Answer
Spiral retaining rings are inherently more tamper-resistant than stamped rings because they lack the eyelets used by standard circlip pliers. Removal requires a small screwdriver or dental pick to 'unwind' the first turn from the groove. For high-security applications, the ring can be designed with a 'removal notch' that is only accessible through a specific port in the housing. This makes them ideal for consumer electronics and military hardware where field-disassembly is discouraged.
