Master fiddly circlips with the Clarke CHT686 10" (254mm) circlip plier

Circlips, they are both a blessing and, in some cases, a curse when working on your bike. If you have the tool to tackle them, life is a breeze. If you don’t, prepare yourself for grazed knuckles and lots of swearing.

To prevent the latter, a circlip plier set is what you need, and luckily for you, Clarke has just the thing, in the form of the CHT686 10" (or 254mm in new money) circlip plier set. The comprehensive pack is a must-have for any rider who likes to get hands-on with their bike, and it can save you time, effort and your knuckles!

Not all circlip pliers are created equal!

One of the best things about this set is that it covers both internal and external circlips. That means you can extract con-rod circlips with ease one minute, and pull your worn-out front sprocket off the next.

The pliers, though, are just the tip of the iceberg, as the CHT686 also comes with six additional attachments. Each features a different angle, meaning that hard-to-reach fasteners can be attacked without having to totally dismantle your bike. 

They might not be a tool you use every day, but when you need them, they’ll be there, thanks to tough coatings and thick, insulated, ergonomically designed handles.

You can check out the Clarke CHT686 10" (254mm) circlip plier set on the official website.
