External Retaining Ring Plier

The Knipex 46 11 A0 SBA is a hand tool designed for installing and removing external circlips on shafts between 3 mm and 10 mm. It suits mechanics and technicians who need precise tip engagement on small retaining rings.

Spring Return Jaws With Nonslip Tips

Spring-loaded handles return the jaws automatically after each squeeze, reducing hand fatigue during repetitive work. The .035 in diameter tips are set at 0 degrees and feature a nonslip surface to hold rings securely without slipping off.

Check Shaft Range And Tip Clearance

Verify that the circlips you service fall within the 3 mm to 10 mm shaft diameter range and that the straight .035 in tips can reach the ring grooves without obstruction. The plier has fixed, non-replaceable tips and no tether point.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the 0.035 in tips are seating correctly on external circlips after setup?

The pliers are designed for external circlips on shafts from 3 mm to 10 mm. Correct seating shows the tips fully engaged in the ring holes without slipping, and the spring return opens the jaws smoothly when released.

What comes in the box with the Knipex 46 11 A0 SBA and what must I buy separately?

The package contains the retaining ring pliers with fixed 0.035 in tips, atramentized finish, and black plastic cushion grips. No replaceable tips or tether accessories are included or available for this model.

Which version should I choose for external circlips on shafts between 3 mm and 10 mm?

This model 46 11 A0 SBA is built for that exact range with straight 0.035 in tips and spring return. Other Knipex variants have different tip angles, diameters, or internal-ring designs, so select this one for external rings in the 3 mm to 10 mm range.
