Common design questions Are internal and external pliers interchangeable? + Usually not. Their opening action differs, so select from whether the ring sits in a bore or on a shaft.
Straight or bent tips? + Use straight tips for direct access and consider bent tips for obstructed or side access, confirming full tip engagement.
