KNIPEX 6-Piece Circlip Pliers Set in 1/3 Foam Module for Internal and External Rings J0-2/A0-2

Working with circlips—those small but essential retaining rings—can be frustrating without the right tools. Standard pliers often slip, scratch the ring, or fail to reach recessed positions, turning a simple job into a struggle. This KNIPEX 6-piece circlip pliers set solves that problem by providing dedicated internal and external pliers in a compact, organized foam module. Each pair is engineered for precise, secure handling of circlips from 3 to 60 mm, ensuring you can work efficiently and safely on gearboxes, motors, bearings, and countless other assemblies.

Who is it for

This set is built for professional mechanics, electricians, and industrial maintenance technicians who demand reliable, long-lasting tools. If you frequently service machinery, automotive components, or electrical equipment, having the correct circlip pliers at hand saves time and prevents damage to delicate parts. The foam module fits perfectly into KNIPEX tool cases and trolleys with 1/3 module slots, making it an ideal addition to a mobile workshop or a stationary tool storage system.

Tips

Always select the correct plier type (internal or external) and size for the circlip you are working with. The turned pins are designed to fit the circlip holes precisely; avoid using the pliers on rings without proper holes. After use, wipe the pliers clean and return them to their designated foam pockets to maintain organization and protect the tips.
