Product Identity

These Knipex external circlip pliers are built for technicians who install or remove retaining rings with a 0.046 inch diameter tip. The chrome vanadium steel construction and bent tips suit precision work in automotive and mechanical maintenance.

Interface Limits

The 0.046 inch tip diameter defines the maximum ring size the tool can engage; rings requiring larger or smaller tips will not fit. Bent tips restrict access to straight-on orientations, so clearance around the workpiece must allow the angled approach.

Setup Check

Verify that the retaining rings you service match the 0.046 inch external specification before ordering. Confirm that the work area provides enough room for the bent-tip profile and that the gray plastic grip is acceptable for your workshop environment.

Questions about this item

Which tip diameter matches the circlips I'm working with?

The .046" D tip size is built for external retaining rings that require that exact diameter.

How does the bent tip design help once the tool is in the engine bay?

Angled tips reach around obstructions and give clear sight of the ring groove in tight spaces.

What does the Chrome Vanadium steel construction mean for daily shop use?

High alloy steel resists tip deformation and holds precision through repeated cycles.
