Circlip Plier for external circlips (shaft Seeger ring)

thingiverse

Simple Circlip Plier for external circlips/retention rings (shaft Seeger rings) - Tool designed during COVID quarentine. I designed it and print it to dismantle a Blender/Multiprocessor to which I had to change a reduction gear. Addittional parts required: M4x12mm boltt + selflocking nut 3mm hardend wire/shaft/nail in order to make the tips of the plier (I shaped the wire with an angle grinder because I had nothing else better than that - see photos to understand the aproximate shape needed to make the tips hold the ring). P.S: If you have a slightly bigger wire/nail, heat it around 70ºC and press it into the holes (I did that, because the holes size is 2.90mm - plastic shrinkage; if you do that tips will be perfectly secured in the holes, if they are loose, add some superglue). (Maybe I add an integrated spring to the handle in the future... I upload IGES in case anyone wants to add this or modify something).
