Crimp Ring Retainers are installed into a groove on a shaft or pin - effectively securing the pin in place. Also known as X-Washers, these clips are low carbon steel and can be pressed closed, as well as removed, with a standard pliers. Designed to withstand heavy end-loads, crimp ring retainers are a robust and cost-effective clip. CRR's are installed axially, meaning from the side of the pin rather than over the tip.
