Short assembly time, long service life

Precise grip for holding and installing large circlips on shafts

Assembly time = production time. Precision pliers save time. In industry, as in manual trades, economically efficient work processes are vital to a company's success. Superior tools are among the most important resources. Professional tools like the Knipex 49 11 A3 precision circlip pliers enable large circlips to be installed and removed from shafts in the shortest possible time. Precise working practices save time. Every step works because the extremely stable, cold-formed tips immediately grip the mounting holes of the circlips and hold these securely on the pliers without twisting.

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

Typical applications for Knipex 49 11 A3 precision circlip pliers include repairs to agricultural equipment or the assembly of commercial vehicles. Made from high-density, smooth spring steel wire and compressed using the cold forming process, the tips are hard to beat in terms of stability, making them ideal for tasks like this.

Bolted, zero backlash joint for delicate, precision work

As with the Knipex 49 11 A3 precision circlip pliers, bolted joints can be set much more precisely than riveted joints. The bolted joint results in a very smooth movement with zero backlash. This is particularly useful not just in confined installation situations and when working with small circlips. Manual force can be excellently controlled.
