Setup, Compatibility & Care
These pliers require no setup and are ready to use out of the box. Ensure you are working with the correct circlip size (3mm to 10mm) before applying pressure; attempting to use these on larger rings can permanently spread the tips and compromise the tool's precision.
To maintain the tool:
- Keep the tips free of debris or metal filings that could interfere with the grip.
- Apply a light coat of machine oil periodically to prevent oxidation if used in damp environments.
- Wipe the PVC handles with a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid heavy degreasers that may degrade the plastic coating.
- Store the tool in a dry, organized toolbox rack to prevent the delicate tips from bending against other heavy instruments.
