Very long reach needle nose pliers with a ridged profile, for fitters, mechanics and general engineering use. Thanks to their slim, long design, even low-lying parts — where cladding or metal plates would otherwise need removing — can be reached without dismantling the surrounding assembly. These situations arise naturally during repair work, or installation in plant engineering and production facilities, wherever space is too tight for conventional pliers.
Various gripping profiles suit different applications. The half-round tips are milled with a ridged centre, allowing components at a distance to be gripped and held accurately without damage. Milled cross slots with a smooth surface let sensitive round parts — small copper pipes, hoses or plastic screw joints — be held and guided gently but firmly, holding materials up to 2¼" in diameter. The serrated pipe grip, meanwhile, is built for firmly gripping and powerfully twisting less sensitive round components.
Though slim, these pliers are genuinely tough: forged from special tool steel and oil-hardened, with a favourable ratio of grip length to head that gives the body the elasticity and toughness needed for firm gripping over long reach. Non-slip plastic-coated handles keep them comfortable in the hand.
The slim, half-round tips reach parts that would otherwise mean removing cladding or panels first, saving genuine time on repair work in plant rooms or production facilities. Two distinct gripping profiles in one tool — smooth milled slots for sensitive components and a serrated pipe grip for tougher twisting work — mean fewer tool changes mid-job, and oil-hardened tool steel construction gives the reach needed without sacrificing durability.
