I do not know the name to search for a supplier of the washer.
The washer fits in a slot to retain a hexagonal bar in a hexagonal hole.
I tried to search for a C-shaped locking washer unsuccessfully.
Any polite suggestions would be most welcome.
The name of C shaped washer please!

A circlip can be internal or external and has a couple of holes to take the prongs of a pair of circlip pliers.
Agreed, much much easier to take the things off or put them on with a pair.
