Grip, disassemble and install small ext. circlips securely
Precise and stable, forged tips
The shape and quality of the tips of a circlip pliers are crucially important when circlips are positioned or removed. The tips engage with the mounting holes of the circlips, 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 Knipex 46 21 A01 circlip pliers, angled 90° in front, the pliers handles and tips are forged in a single 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. This keeps them as narrow as possible while achieving the specified rigidity.
