Are snap rings the same as retaining rings?

Yes, retaining rings are also called snap rings.

What is the difference between external and internal retaining rings?

An internal retaining ring fits into housing / bore whereas an external retaining ring fits over or around a shaft / pin.

Can we reuse a retaining ring?

Most retaining rings can be removed and reused multiple times without any issue, provided that the stress generated during the installation is kept minimal. However, self-locking retaining rings get permanently locked with the shaft / housing and cannot be removed without breaking or warping the ring out of specified tolerances.

What are circlip pliers?

Circlip pliers are hand tools used for removing and installing C-clips. Circlip pliers feature a tip specifically designed for working with circlips, which is the primary distinction between these tools and regular pliers used for other purposes.
