User questions & answers

Question:	What is the width of the serrated surface for gripping the clips
Answer:	The width of the serrated surface is 0.275 inches and the depth is 0.385 inches.
Question:	What is the maximum spread
Answer:	I get 1.456" over the jaws fully extended. Great tool, like all Knipex tools. I disassemble and re-assemble equipment with lots of heavy split rings. These are solid and well engineered.
Question:	Does this tool have a recessed groove in each jaw for gripping and expanding a wire ring-type hose clamp
Answer:	No, these pliers would be inappropriate for your application. There is no recessed groove. They are better suited for large heavy snap rings. I use them for transmission and drive axle work.

User questions & answers

Question:	I purchased this lock ring plier in june of 2018, and one of the tips broke today/normal use. does this tool have a warranty
Answer:	Stanley Proto supposedly offers a lifetime warranty on their hand tools. I bought a wrench a while back for a special job and the pin that held everything together snapped. I contacted Proto and sent them pictures. They wanted me to pay to ship it to them and then they would replace the pin. Not what I would consider professional in a warranty service. I shouldn’t have to pay to ship the broken tool to the manufacture for them to honor the warranty. So in other words, if you are willing to pay to have your broken pliers shipped to Stanley Proto, they may end up replacing them.
Question:	Can this be used to remove threads from a candelabra bulb that broke off in the socket
Answer:	I don't know why it would not work. I have used standard needle nose. Bend the metal base that was part of the bulb so you can get a grip on it. This might work well if you have limited room.
Question:	What is the width of the tip, while closed
Answer:	0.1365" measured with a digital caliper. Allow some 'wiggle room'.
Question:	How wide do these open? I need to know for sure, not about
Answer:	I need pliers that work on lock ring that has a forty five cut . Don't need pliers that work on snap rings with eyelet to remove

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the measurements from the pivot to the tip? I need to know the length, width, and thickness please
Answer:	The distance between the end of the tip to the center of the pivot (rivet) is 3". When the pliers are opened in full, there are 2" from the back of the "throat" to the tip. When open, the distance from tip to tip is slightly larger than 1-1/2". The width of the face of the pliers at the pivot 3/4" and the depth is 3/8".
Question:	What is the difference between the angle and straight tips
Answer:	The angle tip pliers (G409P) have a dimple which helps to grip springs. The straight tip pliers (G407P) have less surface area on the tip and do not have a dimple. Both of those pliers are machined with a cross-hatch knurl that help secure the grip.
Question:	What is the maximum spread on these pliers
Answer:	I measured 41mm of spread fully opened
Question:	Do the tips have a dimple in them
Answer:	Yes and it's on of the best tools out there for removing and installing c-clips and other types.

User questions & answers

Question:	Alltrade 940759 Powerbuilt Digital
Answer:	It is a very beefy well made tool and should last several life times. It was to big for the eclips I wanted it for. I wanted it for 8x1.3mm clips and it was all but impossible to get its lips under the ends of the eclip to pry it open. I think it would work pretty good on eclips that are bigger, say 1-1/2 to 2x times bigger.
Question:	how wide do the jaws open
Answer:	Hi, they open 1" 11/16 wide
Question:	Are for the lock rings with no holes at end, like for c-clip type lock rings? Not necessarily for snap rings with the holes at the ends
Answer:	These are not for snap rings with holes, They are for normal C-clip retaining rings. (these retaining rings usually have pointed ends )
