Knipex Circlip Pliers - 300mm

These pliers are specifically designed for the installation and removal of internal circlips (retaining rings) used in mechanical assemblies.

They are designed for use with bore sizes ranging from Ø 85mm to 140mm.

No, the Knipex 81014 are exclusively designed for internal circlips. External circlip pliers have a different jaw configuration.

They are manufactured from chrome vanadium electric steel, which is oil-hardened and tempered for durability.

Clean them with a dry cloth after use, lubricate the pivot point periodically, and store them in a dry place. Avoid exposure to moisture.

The tips measure Ø 3.2mm.

Using the pliers outside their specified range can lead to poor performance, damage to the circlip, or damage to the pliers themselves. It is recommended to use them only within the designated bore size.

Ensure the circlip is within the specified bore size range (Ø 85–140mm) and that the pliers' tips are correctly seated in the circlip's internal grooves. Check for any wear or damage on the non-slip tips.

Verify that you are using the correct pliers for internal circlips and that the bore size is appropriate. Ensure the circlip itself is not bent or damaged. Apply gentle, steady pressure.

Clean the pivot area and apply a small amount of lubricating oil. Check for any debris or corrosion that might be obstructing movement. If damage is present, professional servicing may be required.

Inspect the tips for deformation or excessive wear. If the tips are damaged, the pliers may not function correctly and should be replaced to avoid damaging the circlips or workpiece.
