Wiha 180mm Straight Circlip Pliers Z34001

Wiha Straight circlip pliers with MagicTips® are precision-engineered for inserting and removing outer (shafts) retaining rings. The MagicTips® safety latch locks the circlip onto the plier tips during positioning — preventing the ring from launching under spring tension, which is a common cause of eye and face injuries. Hardened tips engage the circlip holes cleanly without slipping. Compliant with DIN ISO 5256.

Where this tool is used

• Maintenance and repair on gearboxes, bearing housings, and drive shafts — shaft circlips retain bearings and seal rings on rotating components.
• Hydraulic cylinder and pneumatic actuator servicing — piston retaining rings are removed and reinstalled during seal replacement.
• Pump and motor assembly — retaining rings secure impellers, couplings, and shaft-mounted components that must be removed for maintenance.

Key specifications

Selecting the right option

Inner-ring pliers (J type) fit circlips seated inside bores; outer-ring pliers (A type) fit circlips on shafts. Angled tips give access to recessed rings; straight tips suit open assemblies. Match plier size to ring diameter — oversized tips produce tip deflection and ring launch risk. Always use MagicTips® latch during installation to prevent injury.
