This Wiha 4-piece Circlip Pliers Set is designed for professionals and DIYers who frequently work with circlips. Its key benefit is the MagicTips safety locking function, which prevents lost circlips and ensures a secure grip, saving time and preventing costly damage. A potential caveat is that specific applications may require different types of plier tips beyond the included straight ones.

The MagicTips feature is a special snap-in function on the plier tips that securely holds the circlip, preventing it from slipping or being lost during installation or removal.
This set includes pliers for both inner circlips (used in bores/holes) and outer circlips (used on shafts/axles).
Use the 'J' pliers (J1, J2) for inner circlips inside holes, and the 'A' pliers (A1, A2) for outer circlips on shafts. The numerical designation often corresponds to size, with larger numbers typically indicating larger pliers.
These pliers are designed for precision work and general mechanical applications. For extremely heavy-duty or continuous industrial use, specialized industrial-grade pliers might be considered, though Wiha products are known for their durability.
Keep the pliers clean, dry, and periodically lubricate the pivot points. Store them properly to protect the precision tips from damage.
The entire 4-piece set weighs approximately 676 grams.
While the pliers are designed for standard circlips, working with damaged or heavily bent circlips can be difficult and may risk damaging the plier tips. It is recommended to replace damaged circlips before attempting removal or installation.
Ensure you are using the correct plier type (inner/outer) and that the MagicTips feature is properly engaged. Check that the plier tips are clean and not damaged.
Clean the pivot area of the pliers and apply a small amount of light lubricating oil. Check for any foreign debris caught in the mechanism.
Verify that the pliers are the correct size and type for the circlip. Ensure the circlip is not bent or damaged. For stubborn circlips, gentle, steady pressure is recommended over forceful prying.
Setup: The circlip pliers are ready for immediate use upon unpacking. Ensure you select the correct plier type (inner for bores, outer for shafts) and the appropriate tip shape and size for the circlip you are working with.
Compatibility: This set is designed for standard circlips used in mechanical applications. It is compatible with circlips intended for use in holes (inner rings) and on shafts/axles (outer rings).
Care: To maintain the longevity and precision of your circlip pliers:
