Grip, disassemble and install ext. circlips securely
Precise and stable, forged tips
The quality of the tips of circlip pliers is a pivotal factor when circlips are placed on and removed from shafts. The tips engage with the mounting holes of the circlips, have to overcome the ring strain and keep the circlips securely on the pliers after removal or before placement. In the case of the Knipex 46 31 A02 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 is how the circlips are held securely on the pliers. 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.
