Precision External Circlip Pliers 49 21 A11

Knipex 49 21 A11 pliers are built for removing and fitting external circlips on shafts from 10 mm to 25 mm. The 90-degree bent tips and 0.051 in tip diameter reach into tight bores where straight jaws cannot. Professional mechanics and maintenance technicians use them for gearbox, pump and general assembly work.

Sustained use with spring-return action

The bolted joint and inserted spring-steel wire tips keep alignment accurate over repeated cycles. A spring-return mechanism opens the jaws automatically after each clip, reducing hand fatigue during long sessions. The atramentized phosphate finish resists corrosion in workshop environments. Plastic cushion grips stay comfortable when the job runs past a quick repair.

Easy install with bent-tip access

Slip the tips into the circlip holes, squeeze the handles and the ring expands for removal or installation. The 90-degree bend clears obstructions that block straight pliers. No replaceable tips are fitted, so worn tips mean replacing the tool. Spring tension is fixed and not user-adjustable.

Questions about this item

Do the 90-degree bent tips on the 5 1/8 in pliers stay cool during all-day use?

The pliers are hand tools with no powered components, so they do not generate heat during operation.

What external circlip sizes between 10 mm and 25 mm shaft diameter can the 0.051 in tips engage?

The tips fit external circlips on shafts from 10 mm to 25 mm diameter.

Will the atramentized phosphate finish resist corrosion when stored with older chrome-plated tools?

The phosphate coating provides corrosion resistance and will not react with chrome-plated tools in storage.
