FAQs
What is the primary use of these circlip pliers?
These pliers are designed specifically for compressing and fitting external circlips onto shafts or into grooves.
What range of circlip sizes can these pliers handle?
The pliers have a jaw capacity that opens up to 60mm, suitable for external circlips ranging from approximately 19mm to 60mm in diameter.
Are these pliers suitable for internal circlips?
No, these are designed exclusively for external circlips. They will not function correctly for internal circlips.
What does 'bent' refer to in the product name?
The 'bent' refers to the angle of the 1.75mm tips on the jaws, which are angled to provide better access and leverage when working with external circlips, especially in tight spaces.
How should I clean and maintain the pliers?
Wipe clean with a dry cloth after use. Store in a dry place to prevent rust. Avoid harsh chemicals and inspect jaws regularly for damage.
Do these pliers meet any industry standards?
Yes, these pliers meet DIN standards 5254, indicating they adhere to recognized quality and performance specifications.
What is the length of the pliers?
The pliers are 175mm (approximately 7 inches) in length.
Troubleshooting
Pliers do not grip the circlip securely
Ensure the circlip size is within the 19-60mm capacity. Check that the 1.75mm tips are correctly aligned with the circlip's holes or grooves. Inspect tips for damage or wear.
Difficulty accessing the circlip
The bent tip design is intended for specific angles. Try repositioning the pliers or rotating the workpiece if possible. For extremely confined spaces, alternative straight-tip pliers might be needed.
Handles feel slippery
Wipe the plastic-dipped handles with a clean, dry cloth. Ensure there is no oil or grease residue on the handles. For very wet conditions, consider using work gloves.
Jaws appear bent or damaged
Cease use immediately. Using damaged pliers can lead to circlip slippage and potential injury. Contact the retailer for a replacement if within the warranty period.
