  • Description

    The Lang Tools Heavy-Duty Pliers w/ Tip Kit (87) is a professional-grade tool engineered for servicing demanding extra-large internal and external retaining rings. This specialized plier system offers a controlled and efficient method for handling rings that typically pose challenges for conventional tools. Designed for reliability, the Model 87 facilitates secure installation and removal of retaining rings in various automotive, industrial, and heavy equipment applications.

    KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

    • Stable Retaining Ring Service: Provides a secure and steady approach to managing large retaining rings, reducing the risk of slippage or uncontrolled release during operation.
    • Effortless Ring Manipulation: Features a compound screw lever mechanism that multiplies force, allowing for smooth and controlled expansion or compression of large rings with reduced physical effort.
    • Reliable Performance: Constructed from heat-treated alloy steel components, ensuring consistent performance and a long operational lifespan even when working with the most stubborn retaining rings. This construction provides a level of dependability often absent in less specialized tools for this range of ring sizes.
    • Versatile Tip Kit: Includes a selection of interchangeable tips in various sizes and angles, enabling the tool to adapt to different retaining ring configurations and access requirements.
    • Wide Application Range: Capable of servicing both internal and external retaining rings from 3-1/2 inches (90mm) to 7 inches (175mm) in diameter.

    SPECIFICATIONS:

    • Model Number: 87
    • Internal Ring Diameter Range: 3-1/2 inches (90mm) to 7 inches (175mm)
    • External Ring Diameter Range: 3-1/2 inches (90mm) to 7 inches (175mm)
    • Included Tip Diameters: 0.120 inches (3.0mm), 0.150 inches (3.8mm), 0.180 inches (4.6mm)
    • Included Tip Angles: 20°, 72°
    • Contents: Heavy-Duty Pliers, pairs of interchangeable tips (0.120", 0.150", 0.180" in 20° and 72° angles), hex key for tip changes, storage pouch or case.

    HOW TO USE:

    1. Select Appropriate Tips: Identify the correct tip size and angle (straight, 20°, or 72°) that corresponds to the eyelets and orientation of the retaining ring you are working with. Ensure the tips fit snugly into the ring's eyelets.
    2. Install Tips: Insert the chosen tips into the plier arms and secure them using the provided hex key. Ensure they are fully seated and tightened to prevent movement during use.
    3. Position Pliers: For internal rings, place the tips inside the ring's eyelets. For external rings, place the tips outside the ring's eyelets. Make sure the plier body is aligned to provide even pressure.
    4. Operate Screw Lever: Slowly rotate the compound screw lever to either expand (for internal rings or external ring removal) or compress (for external rings or internal ring removal) the retaining ring. Turn the screw gradually to gain control over the ring's movement.
    5. Install or Remove Ring: Once the ring is sufficiently expanded or compressed to clear its groove, carefully install it into position or remove it from the component. Maintain control with the screw lever throughout this process.
    6. Release Tension: After installation or removal, slowly rotate the screw lever in the opposite direction to release the tension on the ring and remove the pliers.
