Precise grip for holding and installing circlips even in confined spaces
Circlips on engines and machines are often covered by other components. Front access to the shaft and circlip is not possible in this situation. With the Knipex precision circlip pliers 49 21 A21, angled 90° in front, even difficult-to-reach circlips can be installed and removed from shafts in the shortest possible time. Every step works because the extremely stable, cold-formed tips immediately grip the mounting holes of the circlip and hold the circlips securely on the pliers. Precise working practices save time. In challenging repair and assembly situations, the benefits of good quality tools are always in evidence.
Extremely stable, inset tips: spring steel wire for long service life
Secure and durable pliers tips are indispensable for professional applications: the Knipex 49 21 A21 precision circlip pliers are used during engine or gearbox overhauls, for example, or in industrial mass production lines. Their high-density, smooth spring steel wire tips are hard to beat in terms of stability.
Pliers head angled 90°: circlips can be easily accessed and held securely
The pliers head of the Knipex 49 21 A21 precision circlip pliers is angled 90°. Thanks to this construction, inaccessible, partially covered circlips can be easily reached. The bolted joint produces a very smooth movement with zero backlash. Manual force can be precisely controlled as there is almost no friction to overcome.
