FAQs
Are these pliers suitable for external circlips?
No, the 179A.13 model is specifically designed for internal circlips.
What is the total length of these pliers?
The pliers have an overall length of 140mm.
What is the recommended size range for these pliers?
They are designed for internal circlips ranging from 12mm to 25mm.
Can I use these on larger clips if I am careful?
It is not recommended, as it can cause tip distortion and potential tool failure.
How should I clean the tool?
Wipe with a clean cloth and use a degreaser if necessary. Ensure the tool is dry before storage.
Troubleshooting
Tool tips slipping off the circlip holes
Verify that the circlip diameter is within the 12-25mm range and ensure the tool is held perpendicular to the clip.
Pliers feel stiff or difficult to close
Clean the pivot joint of any grit or debris and apply a drop of high-quality machine oil.
Tips are slightly bent
Check if the circlip was forced beyond its elastic limit. If tips are damaged, they may need professional replacement or the tool should be retired to maintain safety.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-grade distortion resistance maintains tip shape over time
- Compact 140mm length is ideal for confined engine or machinery bays
- Designed specifically for high-frequency professional use
- Reliable, ergonomic grip ensures controlled installation and removal
Cons
- Limited to internal circlips only (not reversible for external use)
- Restricted to a 12-25mm size range
- Requires proper technique to avoid over-expanding small clips
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Facom 179A.13 pliers, always verify that the internal circlip size falls between 12mm and 25mm before attempting removal. Using these pliers on clips outside of this range may damage the tips or result in a loss of control.
Maintenance is straightforward: keep the joint mechanism clean of metal shavings and debris to ensure smooth operation. A light application of machine oil on the pivot point periodically will maintain the smooth action of the spring. Always store the tool in a dry, organized toolbox or tool board to prevent surface oxidation.
