FAQs

What is the maximum opening size of these pliers?

The minimum opening is 10mm and the maximum opening is 100mm.

Are the tips replaceable?

Yes, the pliers come with three sets of replaceable hardened carbon steel tips (2.5mm, 2.8mm, and 3.5mm). These tips are considered consumable.

Can I use these pliers on small circlips?

These pliers are designed for large, heavy-duty circlips. For smaller clips, a dedicated set of smaller circlip pliers would be more appropriate.

How do I get extra leverage?

The knurled adjuster on the pliers can accept a 3/8" drive accessory, such as a ratchet or breaker bar, to provide additional leverage for tough jobs.

What material are the tips made from?

The included tips are made from hardened carbon steel.

How should I maintain these pliers?

Clean the pliers after each use, store them in a dry place, and periodically lubricate the threaded adjustment mechanism. Inspect and replace tips as they wear out.

Troubleshooting

Pliers do not open or close smoothly

Ensure the threaded adjustment mechanism is clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the threads. Check that the tips are securely screwed in.

Tips become loose during use

Re-tighten the tips firmly into their threads. If the threads on the tips or pliers appear damaged, consider replacing the tips or the tool.

Difficulty gripping or holding the circlip

Verify that the correct tip size is being used for the circlip. Ensure the tips are seated fully and squarely against the circlip. For larger or tougher clips, use the 3/8" drive accessory for added leverage.

Tips break during operation

This can occur with excessive force or if the wrong tip size is used. Ensure you are using the correct tip for the circlip size and applying force gradually. Replace broken tips immediately.
