Knipex Circlip Pliers For External Circlips 170mm, Angled 1.8mm Tips

The Knipex External Circlip Pliers range is the professional standard for the safe installation and removal of retaining rings on shafts. Forged from high-grade chrome vanadium electric steel, these pliers are oil-hardened to ensure they withstand significant stress without distorting. Unlike inferior tools, Knipex pliers feature solid, non-slip tips that are machined with extreme precision to prevent the circlip from twisting or slipping off during expansion. This robust construction ensures that the tool maintains its geometry and grip strength even after years of continuous heavy-duty use in industrial environments.

Designed for maximum efficiency, this range incorporates a smooth-operating opening spring that automatically resets the pliers after each use, significantly reducing hand fatigue during repetitive assembly tasks. The series is available in a wide variety of sizes to suit different shaft diameters and offers both straight and 90-degree angled tip configurations to accommodate difficult access areas. Finished with non-slip plastic handle coatings for superior comfort and control, these pliers deliver the reliability and performance expected by Australian tradespeople.
