Knipex 49 21 A31 90 Degree External Straight Tip Circlip Pliers - 210mm

These pliers are specifically designed for the professional installation and removal of external circlips within a 40mm to 100mm capacity range.

They are forged from high-quality chrome vanadium electric steel with inserted cold drawn spring steel tips for exceptional durability and precision.

While robust, these pliers are specialized for circlip work. Using them for general gripping may lead to premature wear on the precision tips and is not recommended.

The precision tips and the spring-loaded mechanism of these pliers are engineered to grip the circlip securely and apply controlled force, preventing distortion during installation or removal.

It means the pliers have a built-in spring mechanism that keeps the jaws slightly open, allowing for easier one-handed operation when grasping or manipulating circlips.

Information on specific warranty periods is typically found on the manufacturer's official website or with the product packaging. Knipex generally offers robust warranties on their professional tools.

Apply a light machine oil to the pivot joint and work the handles back and forth to distribute the lubricant. Ensure no debris is caught in the joint.

Ensure the circlip is within the recommended 40-100mm capacity range. Check the tips for wear or damage; if damaged, the pliers may need replacement.

This can occur from misuse or excessive force. Damaged tips compromise grip and precision. It is recommended to replace the pliers if the tips are significantly bent or broken.
