FAQs

What is the main advantage of the 90° bent tips?

The 90° bent tips provide improved access and control when working with external circlips in tight or confined spaces, allowing for easier installation and removal.

What material are these pliers made from?

They are manufactured from high-quality chrome vanadium electric steel, which is oil hardened and tempered for superior strength and durability.

What size circlips can these pliers accommodate?

How should I maintain these pliers to ensure longevity?

What does 'DIN ISO 5254B Specifications' mean?

This indicates that the pliers have been manufactured in accordance with specific international standards for quality and performance, ensuring reliability.

Troubleshooting

Pliers do not grip circlip securely

Ensure the circlip is within the 10-25mm range specified for these pliers. Check if the tips are worn or damaged; if so, professional servicing or replacement may be needed. Ensure the circlip is correctly seated on the tips.

Handles feel stiff or difficult to open/close

Clean any debris from the pivot joint. Apply a small amount of light machine oil to the joint. Work the handles back and forth to distribute the oil.

Rust appears on the plier surface

Clean the affected area with a soft cloth and a mild rust remover. Dry thoroughly and apply a light coat of protective oil. Store in a dry place.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, wipe the pliers clean with a dry cloth to remove any grease, dirt, or debris.
