Product Information

Full details

The Facom 479.32 internal circlip pliers are designed for professional mechanics and industrial maintenance technicians who require a heavy-duty tool for managing large internal circlips ranging from 85mm to 200mm. These pliers offer a distinct advantage through their integrated rack mechanism, which securely holds circlips in a compressed position for safer and more efficient installation, though their specialized size range makes them less suitable for precision electronics or smaller automotive applications.

FAQs

Can I use these for external circlips?

No, this model is specifically designed for internal circlips. Using them on external clips may cause the tool to slip.

What is the total weight of the tool?

The Facom 479.32 weighs 480g.

Are the tips replaceable?

Yes, the pliers feature interchangeable tips to maintain performance over the life of the tool.

What is the maximum circlip size this tool can handle?

The tool is rated for internal circlips up to 200mm in diameter.

How do I engage the rack mechanism?

Simply compress the pliers to the desired width; the rack will automatically engage to hold the position.

Troubleshooting

Rack mechanism feels stiff or sticks during operation

Clean the rack teeth with a wire brush and apply a small amount of machine oil to ensure smooth movement.

Tips are slipping out of circlip eyes

Verify that you are using the correct tip size and ensure the tips are fully seated and tightened into the pliers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Locking rack prevents the circlip from snapping back during installation
  • High-quality chrome finish provides excellent longevity
  • Comfortable grip design minimizes hand fatigue during repetitive use
  • Substantial build quality capable of handling large internal clips

Cons

  • Not suitable for smaller circlips below 85mm
  • Requires specific tip maintenance to ensure consistent engagement
  • Heavy-duty profile may be cumbersome for tight, restricted spaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure peak performance, check that the tips are securely fastened before each use. The pliers are compatible with internal circlips ranging from 85mm to 200mm; attempting to use them outside this range may lead to tip failure or damage to the circlip.

Care instructions:

  1. Keep the rack mechanism free of metal debris and grime to prevent jamming.
  2. Periodically wipe the chrome finish with a clean, light oil to prevent oxidation.
  3. Inspect tips regularly for signs of wear or bending; replace immediately if the geometry is compromised.
  4. Store in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the PVC grips and the pivot mechanism.
