Troubleshooting
Pliers do not grip circlip securely
Ensure the circlip is the correct size for the 1mm tips. Verify that the tips are clean and free from debris. Check for any bending or damage to the plier tips.
Difficulty accessing tight areas
Utilize the bent nose pliers in the set if the straight nose design is obstructed. Try different angles of approach.
Pliers feel stiff or difficult to open/close
Clean the pivot joint thoroughly and apply a light machine oil. Check for any obstructions or damage around the pivot.
