What are the rings?

Key pliers are tools designed to remove or install a specialized type of clip known as a ring. They have a circle appearance and are made of flat steel, plastic or other materials. The circle is missing a small section and on both sides of the missing section will have pierced small holes. The key pliers are designed similarly to other pliers, although each arm of the pliers ends in a small pin. These pins are able to fit into the openings in the ring, allowing the operator to press the clip together or unfold it. For this purpose, the ring rings are usually designed to easily perform one or the other of these tasks. Some are built so that the compression of the handles together causes the pegs to join together as a typical creep. Others pull out the pins apart from each other when they pressed the handles together while others will be reversible. These unique twisting pliers allow the operator to move the handles, work either squeeze or spread the way.

Since rings can come in different sizes and have holes of different diameters, there are often sets of rings. These sets can be supplied with a wide range of rings pliers that represent a number of pins and head patterns. Some will have a direct design while others bend at 45 ° or 90 °. This can help to deal with difficult access to rings under certain conditions.

In addition to reversible groups of rings, some with interchangeable heads can also be found. Like a regular set of lungs in the ring, it can allow removal and installation of a wide range of rings. Since many heads with different sizes and orientation PEG can be stove on one descriptor, the set can take up less space and be easier to move from work to work.

Although it is sometimes possible to remove or install a ring without the right creep, the task is usually much easier with the correct toolsm. The spread of the ring can be possible using several small screwdrivers, although it is more difficult than the use of a ring and can lead to the clip bent or drained and lost.
