HELICOIL pliers

HELICOIL offers this pliers. Pliers extend your hand: they grip hard and reach places your fingers cannot. Each shape has its job: combination pliers to hold and cut, long-nose pliers for tight spots, circlip pliers for retaining rings, hose clamp pliers for hoses, crimping pliers for electrical terminals.

Why pliers suited to the job?

The benefits:

• Specialist pliers (circlip, clamp, crimping): they do the job cleanly where combination pliers slip or crush.
• Treated steel and serrated jaws: a firm grip without having to squeeze with all your strength.
• Depending on the model, two-material handle covers or increased leverage: less effort and a better grip.

Why choose HELICOIL?

The HELICOIL thread insert principle was patented in the USA in 1938; Böllhoff has made it under licence in Germany since the 1950s and has owned the trademark worldwide since 2021. The A2 stainless steel (1.4301) insert restores a true-to-gauge thread that resists wear and corrosion in soft metals such as the aluminium or magnesium of engine cases.

When should you replace this tool?

Worn or smooth jaws, bent or chipped tips, dull cutting edges, a joint with play: replace the pliers, they slip, cut poorly and damage the part.

Specifications and fitting tips

• Manufacturer part number: 22502000501

Cross-Mania tip: Do not use pliers to undo a nut: they round off its flats. For a circlip, use pliers with the right tips (internal or external) and open it just enough to lift it out of its groove.

Compatibility

Workshop tool: it works on any motorcycle or ATV. Just check the size or dimension stated.
