Quality Tools Simplify Installation and Removal to Boost Operational Efficiency

Having the right installation tools can make a difference to your bottom line.

Because our products are engineered and packaged to make automated or manual assembly easy, we also make sure our tools minimize effort so you can increase efficiency and safety, while reducing downtime.

The lineup includes applicators, dispensers and wrenches to install retaining rings plus assembly tools for self-compensating hose clamps. Retaining ring applicators cover both standard inch and metric rings, while dispenser types include standard, heavy-duty, metric and even a handheld version. Retaining ring pliers and plier kits help ensure a proper grip no matter how small the space. And, hose clamp tools suit either manual or pneumatic installation. For added convenience, Rotor Packs provide everything you need to get your retaining ring installation process up and running quickly, all in a convenient carrying case. Rotor Clip has a long tradition of proudly engineering and making its installation tools line in the USA to give you quality and performance you can trust.
