Right-Angle Internal Circlip Pliers

Knipex 44-23-J11 pliers are designed for technicians who install or remove internal circlips in bores from 12 mm to 25 mm. The 90-degree angled tips reach into confined housings where straight pliers cannot operate. Chrome-plated HAWA steel resists corrosion in workshop environments. Plastic-dipped red handles provide a secure grip during repetitive use.

90-Degree Tip Angle for Restricted Access

The defining specification is the 90-degree tip angle combined with a .051 in tip diameter. This geometry allows the jaws to engage circlip lugs inside deep or narrow bores without clearing surrounding components. Manual jaw opening gives direct tactile control over spread force. Nonslip tips reduce the chance of the circlip flying out during removal.

Fits Standard Tool Storage

At 5 1/8 in overall length the pliers fit common tool trays, foam inserts and roll cabinets without dedicated compartments. No tether point means they stay light for bench work but require a lanyard solution for height safety. Replaceable tips are not offered so the tool is replaced when tips wear. The chrome finish withstands solvent wipes used in automotive and industrial maintenance.

Questions about this item

How does the 90 degree tip angle affect use inside a bore?

The 90 degree angled tips let you reach internal circlips that sit deeper or at an angle inside the bore, giving better leverage than straight tips in tight spaces.

What does the 12 to 25 mm bore range mean for circlip compatibility?

These pliers fit internal circlips designed for bores from 12 mm up to 25 mm, covering the most common sizes in automotive and machinery assemblies.

Will the 5 1/8 inch overall length fit in my tool pouch?

At 5 1/8 inches long, the pliers are compact enough for most standard tool pouches or belt holsters while still providing enough handle leverage for circlip removal.
