Grip, disassemble and install ext. circlips securely

Precise and stable, forged tips

The quality of the tips of circlip pliers is crucial when circlips are placed in position or removed. The tips engage with the mounting holes of the circlip, have to overcome the ring strain and keep the circlip securely on the pliers after removal or before placement – without overextending it. In the case of the Knipex 46 21 A21 circlip pliers, the pliers handles and tips are forged in one piece. This produces high durability. The tips are precisely overtwisted and tilt slightly outwards. This prevents the circlips from coming off the tips. For optimal accessibility in confined installation conditions, the base tips are also overtwisted. As a result, they are kept as narrow as possible while achieving the specified rigidity.
