Firmly grip, dismantle and fit concealed internal circlips
Accurate and stable, forged tips for an ideal hold
The precision of the pliers tips is the crucial factor when fitting and dismantling circlips, because the installation holes in the circlips offer the tips of the circlips pliers very little room for manoeuvre. The tips must furthermore overcome the ring tension and securely hold the circlip after removal or before insertion. This places high demands on the accuracy and stability of the pliers tips. With the Knipex 44 31 J22, 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. As a result, the circlips are held tightly on the pliers tips.
Reinforced, measured manual force precisely into the installation holes
The amount of force reaching the component is by no means everything with pliers. The main thing is for the manual force to be applied to the component in an accurate, well-measured manner. This applies in particular when working with circlips, because the circlips are under tension when inserted and removed. Thanks to quality machining, balanced tool geometry and precision joint, the way the manual force reaches the circlip allows the user to work in the best manner: hand-friendly and precise.
Poorly accessible circlips can be reached well due to the angled tips
The Knipex 44 31 J22 is narrow at the front and at a 45° angle for ideal access also to circlips that are difficult to reach. They sit comfortably in the hand, can be positioned accurately in the circlip installation holes and hold the circlips firmly. Working with first-class circlips pliers such as the Knipex 44 31 J22 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 that has sprung off because the tips of poorly machined circlip pliers have failed to hold it well can also take a long time. With the Knipex 44 31 J22, every circlip and every hand movement sits properly.
