FAQs

What is the primary use of the Knipex 75078 pliers?

These pliers are specifically designed for the precise installation and removal of internal circlips within a 12-25mm diameter range.

What material are the Knipex 75078 pliers made from?

They are forged from chrome vanadium electric steel, a high-strength alloy known for its durability.

Can these pliers be used for external circlips?

No, these are designed exclusively for internal circlips. External circlip pliers have a different tip configuration.

What does 'distortion-free fitting' mean?

It means the pliers are designed to install and remove circlips without causing them to bend, deform, or damage the housing they are fitted into, ensuring a clean and proper fit.

What is the capacity range of these pliers?

They are suitable for internal circlips with a diameter between 12mm and 25mm.

Are these pliers suitable for heavy-duty industrial applications?

While made of professional-grade steel, their 140mm length and specific design are best suited for medium-duty tasks. For extremely heavy-duty industrial applications, larger or specialized Knipex models might be more appropriate.

How should I maintain these pliers?

Keep them clean and dry after use, lubricate the pivot point periodically, and store them in a protected area to prevent rust and damage.

Troubleshooting

Pliers do not grip circlip securely.

Ensure the circlip is within the 12-25mm capacity range and the tips are properly aligned with the circlip's holes. Check for any debris on the tips or circlip.

Difficulty inserting or removing circlip.

Verify that you are using the correct pliers for internal circlips. Ensure the circlip is not excessively tight or rusted in place. Apply slight rotational pressure while opening or closing the handles.

Tips appear to be bending or deforming.

Cease use immediately. This indicates the pliers are being used beyond their intended capacity or on a damaged circlip. Inspect for damage and consider replacement if compromised.

Pliers feel stiff or difficult to open/close.

Clean the pivot area and apply a light machine oil. Ensure no debris is lodged in the pivot mechanism.
