Choosing a retaining ring
For a circlip, decide first whether it goes on a shaft (external) or in a bore (internal), then match the shaft or bore diameter in the product title and the groove it will sit in. Choose stainless steel where the part will be wet, washed down or outdoors. An E-clip is an open clip that fits onto a grooved shaft. Metric and imperial rings are not interchangeable, so measure before you order. A kit is an easy way to cover a range of sizes for maintenance, and the refills restock the Champion assortments. For a Ko-Ken socket clip, match the drive size and the socket size in the title. You will also need the right circlip pliers for the type you are fitting. Our guides cover the basics: circlips and circlip pliers. Always check the product page for the specification and application before you order.
