Accurate and stable, forged tips with a diameter of 1.3 mm
The tips of circlip pliers grip into the installation holes of the circlips. These drilled holes offer the tips of the pliers only little room for manoeuvre. The tips of the circlip pliers are therefore crucial when fitting and removing circlips. They must do two things – overcome the ring tension and hold the circlip securely after removal or before insertion. High requirements are therefore placed on the accuracy and stability of the tips of the pliers.
With the Knipex 44 11 J1, 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, which prevents the circlips springing off the tips of the pliers.
Reinforced, measured manual force precisely into the installation holes
With pliers, the measurable force that reaches the component is just one of many parameters. Of prime importance is that the manual force is applied to the component in an accurate, well-measured manner. This applies especially to circlips as they are subjected to bending pressure when fitted and removed. Thanks to quality machining, balanced tool geometry and precise joint, manual force reaches the circlip in a manner that enables the user to work in the best way: accurately, and gentle on hands.
Reach circlips well, grip and hold them accurately
Reliable circlip pliers like the Knipex 44 11 J1 noticeably simplify work. They have very slim working tips. They sit comfortably in the hand, can be positioned accurately in the circlip installation holes and hold the circlips firmly.
