

Often used to hold open retaining rings without holes, these pliers have a forged construction for strength, durability, and a long life.
