Knipex Precision External Circlip Pliers - 19-60mm Shafts, 180mm
Knipex 4911A2 precision external circlip pliers for fitting and removing circlips on shafts in the 19–60mm range, in a 180mm pliers body. The A2 sits in the middle of the precision circlip range - above the A1 at 10–25mm for light mechanical and automotive work, and below the A3 at 40–100mm for heavy industrial and agricultural applications - covering the shaft sizes most commonly encountered in general mechanical assembly, automotive drivetrain components, gearbox work, and industrial equipment maintenance. The inserted spring steel tips, zero-backlash bolted joint, and large contact faces that define the 4911 precision series are fully present here, in a size and shaft range that sees the broadest daily use across the trades.

Knipex Precision External Circlip Pliers - 19-60mm Shafts, 180mm
- 19–60mm shaft range — the broadest everyday coverage in the precision circlip series — The A2 covers the shaft sizes most commonly encountered across general mechanical assembly, automotive gearboxes, industrial equipment, and agricultural machinery; more versatile than the fine-end A1 and more accessible than the heavy A3, this is the precision circlip pliers that handles the widest range of day-to-day circlip work from a single tool
- Inserted spring steel tips for up to 10 times longer service life — The tips are cold-formed from high-density spring steel wire and positively inserted into the base tips, delivering up to 10 times the service life of conventional turned tips in continuous operation; across the 19–60mm shaft range where circlip work appears regularly in production and service environments, that durability difference is felt directly in replacement frequency and total cost of ownership
- Large contact faces prevent circlip distortion across the range — The large, straight contact surfaces behind the non-slip angled tips distribute installation and removal load evenly across the circlip mounting holes; across the A2's shaft range, where circlip sizes vary considerably from the smaller end to 60mm, consistent contact geometry is what keeps installation quality reliable regardless of which size is being fitted
- Zero-backlash bolted joint for controlled precision — The bolted joint delivers smooth, precise operation with zero backlash across the full 19–60mm working range; in confined assembly and service situations where the circlip needs to be guided accurately into its groove without over-opening or drifting, the control a zero-backlash joint provides is the difference between a clean installation and a fumbled one
- Captive internal opening spring — ready for the next circlip — The protected internal spring keeps the pliers open and consistently ready between installations without snagging, losing tension, or being lost in a production or workshop environment; a small detail that adds up across any high-volume circlip operation
- Chrome vanadium electric steel, forged and oil-hardened — The pliers body is manufactured from chrome vanadium electric steel, forged and oil-hardened for the strength and service life that professional daily use across a broad shaft range demands; the grey atramentised finish protects the body in the workshop and industrial environments where the A2 is most commonly deployed
