Firmly grip, dismantle and fit concealed large internal circlips
Accurate and stable, forged tips for an ideal hold
Strong, accurately machined pliers tips are crucial when working with large circlips – for example in agriculture, mechanical engineering and motor construction. The tips must overcome the high ring tension and hold the circlip securely despite the fact that the installation holes offer the tips of circlip pliers little room for manoeuvre and friction surface. This places high demands on the accuracy and stability of the pliers tips. With the Knipex 44 31 J32, the handle and tips are forged in one piece, which produces correspondingly high durability. The very accurately twisted tips are also machined so they slant inwards slightly. As a result, the circlips are held tightly on the pliers tips.
Reinforced, measured manual force precisely into the installation holes
With pliers, the measurable force that reaches the component is not everything. Of prime importance is for manual force to be applied to the component in an accurate, well-measured manner. This applies especially to pliers for circlips, because the circlips are subjected to pressure when installed and removed. Thanks to quality machining, balanced tool geometry and precise joint, manual force reaches the circlip in a way that enables the user to work in the best way: accurately, and gentle on hands. With a length of 225 mm, the Knipex 44 31 J32 has sufficient leverage for large circlips.
Poorly accessible circlips can be reached well thanks to angled tips
Strong circlips pliers like the Knipex 44 31 J32 are ideal e.g. in farming, in engine manufacturing and mechanical engineering. They are narrow at the front and at a 45° angle for ideal access also to circlips that are difficult to reach. This is an advantage when working with concealed circlips. They sit comfortably in the hand, can be positioned accurately in the circlip installation holes and hold the circlips firmly. First-class circlips pliers such as the Knipex 44 31 J32 save a great deal of time, as anyone who has tried to extract a circlip, e.g. of a piston pin, from a drilled hole using makeshift tools will know. Having to search the workshop for a circlip that has sprung off because the tips of poorly machined circlip pliers have failed to hold it can also take a long time. With the Knipex 44 31 J32, every circlip and every hand movement sits properly.
