Grip, disassemble and install ext. circlips securely

Precise and stable, forged tips

The tips of circlip pliers have to be multi-functional. They 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 31 A22 circlip pliers, the tips are precisely overtwisted and tilt slightly outwards. Thus 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. The pliers handles and tips are forged in a single piece. This produces high durability.

Well-controlled transmission of manual force to the circlip

When placing or removing circlips, it is important that the user can overcome the ring strain and that the circlips are not overextended. The balanced tool geometry and friction-free power transmission of the Knipex 46 31 A22 circlip pliers make it ideal for this. It has a precision joint and stable tips.

Pliers head angled 45°: circlips can be easily accessed and held securely

The Knipex 46 31 A22 circlip pliers are a reliable, professional tool. It increases the safety of machines and other technical devices on which circlips are used. Thanks to the 45° angle of the pliers head, circlips can be reached with ease when a part is in the way so that vertical access is impossible.
