KNIPEX 90° external circlip pliers 19-60 mm

Secure grip, removal and installation of external circlips

Precise and stable, forged tips

The quality of circlip plier tips is critical when installing or removing rings on shafts. The tips must grip the ring’s mounting holes, overcome the ring’s tension and hold the ring securely on the pliers after removal or before installation – without overstretching the ring. With the Knipex 46 21 A21 pliers, the handles and tips are forged as one piece, ensuring high durability. The tips are precision-machined and slightly angled outwards to prevent the circlip from slipping. For better access in tight installation spaces, the main sections are also machined to be as narrow as possible while retaining the necessary rigidity.

Well-controlled force transmission to the circlip

When installing or removing circlips, it is important that the user can overcome the ring’s tension without overstretching it. The balanced tool geometry and friction-free force transmission of the Knipex 46 21 A21 pliers make this task easy. The pliers have a precision joint and stable tips, ensuring reliable performance.
