Built for Real Farm Work
External snap rings are the go-to choice when you need to secure parts on the outside of a shaft or housing. They’re commonly used on PTO shafts, hydraulic cylinders, loader arms, and countless other applications where parts need to stay put but still allow for easy maintenance access. This kit gives you the most common sizes you’ll encounter on tractors and implements.
Made to Last
Farm equipment snap rings take a beating from vibration, temperature changes, and the constant flexing that comes with heavy work. These TISCO rings are made from quality spring steel that maintains its grip and won’t become brittle or lose tension over time. They’ll handle the abuse your equipment dishes out season after season.
Good to Know
Always use snap ring pliers when installing external rings – trying to stretch them with screwdrivers or other tools can weaken the metal and create a safety hazard. Make sure the ring seats properly in its groove and check that it’s not twisted or partially seated. Keep this kit in your toolbox because snap rings have a way of disappearing right when you need them most.
