User questions & answers

Question:	Do these pliers have the set screw to make small adjustments and not over stretch your circlips
Answer:	no
Question:	Origin above says china. i thought knipex were german. what's the truth
Answer:	Knipex is a German manufacturer of pliers for professional use. The headquarters are located in Wuppertal-Cronenberg. For four generations, Knipex has been an independent, owner-managed family company. WikipediaHeadquarters: Wuppertal, GermanyFounded: 1882, Wuppertal, GermanyCEO: Ralf Putsch
Question:	What is the warranty on this set
Answer:	If you scroll down in the discription you can click on the KNIPEX warranty information and see what it says for yourself and make a decession basied on what you read.
Question:	Are all of the pliers in the set spring loaded? I just got mine and only two of them are spring loaded
Answer:	The 2 shorter handle pliers (straight and bent) in the top left compartment should both be spring assisted... and the 2 longer handle pliers (straight and bent) in the very bottom compartment should both be spring assisted. To spot the spring loaded pliers in the picture (as well as my personal set) look for the pliers that appear to be open in the picture. So you should have a total of 4 pliers with a spring load and 4 pliers without. This would be the difference in pliers used for internal snap rings vs external snap rings. So "Rick's" answer below, is incorrect, if in fact he has the exact same set as these... or he better check his pliers again... because he should return them for the right ones...lol. Hope this helps.

Product features

Knipex 00 20 04 SB, 8-Piece Precision Circlip Snap-Ring Pliers Set

Knipex’s Precision Snap Ring Pliers feature spring steel tips that will last longer than typical snap ring pliers. Significant pressure is exerted on snap rings when they are put on or taken off. Sometimes, this pressure is transferred to the pliers tip which can subsequently cause breakage, especially when the tip is poorly cnstructed from pressed steel. Knipex’s Snap Ring Pliers are forged from a solid piece of Chrome vanadium steel. These pliers are much stronger, perform more consistently and will last much longer (up to 10X longer) than other pliers. The tips of the Snap Ring Pliers feature a grooved surface that acts to hold the snap ring on the tips of the pliers more securely. These spring steel Snap Ring Pliers are available in several diameter sizes with internal and external tips in a straight or 90° angled design. They are available individually or in popular sized sets.

Quality in Every Detail

Sometimes we give our pliers a really hard time. We try to destroy them to find out what makes them good and long-lasting. Because we don't want to leave anything to chance, we take a long, careful look.

The steel Knipex uses is precisely hardened with a maximum of 0.8% carbon and defined parts of chromium and vanadium, guaranteeing optimum cutting performance and service life — even though it requires special production and costs a bit more. But our high product demands require this.

Knipex also looks closely at the small details. The angles, the sharpness, the hardness, the toughness of the cutting edges. The precision and smooth movement of the joint. The handle design and the finish. We keep reviewing these subjects, we research, we test, and we improve our pliers.

Answer:	Not spring loaded, but work well
Question:	Is the info on Cal Hawk accurate, if so, explain why only two sizes in an eleven piece. Thanks
Answer:	No, they are not heavy duty. They are quite flimsy.
