Grip, disassemble and install ext. circlips on shafts securely
Precise and stable, forged tips
The shape and quality of the tips of the pliers are crucially important when circlips are placed and removed. The tips engage with the mounting holes of the circlips. They have to overcome the ring strain and keep the circlip securely on the pliers after removal or before placement. This places high demands on their precision and stability. In the case of the Knipex 46 11 A1 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.
Well-controlled transmission of manual force to the circlip
The Knipex 46 11 A1 circlip pliers enable manual force to be applied to the workpiece in a precise and controlled way. The ring strain can be easily overcome and circlips are not overextended. It has a well-crafted, high-quality, precision joint and stable tips. The integrated opening spring assists the user when opening the pliers.
Precise grip for holding and installing circlips
The Knipex 46 11 A1 circlip pliers are a reliable, professional tool. It saves a lot of time: the circlip only needs to be positioned once to secure it safely. Anyone who has ever had to go in search of a circlip that has come free from less well-made circlip pliers will particularly appreciate the Knipex 46 11 A1.
