Built to DIN 5256 D standards, this tool features 90-degree inserted tips and handles a ring diameter range of 3\/4 inch to 2-3\/64 inch. The steel body is engineered for heavy-duty shop use, with a zero backlash operation and an overstretching limiter that prevents ring or tip damage during use. Overall length is 165.00 mm (approximately 6.5 inches), and the tool weighs 0.395 pounds. Mechanical technicians, maintenance professionals, and assembly technicians working with circlip fasteners will find this plier well-suited for precise, controlled ring placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 48 41 J21 is used in applications where internal circlips must be seated into grooves inside bores, cylinders, housings, or bearing pockets. The 90-degree tip angle allows access in tight or recessed installations where straight-tip pliers cannot reach effectively. Typical install scenarios include drivetrain assemblies, hydraulic cylinder rebuilds, pump housings, and general mechanical maintenance. The adjustable stop screw helps the technician set a consistent tip spread, reducing the risk of overexpansion and improving repeatability across multiple rings of the same size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e90-degree inserted tips for accessing internal circlip grooves in recessed bores\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOverstretching limiter with overexpansion guard prevents ring and tip damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZero backlash operation provides precise tip control during ring placement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdjustable stop screw allows repeatable tip spread setting for consistent work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBolted joint construction for rigid, play-free tip alignment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets DIN 5256 D standards for circlip plier performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for internal retaining rings with a diameter range of 0.750 inch to 2.047 inch (3\/4 inch to 2-3\/64 inch).

Always relieve system pressure and de-energize any associated equipment before disassembling housings or bearing pockets. Use the adjustable stop screw to pre-set tip spread before ring engagement to avoid overexpansion. Eye protection is strongly recommended, as circlips can release stored energy suddenly during installation or removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Internal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Precision Circlip Pliers for Internal Circlips\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 90 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.80 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRing Diameter Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inch to 2-3\/64 inch (0.750 inch to 2.047 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 165.00 mm (6.75 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Non-Slip Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTether Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Not Tether Capable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.395 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.75 inches L x 1.9 inches W x 0.95 inches H\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: DIN 5256 D\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112110\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: KNIPEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 48 41 J21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KNIPEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51538246992178,"sku":"48 41 J21","price":84.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/032e22905327956c72b0e845c24fa818.jpg?v=1785820713","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/knipex-48-41-j21-internal-retaining-ring-pliers","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
