External Shaft Rings, Poodle Style
Poodle-style external retaining rings for shafts — heavy-arc rings whose looped lug gives a deep plier grip for large shafts — with the collected 11-size table (rings 15 to 125): d2, d3, s, dg, b, d1, m, n and the source’s six supplementary columns.

Specifications
The poodle-style ring is an external retaining ring named for its looped, poodle-head lug: a heavy open arc with a formed eye that gives pliers a deep, positive grip on large-diameter shafts. It serves where a standard circlip is awkward to compress at size — the loop gives the tool purchase without the ring’s section giving way. The collected table lists rings 15 through 125 — 11 sizes — with groove-side geometry (d2 with per-size tolerance, d3 reference, s, dg, b, d1, m with tolerance, n min.) plus six supplementary columns under their printed labels. The collected page header prints "All measurements in millimeters (mm)", yet the value scale and the ring numbering follow the imperial retaining-ring convention; every figure below is reproduced exactly as printed and the unit question should be confirmed at quotation.

- Unit conflict (source-level, verified against the collected page): the source header prints "All measurements in millimeters (mm)" while every value follows the imperial retaining-ring convention — the decimal-inch value scale, the ring-numbering ladder and the supplementary load columns match the inch-series ring tables elsewhere in the same source programme. All figures are reproduced exactly as printed with no conversion; treat the dimensional columns as inch values and confirm units at quotation.

Frequently asked questions
What does the poodle-style lug change in practice?
Handling at size. On large shafts a conventional circlip is hard to compress evenly — the pliers slip or the ring springs — while the looped lug gives the tool a positive, deep grip, so installation stays controlled. The trade is a lug envelope that stands further off the shaft than a standard ring: check the m and n min. columns against adjacent parts before choosing it. Beyond the lug, selection works like any external ring — size by shaft diameter against the collected table’s d2 groove column.
