Knipex Circlip Pliers for Grip Rings

Knipex 46 11 G0 retaining-ring pliers are built for installing and removing external grip rings on shafts. Chrome vanadium steel construction with an atramentized phosphate finish resists corrosion in workshop environments. The 5-1/2 inch overall length fits confined spaces while providing adequate leverage. Standard cushion grips reduce hand fatigue during repetitive tasks.

Suited for external ring work only

These pliers serve technicians who need a dedicated tool for external grip rings on shafts up to 4 mm diameter. The spring-return action and adjustable stop screw speed up repeated operations without over-expanding the ring. Buyers requiring internal circlip service, larger shaft diameters, or replaceable tips should select a different model.

.035 inch tip diameter for precision fit

The .035 inch straight tips engage small grip rings securely without slipping. Nonslip tip geometry and the built-in overexpansion stop protect both the ring and the workpiece during removal. This tip specification determines whether the pliers match the ring grooves in your application.

Questions about this item

What does the 0.035 in tip diameter mean for grip-ring work?

The 0.035 in tips fit the small holes of grip rings sized for shafts from 1 1/2 mm to 4 mm, giving precise engagement without slipping.

How does the spring-return jaw opening help during repetitive circlip jobs?

The spring return opens the jaws automatically after each squeeze, reducing hand fatigue when installing or removing many grip rings in succession.

What does the adjustable stop screw do on these 5-1/2 in pliers?

The adjustable stop screw limits jaw spread so the tips cannot over-expand the ring, protecting both the ring and the shaft groove.
