External circlip pliers – straight, also known simply as external circlip pliers or snap ring pliers, are specialized hand tools designed for installing and removing external circlips or snap rings. Circlips are ring-shaped fasteners with open ends that fit into machined grooves on the outside of a shaft or bore. External circlip pliers are specifically designed to work with these types of retaining rings.

The “straight” designation indicates that the tips of the pliers are aligned in a straight line, as opposed to angled or curved tips. This straight configuration allows for easier access to circlips in certain applications.

These pliers typically have pointed or semi-circular jaws that fit into the holes or notches of the circlip, facilitating the compression or expansion of the ring for installation or removal. The handles are designed for comfortable grip and effective leverage.
