FAQs

What is the primary use for the Knipex 56174 pliers?

These pliers are specifically designed for the installation and removal of internal circlips within the size range of 19mm to 60mm.

What material are these pliers made from?

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

Are these pliers suitable for external circlips?

No, the Knipex 56174 are designed exclusively for internal circlips. A different type of circlip plier is required for external circlips.

What is the meaning of DIN ISO 5256D?

This indicates that the pliers are manufactured according to a specific German and International Organization for Standardization specification for circlip pliers, ensuring quality and performance standards.

How should I clean and maintain the pliers?

Wipe clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth and periodically lubricate the pivot with light oil. Store in a dry place to prevent rust.

What is the recommended size range for circlips?

These pliers are designed to work with internal circlips ranging from 19mm to 60mm in diameter.

Can these pliers be used for general gripping or cutting?

No, these are specialized tools for circlips. They are not designed for general gripping, cutting wire, or other tasks.

Troubleshooting

Pliers do not grip circlip securely

Ensure the circlip is within the 19-60mm range and that the tips are correctly positioned within the circlip's holes. Check for excessive wear on the tips.

Handles feel stiff or difficult to operate

Clean any dirt or debris from the pivot area and apply a light lubricating oil. Check for any obstructions or damage to the handles.

Circlip is damaged during removal/installation

Practice using the pliers on a spare circlip first. Ensure the correct size circlip is being used and apply steady, controlled pressure. Verify the 90° tips are fully engaged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed for internal circlips conforming to DIN ISO 5256D specifications. They are compatible with standard internal circlips within the specified size range.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:

  2. Lubrication: Periodically apply a light coating of oil to the pivot point to ensure smooth operation.
  3. Storage: Store in a dry environment, preferably in a tool roll or toolbox, to prevent rust and protect the tips.
