Låsringstång Knipex 49 11 A3

The Knipex 49 11 A3 Circlip Pliers are professional-quality circlip pliers designed for installing and removing internal and external circlips. Manufactured from forged, oil-hardened chrome vanadium electric steel with drawn spring-steel inserted tips and non-slip plastic-coated handles, these pliers measure 225 mm and weigh 270 g, offering a balance of strength and handling for workshop and industrial use.

Advantages

Inserted tips for reliable operation and up to ten times longer service life in continuous use compared with turned tips. Large contact faces on the tips prevent distortion of circlips and simplify fitting. A bolted joint ensures precise, zero-backlash action. The internal opening spring is protected and captive, and the pliers body is made from durable chrome vanadium electric steel, forged and oil-hardened. Non-slip plastic coating on the handles improves grip and control.

• Installing and removing internal and external circlips

How to use

Select the correct tip orientation for internal or external circlips, position the tips into the circlip eyelets, and squeeze the handles evenly to compress or expand the circlip for removal or fitting. Use controlled, steady pressure and keep the workpiece supported to avoid slippage. After use, allow the protected internal spring to return the jaws and store the pliers in a dry place to minimise corrosion.

Recommendations

For reliable, long-lasting performance, avoid using the pliers on hardened fasteners or cutting tasks. Clean and lightly lubricant the joint periodically and inspect the inserted tips for wear; replace if tips show deformation to maintain correct circlip contact and prevent damage.
