    KNIPEX has a new addition to the Circlip Pliers line - the Precision Circlip Pliers with overstretching limiter.

    Like the original Precision Circlip Pliers, these pliers feature spring steel tips that are form-fitted inserted and compressed-in for up to 10 times longer service life compared to turned tips, but have the added feature of an adjustable overexpansion limiter with screw stop to prevent the permanent stretching of snap rings.

    The full line consists of 16 pliers for external or internal snap rings, available with straight or 90-degree tips. 

    • Overstretching limiter can be adjusted and set - The company says this is "great" for frequent work with same sized snap rings
    • Bolted joint for precise operation of pliers
    • Spring steel tips are inserted with a tight fit through compression - The company says this makes it 30 percent more stable than conventional pliers
    • Precision circlip tips fit snap rings without distortion
    • External precision circlips have a spring inside the joint - prevents spring from getting dirty or lost
    • German chrome vanadium electric steel
