Grip, disassemble and install ext. circlips securely

Precise and stable, forged tips

The quality of the tips of circlip pliers is crucially important when circlips are placed on and removed from shafts. The tips engage with the circlip mounting holes in order to overcome the strain and keep the circlip securely on the pliers after removal or before placement – without overextending. In the case of the Knipex 46 21 A31 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.
