I put on alot of CV axle boots and these remove and install the "C" style circlips easily. Worth every penny, don't waste your money on the cheaper thinly made pliers, Knipex are a quality tool. Review: You definately get what you pay for - This item was a bit pricey, but worth every penny. It's German-made, so you know it's quality right from the get-go. I was trying to remove those "snap-rings" from my transmission output shaft, and my snap-ring pliers wouldn't cut it, and actually broke. These pliers did the job beautifully. They are sturdy and strong, and I am very glad that I bought these. ## Features - For fitting horseshoe-shaped spring retaining rings and circles without grip holes. - For shaft retaining devices. - With opening spring. - Chrome vanadium electric steel, forged, oil-hardened. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003UHUCQM | | Best Sellers Rank | #436,277 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #413 in Snap-Ring Pliers | | Brand | KNIPEX | | Brand Name | KNIPEX | | Color | Multi | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 455 Reviews | | Cutting width | 6.75 Inches | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00843221004781 | | Grip Type | Padded | | Handle Material | Plastic | | Included Components | Knipex - 45 10 170 | | Item Dimensions L x W | 4.3"L x 1.4"W | | Item Type Name | Knipex - 45 10 170 | | Item Weight | 0.14 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Knipex Tools | | Manufacturer Part Number | 45 10 170 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Workmanship and Materials | | Material | Blend | | Material Type | Blend | | Model Number | 45 10 170 | | Product Dimensions | 4.3"L x 1.4"W | | Specific Uses For Product | Service Field | | Specification Met | RoHS, REACH compliant | | UPC | 843221004781 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** KNIPEX - **Color:** Multi - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00843221004781 - **Grip Type:** Padded - **Handle Material:** Plastic - **Material:** Blend - **Product Dimensions:** 4.3"L x 1.4"W - **Specific Uses For Product:** Service Field - **Specification Met:** RoHS, REACH compliant - **UPC:** 843221004781 ## Images ![KNIPEX - 45 10 170 Tools - Special Circlip Pliers, Retaining Rings (4510170) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61z1ZwfKH2L.jpg) ![KNIPEX - 45 10 170 Tools - Special Circlip Pliers, Retaining Rings (4510170) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61CmqAQpqOL.jpg) ![KNIPEX - 45 10 170 Tools - Special Circlip Pliers, Retaining Rings (4510170) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61P0duagwTL.jpg) ![KNIPEX - 45 10 170 Tools - Special Circlip Pliers, Retaining Rings (4510170) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61aRaS0u7EL.jpg) ![KNIPEX - 45 10 170 Tools - Special Circlip Pliers, Retaining Rings (4510170) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61vHgp3Tn-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tool *by M***E on July 27, 2023* These pliers work excellent.

It's German-made, so you know it's quality right from the get-go.

Smaller clips can be opened a number of ways but the big one needed this tool. It worked great. I like the knives brand for its sturdiness and feel of quality. I added a photo of the tip to show the knurled surface ## Frequently Bought Together - KNIPEX - 45 10 170 Tools - Special Circlip Pliers, Retaining Rings (4510170) , 6.75 - KNIPEX Tools 00 20 04 SB, Precision Circlip Snap-Ring Red Pliers 8-Piece Set - KNIPEX TwinGrip Pliers --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/2401517-knipex-45-10-170-tools-special-circlip-pliers-retaining-rings](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/2401517-knipex-45-10-170-tools-special-circlip-pliers-retaining-rings) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-07-29*
