KNIPEX 46 31 A32 Circlip Pliers for External Retaining Rings

KNIPEX 46 31 A32 Circlip Pliers
The KNIPEX circlip pliers model 46 31 A32, 8 inches (210 mm) with 45-degree angled tips, are professional hand tools designed for installing and removing external circlips on shafts or large steel axles ranging from 40 to 100 mm. The 45° angled tips provide convenient access to confined, deep, or hard-to-reach areas during machinery maintenance. Drop-forged from chrome vanadium electric steel and oil-hardened, the tips are strong, precise, and highly resistant to twisting forces. The pliers securely grip retaining rings to prevent slipping when expanding, while non-slip plastic-coated handles offer agile control and reduce squeezing effort to the world-class standards of German professional tools.
