External Retaining Rings, 324-Piece Carbon Steel C-Clip and E-Clip Assortment in 24 Metric Sizes - XAQMHSW
External retaining rings secure grooved shafts, pins, axles and bearings while keeping assemblies compact. This XAQMHSW assortment contains 324 black carbon-steel C-clips and E-clips across 24 metric sizes. The combination lets mechanics and DIY users choose a circular C-style ring or a side-installing E-clip for compatible automotive, motorcycle, lawn-equipment, power-tool, appliance and machinery repairs.
E-clips span 2 to 12mm and C-clips span 5 to 16mm, with every size labeled in a clear compartment case. These are external rings intended for grooves on the outside of a shaft, not internal bore rings. Measure the shaft and groove rather than choosing by appearance, and use appropriate retaining-ring tools and eye protection during removal or installation. An 840-piece variant is also listed.
