Knipex 19 01 130 Circlip Pliers

The Knipex 19 01 130 Circlip Pliers are compact precision pliers designed for safe and accurate handling of small circlips and retaining rings. With a jaw width of 2 mm and a total length of 130 mm, these pliers offer fine tip access in confined spaces while remaining easy to control. The tool is constructed to be bump resistant and dielectric, providing additional safety when working near electrical components. Their robust build supports repeated use in workshop and industrial environments.

Advantages

These Knipex circlip pliers combine small jaw dimensions with a compact overall size to deliver precise manipulation of small rings without sacrificing durability. The dielectric property reduces the risk of electrical conduction when working close to live circuits, and the bump-resistant design protects the tip and mechanism from damage during routine handling. The compact profile and ergonomic shape contribute to comfortable use and improved control when performing repetitive or delicate tasks.

Suitable for

• Installation and removal of small internal and external circlips in tight assemblies
• Precision mechanical work in watchmaking, electronics, and instrumentation
• Maintenance and repair tasks in automotive and small engine components
• Workshop use where access is limited and controlled tip action is required

Key specifications

• Jaw width: 2 mm for fine-tip engagement
• Overall length: 130 mm for compact handling
• Height: 12 mm for low-profile access
• Bump-resistant tip design to reduce damage from impacts
• Dielectric insulation to reduce electrical conductivity risk
• Robust construction for repeated professional use

How to use

Select the appropriate orientation (internal or external) and place the tips into the circlip’s eyelets. Squeeze the handles gently and evenly to compress or expand the circlip until it can be removed or positioned. Use controlled movements to avoid overstressing the circlip or the pliers’ tips. After use, inspect the tips for deformation and store the pliers in a dry place to maintain dielectric properties and mechanical integrity.

Recommendations

Use the Knipex 19 01 130 for tasks that require precise tip action and low-profile access. Avoid using the pliers on fasteners or materials outside their intended circlip application to prevent tip damage. When working near live electrical parts, ensure overall safety procedures are followed despite the dielectric properties of the tool.
