Short assembly time, long service life

Precise grip for holding and installing circlips

In workshops and industry alike, sustainable and efficient processes are key factors. Ergonomics = healthy work conditions. Assembly time = production time. In a nutshell: precision pliers benefit everyone. Professional tools like the Knipex 48 11 J2 precision circlip pliers enable circlips to be installed and removed from holes in the shortest possible time. Every step works because the extremely stable, cold-formed tips immediately grip the mounting holes of the circlip and hold the circlips securely on the pliers.

Extremely stable, inset tips: spring steel wire for long service life

The Knipex 48 11 J2 precision circlip pliers are used when, for example, a circlip that has become stuck tight is removed during an engine overhaul. Their tips offer almost unbeatable stability. Made from high-density, smooth spring steel wire (piano wire), they are interlocked in the pliers and compressed using the cold forming process.

Bolted, zero backlash joint for powerful, precision work

Bolted joints such as the joint of the Knipex 48 11 J2 precision circlip pliers can be set much more precisely than riveted joints. This results in a very smooth joint movement with zero backlash. This is particularly useful in confined installation situations and with small circlips. Manual force can be excellently controlled.
