[Amps] Re Choke Formers.."Circlips"

[Mel]

You are talking about "Jesus Rings".  
 
The tool (depending on whether it's a compression type or, an expansion type) is bent at the tip and shaped to fit the holes in the retaining ring.
 
If that ring pops off the tool while you are manipulating it, there's only one person who will be able to find it, "Jesus"; hence the name.

To Carl and all..My reference to circlips obviously has a different 
meaning in your lingo.....The "circlips" I refer to are used on
shafts 
to hold bearings etc in place and are not a closed circle..They are 
applied with a special tool..
