FAQs

Can these be used for external circlips?

No, the 199A.18 is specifically designed for internal circlips only.

What is the weight of the pliers?

The pliers weigh 175g.

What is the total length of this tool?

The total length is 170mm.

Are the handles oil resistant?

Yes, the PVC grips are designed for easy cleaning and are resistant to common workshop oils and grease.

What material are the tips made of?

The tips are made from reinforced piano wire, which is chosen for its high resistance to deformation.

What is the diameter range for this model?

This tool is designed for internal circlips ranging from 18mm to 60mm.

Troubleshooting

Circlip keeps slipping off the tips

Ensure the tips are fully inserted into the circlip eyelets and that the eyelets are free of paint or rust buildup.

Tips feel slightly bent

Inspect for signs of over-extension. Ensure you are not forcing the circlip beyond its necessary compression point.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent access in confined spaces due to the 90-degree head
  • High resistance to tip deformation under tension
  • Lightweight construction reduces fatigue during repetitive tasks
  • Non-slip handle design is resistant to workshop fluids
  • High-quality build typical of the Facom professional range

Cons

  • Limited to internal circlips only
  • Not suitable for circlips outside the 18-60mm range
  • 90-degree angle may feel awkward for users accustomed to straight pliers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These pliers are ready to use out of the box. Before use, verify that the internal circlip size is within the 18mm to 60mm range. To maintain the tool, wipe the tips and grips with a clean shop cloth after exposure to oils, lubricants, or coolants. Periodically check the tips for any signs of wear or bending. Store in a dry environment and avoid using the pliers as a prying tool, as this can lead to tip misalignment or handle damage.
