Accurate and stable forged tips with a diameter of 1.8 mm
Also, the shape and quality of the tips of the circlips pliers are decisive when fitting and removing circlips. The tips grip into the installation holes of the circlips, which offer the tips of the pliers little room for manoeuvre.
The tips of the pliers must overcome the high ring tension and hold the circlip securely after removal or before insertion. This places high demands on the accuracy and stability of the pliers tips.
So, with the Knipex 44 11 J2, 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. This angle prevents the circlips from springing off the tips.
Also, reinforced, measured manual force precisely into the installation holes
So, with pliers, the manual force that reaches the component is just one of many parameters. Of prime importance is that the force is applied to the component in an accurate, well-measured manner.
Therefore, this applies especially to circlips as they are subjected to bending pressure when fitted and removed.
So, 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 J2 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.
Therefore, working with first-class circlips pliers saves a great deal of time, as anyone who has tried to extract a circlip from a drilled hole using makeshift tools will know.
Having to search the workshop for a circlip because the tips of poorly machined circlip pliers have failed to hold it well can also take a long time. So, with the Knipex 44 11 J2, every circlip and every hand movement sits properly.
