Short Description

The Circlip Plier 1442-13 (Bent Nose) is an industrial-strength, long-reach tool featuring a 90-degree angled tip, specifically designed for the effortless installation and removal of extra-large internal circlips in deep, obstructed, or heavy-duty bore housings.

Long Description

Forged from high-performance 5Cr13 spring steel, the 1442-13 model is engineered to handle the immense tension required for large-scale industrial retaining rings. Its massive 310-mm profile provides maximum mechanical leverage, allowing operators to compress high-tension internal clips with minimal effort. The 90-degree bent nose design allows for superior visibility and access when working around internal obstructions or within deep cylinders where straight-nose pliers are ineffective.

The tool is finished with a professional black nitride coating for superior resistance to rust and surface wear in harsh environments. To ensure maximum operator control and safety, it features ergonomic anti-slip rubberized handles that provide a secure, comfortable grip, significantly reducing hand fatigue during intensive maintenance tasks in shipyards, power plants, and heavy automotive workshops.

Why Choose This Product?

Choose the 1442-13 for its exceptional 310-mm reach and specialized angled accessibility. It offers a cost-effective solution for professionals dealing with large-bore internal snap rings (up to 165 mm) that require high-torque compression. The combination of a hardened steel frame and precisely machined 3.2-mm tips ensures the circlip remains locked on the tool, preventing dangerous slips and improving overall efficiency.
