Product Description

Grip, disassemble and install ext. circlips securely
Precise and stable, forged tips for large external circlips.
Robust tips are indispensable, especially with larger shaft diameters, because a great deal is demanded of them when the circlips are positioned or removed. They engage with the mounting holes of the circlips, must bear the ring strain and keep the circlip securely on the pliers. This places high demands on their precision and stability. In the case of the Knipex 46 31 A32 circlip pliers, the tips are precisely overtwisted and tilt slightly outwards. This prevents the clips from coming off the tips. 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 long service life of these pliers is the result of their construction: pliers handles and tips are forged in one piece.
Well-controlled transmission of manual force to the circlip
Circlip pliers must offer two main functions: firstly the user must be able to overcome ring strain with ease and secondly circlips must not be overextended. The Knipex 46 31 A32 circlip pliers are ideal in this regard. It has a well-crafted, high-quality, precision joint and stable tips.
Pliers head angled 45°: circlips can be easily accessed and held securely
Every step works with the Knipex 46 31 A32. The circlips hold what they need to hold. The pliers head is angled 45°, so that circlips can be reached with ease when vertical access to the circlip is impossible. The Knipex 46 31 A32 circlip pliers are often used as a reliable, professional tool in plant/mechanical engineering.
